Battery Charging; Charging Ports; Ac Charging, Safe Area - Honeywell BW RigRat User Manual

6. Battery Charging

Always fully charge the battery before using the RigRat. Its Li-ion batteries are charged by connecting
the instrument to its charger (P/N: W03-3044-000) and then plugging the charger into an AC power
source. In safe settings, use the AC Charge input with the included power adapter.

Charging Ports

There are two charging ports:


AC Charging, Safe Area


Intrinsically Safe Charging For Hazardous Areas
Remove the cover for the appropriate port by turning it counterclockwise:
Note that the ports have different pin configurations and therefore require different cables for
connection.
Make sure the cable connector is tight. Finger-tighten the connectors, but do not use tools.
Align the connector and plug and then press in and turn the ring until it clicks.
6.1.1. AC Charging, Safe Area
For charging in safe areas, use the AC/DC adapter (P/N: W03-3044-000). Remove the dust cap on the
port labeled AC CHG SAFE AREA, align the indexing pins on the connectors, press in, and then turn
the ring until it clicks.
IMPORTANT!
Make sure the cable connector is tight. Finger-tighten the connectors, but do not use tools.
It is strongly suggested to turn off the RigRat while charging on the AC charger. Running the RigRat
while charging results in a longer charging time.
