The second button-press
activates the time display.
The ‘HRS’ LED will flash twice.
The number of hours will be
indicated by the number of lit
LEDs: each LED = 1 hour.
The ‘MINS’ LED will then flash
twice.
The number of minutes will be
indicated by the number of lit
LEDs: each LED = 10 mins.
PAG L96e batteries maintain an accurate state-of-charge display by
tracking cell performance and adjusting the calibration values to
compensate for ageing. They do not require a periodic ‘service charge’
to maintain display accuracy.
4.7 In-Viewfinder Battery Status (V-Mount & PAGlok Models only)
Available capacity, as a percentage, can be displayed in the viewfind-
ers of cameras designed to accept this data. Different data standards
are used by camera and battery manufacturers; PAG L96e batteries
adjust the data output standard automatically to support the
following: SMB (Sony), I2C (IDX) and analogue 0V to 5V (Anton-
Bauer). The L96e can also be programmed to display capacity in the
viewfinders of RED cameras. Press the display button twice, holding
down on the second press until the top 2 LEDs light. This indicates that
the battery is now compatible with the RED data protocol (reversed
SMB). When the battery is connected to a camera with a different data
protocol it will automatically adjust to communicate with that system.
To return to RED compatibility repeat the two-button-press process.
5.1 Notwithstanding any provision of any agreement the following
guarantee is exclusive: PAG Limited guarantees each PAG L96e battery
it manufactures to be free of defects in material and workmanship
under normal use and service for 2 YEARS from the date of purchase.
This guarantee extends only to the original purchaser. This guarantee
shall not apply to fuses or any product or parts which have been
subject to misuse, neglect, accident or abnormal conditions of
operation.
5.2 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.
5.3 The foregoing guarantee is in lieu of all other guarantees, express or
implied, including but not limited to any implied guarantee or
merchantability, fitness or adequacy for any particular purpose or use.
PAG Limited shall not be liable for any special, incidental, or
consequential damages, whether in contract, tort, or otherwise.
4.6 Run-Time Indication:
The display is also capable of indicating an estimate of remaining
run-time, on-load.
4.1 Charging
IMPORTANT: THE BATTERY IS ELECTRONICALLY PROTECTED, AND WILL
NOT ACCEPT A CHARGE FROM UNSUITABLE CHARGERS.
PAGlok Model: the battery can ONLY be charged from a PAG ACS
charger that is designed to charge PAG Lithium-Ion batteries.
A software upgrade may be required for PAGlok chargers manufactured
prior to November 2008, to enable them to charge the PAG L96e battery.
V-Mount Compatible Model: the battery can be charged from a
PAG V-Mount compatible charger, such as the PAGlink PL16 Model
9707, PAGlink Cube Model 9708, PAGlink Micro Charger Model 9710
and PAG Cube Model 9702V. A software upgrade may be required for
PAGlok or PAG Snap-on compatible chargers manufactured prior to
November 2008, to enable them to charge the V-Mount L96e via the
front PP90 sockets, using charge adaptor Model 9617.
Gold Mount Compatible Model: the battery can be charged from an
Anton Bauer Li-Ion charger or a PAG ACS charger that is designed to
charge PAG Li-Ion batteries, e.g. Pulsar, Quasar or AR Series 2 chargers.
A software upgrade may be required for PAG chargers manufactured prior
to November 2008, to enable them to charge the PAG L96e battery.
READ THE CHARGER HANDBOOK BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO CHARGE THE
BATTERY.
4.2 Protection Shutdown
IMPORTANT: If the battery is discharged at too high a rate, even
momentarily, it will disconnect its output. This is a safety feature.
It should be noted that even if the nominal consumption of a camera
and light falls within the rating of the battery, high current surges can
occur when the recorder or the light is turned on which may be
sufficient to exceed the rating and trip the protection circuit.
IMPORTANT: A tungsten-filament light draws a high current pulse when
it is turned on from cold, and this may trigger the over-current
protection. This can be avoided by using a suitable light (refer to
Section 3.7 above).
4.3 Battery Output Re-set Procedure
If the battery has been shut down by its protection circuit it can be
recovered by simply removing it from the load and pressing the
display button, provided the battery still retains some charge.
4.4 Thermal Protection
When the battery has been discharged at a high rate it will become
warm, and it is advisable to let it cool before charging it. The battery
may be charged within the temperature range 0°C to +40°C but
optimum performance will be in the range +10°C to +40°C.
4.5 Capacity Indication
A single button-press displays charge status in terms of percentage.
The LEDs light clockwise, from the top right round to the top left.
5 LEDs = 80 - 100% remaining
4 LEDs = 60 - 79% remaining
3 LEDs = 40 - 59% remaining
2 LEDs = 20 - 39% remaining
1 LED = 10 - 19% remaining
1 LED flashing = 0 - 10% remaining
