4.1 IMPORTANT: Note Section 4.13, Supply Failure. PAGlink Micro
Chargers may be disconnected from the supply at any time in
complete safety and without damage to the charger or any
batteries connected.
4.2 Fit the AC connector (plug) to the charger. Connect the V-Mount
charging shoe to the charger. Clip the V-Mount charging shoe
over the contacts of the battery. Connect the charger to a suitable
AC supply.
4.3 On power-up the charger will automatically run a self test program
and then the Recovery Charge program. Any batteries that are
connected to the charger but which do not require the Recovery
Charge program will be charged as normal.
4.4 Key to the PAGlink Micro Charger LED indcation:
RED Constant = ABSENT
ORANGE Flashing = CHARGING
GREEN Constant = DONE
RED Flashing = FAULTY
4.5 With no batteries connected, the charger’s LED indicator will be
lit RED continuously. Charging will automatically commence after
10 seconds and the LED will flash ORANGE while charging is
occurring.
4.6 Each battery’s state of charge will be indicated on its individual
capacity display.
NOTE: When a Li-Ion battery has been charged to approximately
80%, the charge current is reduced. Li-Ion batteries must receive a
reduced charge rate during the final phase.
4.7 The charger’s LED indicator will light GREEN, when batteries are
fully-charged and have received as much charge as they can safely
accept.
4.8 Batteries may be removed, and others connected at any time,
without affecting the operation of the charger.
4.9 If a new battery is connected, the charging sequence will be
initiated automatically. The most discharged battery will be
addressed first. The order in which batteries are connected is
therefore immaterial; the charger will ensure that all batteries are
charged in due course.
4.10 If the charger detects a severely faulty battery while the charging
program is running, the LED will flash RED. This could be caused
by one of several conditions, such as a very old or damaged
battery, a short circuit battery, an excessively high or low voltage
battery, or an excessively high or low supply voltage. The charger
is reset by disconnecting it from the power supply.
4.11 The charger will not recognise the connection of a battery which
has a voltage substantially outside of its range.
4.12 If the internal protection circuit of a PAG Li-Ion battery should
turn off for any reason, the battery display will not operate, and
there will be no voltage at the battery terminals. The PAGlink
Micro Charger incorporates a Recovery Charge program which will
automatically turn the protection circuit back on again.
4.13 If AC 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.
Servicing & Repairs
Guarantee
U5118 / SEP 2017
5.1 Refer all servicing or repairs to an authorised PAG Service Centre.
The PAGlink Micro Charger contains advanced electronics that do
not require periodic maintenance. Consequently there are no user-
serviceable parts inside.
5.2 Qualified 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 5 minutes following disconnection before
commencing disassembly and be aware of charged capacitors.
5.3 The PAGlink Micro Charger features a fail-safe shutdown mode.
In this case, the charger should be disconnected from the supply,
and the unit allowed to cool before reconnecting to the supply.
Should the charger re-enter the fail-safe shutdown mode, more
detailed investigation is required. Seek advice from an authorised
PAG Service Centre.
5.4 If any part of the charger has been damaged, if it has been
exposed to moisture, rain or liquid, or if it does not operate
normally, seek advice from an authorised PAG Service Centre.
Unqualified personnel should not attempt further investigation
(see paragraph 5.1). Any such interference will invalidate the
guarantee.

conditions of operation.
6.2 In the event of failure of a product covered by this guarantee,
PAG Limited will repair and calibrate equipment returned to an
authorised Service Facility within the period of the guarantee,
provided the guarantor’s examination discloses to its satisfaction
the product was defective. The guarantor may, at its option, replace
the product in lieu of repair. With regard to any equipment returned
within this period, said repairs or replacements will be made
without charge. If the failure has been caused by misuse, neglect,
accident or abnormal conditions of operation, repairs will be billed
at a nominal cost. In such a case, an estimate will be submitted
before work is started, if requested.
