Pet Stop Charging Cradle Plus User manual

Charging Cradle Plus
The Charging Cradle Plus is capable of charging a charge cradle compatible Ecolite, and
also verifying the Ecolite is functional –including the animal correction.
Prior to use, please insert power jack into bottom of Cradle. The Cradle will power off
when not in use to conserve power.
Step 1: Insertion
Insert the Ecolite into the Charging Cradle Plus.
Observe proper orientation: Correction Posts go down into the holes in the Cradle,
charge boss faces forward and indexes with notch in Cradle. Press down on Ecolite until
the retaining arm swings over the top of the Ecolite.
Step 2: Initial Test
The Cradle will now perform a functional test of the Ecolite. While testing, Red and
Green lights will alternate to indicate the Cradle is working. It will try all possible signals
that the Ecolite can be programmed for (PetStop, IFCO 700 Series and IFCO 800 Series).
If the Ecolite passes test, the Green light will blink to indicate the Cradle has turned on
the charger and is waiting for the Ecolite to charge. If you simply wanted to test the
Ecolite and not charge it, you can remove the Ecolite now for use. Otherwise, leave in
Cradle while the Ecolite charges. Also - you do not need to charge the Ecolite
completely. It can run for several days on a 15 minute charge.
If the Ecolite fails the test, it could simply need charging. The Cradle will blink the Red
light to indicate the initial test has failed, and it will turn on the charger.

Step 3: Charging
While charging, either the Red or Green light will blink (depending on whether it passed
or failed initial test).
The Cradle will check if the Ecolite is charging once per minute for up to 4 hours. An
Ecolite with a completely discharged battery will charge in under 4 hours (typically 2.5
hours).
Step 4: Failed to Charge
If the Ecolite fails to charge completely in under 4 hours, the Red light will turn on solid
(not flash). This is an indication that the Ecolite is defective and cannot accept charge.
Step 5: Charge Complete
If the Ecolite charges properly, two things can happen depending on whether or not the
Ecolite passed the initial test:
1. If the Ecolite passed the initial test, the Green light will turn on solid (not flash)
indicating the initial test was passed and the Ecolite charged correctly. You may
now remove and use the Ecolite collar.
2. If the Ecolite failed the initial test, the Cradle will now perform another test since
the battery is now charged. If the Ecolite passes this test, the Green light will
turn on solid (not flash) indicating the Ecolite has both charged properly and
passed test. You may now remove and use the Ecolite collar. If the Ecolite still
fails to pass test, the Red light will turn on solid (not flash). This is an indication
that the Ecolite is defective and cannot respond properly to signal.
Step 6: Remove Ecolite
Pull straight up on Ecolite to remove –you may push retaining arm away from top of
Ecolite to facilitate removal.
