Battery Charger User Guide
1 Introduction of the AutoPulse Power System
The AutoPulse Power System represents a state-of-the-art breakthrough in battery technology and one
of the breakthroughs that make the AutoPulse Resuscitation System possible (see Figure 1-1). The
AutoPulse Battery communicates with the AutoPulse Battery Charger or with the AutoPulse Platform
when it is plugged into each respectively.
The Battery is intended to operate for a minimum of 30 minutes at a rate of 80 compressions per
minute.
The Battery uses nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) technology because NiMH delivers one of the highest
power outputs of any battery technology. At the same time, NiMH does not have the limiting memory
effect inherent with nickel-cadmium (NiCd) batteries or the higher weight associated with the higher
mass-to-power ratio of lead-acid batteries. The Battery automatically monitors its readiness state. As a
result, no paper battery-management systems are required to track battery status. Finally, the Battery is
mechanically keyed to the AutoPulse Platform and Battery Charger to facilitate correct installation.

Battery Charger User Guide
The Battery is mechanically keyed to the AutoPulse Platform and Battery Charger to facilitate correct
installation. The Battery’s back end contains connections for power and communications. A Battery
Status Check button illuminates the Battery’s status light-emitting diodes (LEDs).
A single Battery may perform as many as 100 charge/discharge cycles before the Battery reaches the end
of its service life. The Battery charge/discharge cycle count increments when the Battery Charger detects
that the Battery has been discharged more than 1/3 of its capacity (shallow discharge/recharge cycles will
not increment the cycle count).
Checking the Battery’s status allows you to determine the need for a charge to ensure adequate battery
capacity (run time). A green LED ensures that the Battery has the capacity for a minimum run time of
30 minutes on a typical patient. Batteries self-discharge when not in use. Recharge the Battery before use
if the amber LED illuminates (see Figure 1-3).
Caution: Remove the protective plastic cap from the Battery before attempting to charge the Battery.
Caution: Only use ZOLL Circulation Batteries specifically designed for use with the AutoPulse
System. The use of other batteries may cause permanent damage to the AutoPulse Platform
and will void the warranty.

1.1.2 Battery Charger
The Battery Charger is a stand-alone unit intended to charge and test-cycle the Batteries (see Figure 1-
4). The Battery Charger has two charging bays; each with its own indicators. The Battery Charger
automatically maintains both the state of charge and tests and maintains the Battery to its highest possible
capacity. Batteries should always be fully charged and ready for use before deploying the AutoPulse
Platform.
Batteries placed in a charging bay are automatically charged (CHARGING LED illuminated) in less than
4 1/4hours (maximum).
To maintain the Battery, the AutoPulse Battery Charger design incorporates a test-cycle mode. The test-
cycle measures the Battery’s charge-holding capability by cycling the Battery through a charge-
discharge-recharge sequence.
Batteries that pass the test remain ready for use. Batteries that fail the test undergo additional test-cycles
to attempt to restore the Battery. After three test cycles, the Battery either is restored to READY (green
LED on Battery) or has failed and should be replaced (red LED on Battery). The normal test-cycle
requires approximately 10 hours. The maximum test-cycle is approximately 30 hours if all three test-
cycles are performed.
The Battery Charger’s test-cycle mode is activated in two ways:
•Automatically at every 10th charge.
•Manually when the user presses the Start Test button on the Battery Charger Control Panel during
routine charging (amber LED).

2 Setting Up the AutoPulse Battery Charger
The AutoPulse Battery Charger must be installed near the wall outlet to which it is connected and that
outlet must be easily accessible at all times. Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet to remove power
from the Battery Charger.
Caution: Do not block the Battery Charger’s ventilation slots.
Caution: Do not operate the Battery Charger in a confined space.
Caution: Keep the Battery Charger away from moisture.
Caution: Use the Battery Charger only with ZOLL Circulation AutoPulse Battery Charger power cord.
Caution: Grounding reliability can only be achieved when the Battery Charger is connected to an
equivalent receptacle marked “hospital only” or “hospital grade.”
To prepare the Battery Charger for use:
1. Plug the alternating current (AC) power cord into the power receptacle on the back of the Battery
Charger.
2. Plug the AC power cord into an appropriate wall outlet receptacle.
When the POWER indicator (green LED) on the Battery Charger’s Control Panel illuminates, the
Battery Charger is ready for use.
If, after properly plugging in the Battery Charger, the green Power light on the Control Panel does not
illuminate, read Section 5.3.2, “Replacing a Battery Charger Fuse”.
Note: When powering up the Battery Charger, all indicators on the Control Panel will illuminate
briefly to provide a visual check that the indicator lights are functioning. If an indicator fails to
illuminate, contact ZOLL Circulation.
