4.8SUPPLY FAILURE
If the AC mains power fails during operation, the charger will shut down safely; no damage will occur to either the charger or the batteries.
When the mains power is restored the charger will default to the Main Charge program. Batteries which had been identified as charged or faulty before the supply failure, and which had not been removed, are recorded, and the charger will not attempt to charge these batteries (note: this does not apply to PAG
4.9CAMERA POWER SUPPLY MODE (Models 9752 & 9753 only)
The above Quasar models incorporate a Power Supply suitable for powering a camera. The output is rated at 50W, which is suitable for powering most professional broadcast cameras, without a light.
To enter Power Supply Mode: plug the camera lead, terminated with an
To exit Power Supply Mode: turn the camera OFF. Power Supply Mode will remain engaged until the Function Button is operated for one second, which will return the Quasar to Charging Mode. The Quasar will
4.10GENERAL
The charger continuously monitors the status of all channels and provides this information to the screen. If the charger detects a severely faulty battery while a program is running, a ‘FAIL’ indication will be displayed. This could be caused by one of several conditions, such as a very old or damaged battery, a short circuit battery, or an excessively high or low voltage battery. An ‘ABST’ indication will be displayed if a battery becomes open circuit while being charged. Conditions that could cause this include a blown battery fuse, a battery’s internal thermal cutout operating, intermittent connections, or a disconnected battery.

The charger will not attempt to process batteries which produce a 'FAIL' indication, or which have completed a program. If a battery is discon- nected, the status will revert to the 'ABST' state. Another battery can now be connected to the free channel without affecting the other channel.
To the charger there is no difference between a disconnected battery and one that is open circuit. If the charger indicates that a battery is disconnected even though it appears to be plugged in, check the battery fuse and any leads and adaptors before suspecting the charger of a fault.
Each battery will be charged to its maximum available capacity, and no advantage is to be gained from attempting to charge it further. Although

SERVICING & REPAIRS
5.1WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not attempt any servicing or repairs unless you are qualified to do so. Refer all servicing or repairs to qualified servicing personnel. The Quasar contains advanced electronics that do not require periodic maintenance. Consequently there are no user serviceable parts inside.
5.2Qualified electronics engineers who wish to gain access to internal assemblies should note that parts of the power circuit retain a high voltage even after the mains supply has been disconnected. Wait for a period of five minutes following disconnection before commencing disassembly.
5.3When the charger is correctly connected to a mains supply and the display is not functioning, it may be that a supply fuse has become open circuit. Equipment supplied for use in the UK is supplied with a standard UK mains cordset, complete with a moulded, fused plug. If this fuse has become open circuit it should be replaced by another of the correct rating (see Specification Section 2.14). USE ONLY A FUSE OF THE CORRECT RATING.
