In-Car Charging Continued…

It is recommended that all the batteries to be charged be connected to the charger before starting the car. Select In-Car operation on the rear of the VL-MR4. Connect DC Cable.

Locate the unit in a suitable position, maybe on the floor passenger’s side?

Please note that when powering the VL-MR4 from the vehicles cigar socket that some cars allow you to draw power whilst the car has not been started, others only supply an output voltage after the car has been started!

If during charge the supply voltage falls to 11.5volts the VL-MR4 will flash the chargers Red LED to indicate low voltage, where possible the VL-MR4 will complete charging the current battery being charged. In this mode the charger will not continue to charge any more batteries until the supply voltage has re-covered to a usable level.

Accessories for In-Car use

Choice of suitable DC input cables available from Hawkwoods/Dealers.

Power Supply Function

Select mains input via the switch located on the rear of the VL-MR4. Connect mains cord for AC use and select PSU function on the front of the unit.

Output:

14Volts at 60Watt maximum.

 

Short-circuit protection.

 

4 Pin XLR Wiring: 1Negative and 4 Positive.

Note: Do not exceed the output wattage of 60W. When used for lighting (50Watt lamp maximum).

Battery Revitalise Function

Connect batteries to be revitalised. To initiate the revitalise function, simply push the revitalise button within 3 seconds of the first battery commencing charge. The yellow LED will flash whilst discharging/ revitalising your battery. After the battery has been discharged the VL-MR4 will continue to charge in the usual way on move on to the next battery to be revitalised.

The revitalise function is only applicable to Ni-Cad/Ni-Mh batteries.

If a Lithium battery is encountered then it will be charged in the usual way with a no prior discharging.

The VL-MR4 will re-set automatically back to normal charge mode after all the batteries connected have received a revitalisation (excluding Lithium).

The time to revitalise your battery/batteries will depend on their state of charge before charging?

Example Discharge/Charge Times for revitalise

SNP-32 Already 50% discharged 165 mins
