DBK30A - Rechargeable Battery/Excitation Module
DBK30A Front Panel
DBK30A contains two rechargeable nickel-cadmium batteries for use with ZonicBook/618E, WBK18
modules, and transducers. DBK30A shares the same footprint as the ZonicBook/618E, allowing for
convenient stacking.
The power adapter (included) converts AC power to 24 VDC for charging DBK30A’s two battery packs.
Automatic charging circuits recharge the internal batteries quickly and safely. The charged battery runtime
depends on the current load and mode of operation.
An internal slide switch (SW2) determines the unit’s mode. The two modes are:
• 14 VDC Mode (default)
• 28 VDC Mode
You should check the power requirements of each component in your system, and then
verify that the power source can provide sufficient power to meet your runtime
requirements.
Fully charge DBK30A’s batteries before use.
