Honeywell 2020, 4820, 4820i Base Charge Mode

Base Charge Mode

In order for the battery to be charged, there must be enough voltage for the circuitry to work. There are three methods during which power can be supplied to the base:

1:9VDC power supply connected to the barrel connector 2:12VDC host power source only

3:5VDC host power source only

The chart below describes each selection by condition.

	1	2	3
Automatic	Fast Charge	Slow Charge	No Charge
Full Charge Rate	Fast Charge	Fast Charge	No Charge
Low Charge Rate	Slow Charge	Slow Charge	No Charge
Battery Charge Off	No Charge	No Charge	No Charge

Using a slow charge rate draws less current (power) from the input power source when the battery is mostly discharged.

Note: If you attach the 4820 system to a host with a 12V power source, the 12V host is dominant; the system pulls power from the host and not the 9V power supply. For example, if you have a host system with a 12 volt available to the base, it will supersede the 9V power supply. The 9V supply is not needed for 12V host applications and only serves as a backup if the system goes down.

Scan the appropriate bar code for your application. Default = Automatic.
