Dolphin 99EX ChargeBase Device (Model 99EX-CB)

Overview

The ChargeBase is a 4-slot charging cradle that can power 4 Dolphin 99EX terminals, and charge their main batteries in 4 hours for the standard 3.7V battery or 6 hours for the extended battery.

The 99EX-CB charger is designed for use with all 99EX model terminals using battery pack model 99EX-BTSC (standard Li-poly 3.7 V, 11.3 watt hour) or 99EX-BTEC (extended Li-ion 3.7 V, 18.5 watt hour) manufactured for Honeywell International Inc.

Note:

!

Dolphin 99EX models intended for use in potentially explosive atmospheres are only approved to use battery pack model 99EX-BTEC (PN 99EX-BTEC-2) or 99EX-BTSC (PN 99EX-BTSC-2). See Equipment Intended for Use in Potentially Explosive Atmospheres, starting on page 2-1for additional information.

Warning! The ChargeBase is not designed for use in hazardous locations.

!We recommend use of Honeywell peripherals, power cables, and power adapters. Use of any non-Honeywell peripherals, cables, or power adapters may cause damage not covered by the warranty.

Unpacking the ChargeBase

Open the shipping box and inspect the package to see that the following standard items are included:

•One Dolphin ChargeBase, model 99EX-CB•One power supply (see Power on page 15-3)

•One power cord

These items are needed to operate the ChargeBase. If any items are missing or anything appears to be damaged, contact your Customer Account Representative. Keep the original packaging in case you need to return the ChargeBase for service or to store the ChargeBase while not in use.

Charging

The base supplies power to the intelligent battery charging system in all Dolphin terminals, which senses when a full charge has been achieved and switches to a trickle charge to maintain the full charge.

As battery packs charge, the charging circuitry follows the two-step charging process (CC-CV) that is recommended for Li-ion batteries. The process monitors changes in temperature, current, and voltage. The main battery of each terminal charges in 4 hours for the standard 3.7V battery or 6 hours for the extended 3.7V battery.

!Before you attempt to use, charge, or change the battery in the terminal carefully read all the information under Equipment Intended for Use in Potentially Explosive Atmospheres, starting on page 2-1and the Guidelines for Battery Pack Use and Disposal on page 3-13.

Convenient Storage

Intelligent battery charging makes this base a safe and convenient storage receptacle for your Dolphin terminal.

Capacity

The base can hold up to 4 Dolphin terminals. Each charging well charges each terminal independently of the other wells.
