Bullard Eclipse Powerhouse User Manual
Page 3

Set the imager firmly into place in the Powerhouse. The gripper
arms will close, and you will hear a “click” as the unit locks into
place. If in a noisy environment, gently pull on the camera to
ensure that the locking mechanism has engaged; otherwise, the
camera will not be properly secured and could pose a hazard
in a moving vehicle. As an additional indicator, the Powerhouse
“Bullard” button will return to the non-depressed position once
the camera has been seated properly (Figure 6).
The battery charger is automatically activated when the imager
is inserted. Battery charge condition is indicated by the color
of the light emitted by the “Bullard” button. A pulsing red light
indicates that the battery is being charged; a solid green light
indicates that the battery is fully charged and its charge is
being maintained by the Powerhouse unit.
NOTE
If the charging indicator light flashes between green and
red for longer than 15 minutes, your battery is damaged
and should be disposed of properly.
Removing the Eclipse from the Powerhouse
Depress the “Bullard” button at the top of the Powerhouse with
your thumb while grasping the imager with your hand. Once the
camera has been released by the gripper arms, the imager may
be pulled away from the Powerhouse unit.
Inserting the spare rechargeable battery into the
Powerhouse
A spare battery charging port is located at the opposite end
of the charging station from the “Bullard” button. Align the
battery’s molded grooves with the grooves in the charger. Slide
the latch to the open position with one hand and insert the
Eclipse battery into the charger with your other hand, releasing
both when it locks (Figure 7).
If the battery is inserted incorrectly, it will not be possible
to fully insert it. In this case, the battery will not snap into
place, and the charging circuit will not activate. Battery charge
condition is indicated by the color emitted by the sliding latch.
A pulsing red light indicates that the battery is being charged;
a pulsing green light indicates that the battery is fully charged
and its charge is being maintained by the Powerhouse unit.
NOTE
If the charging indicator light flashes between green and
red for longer than 15 minutes, your battery is damaged
and should be disposed of properly.
