• For replacement or additional battery pack, contact your distributor
• Do not disassemble or alter this product
Important Safety Information
DANGER
• Use the specic Li-ion charger and observe the specied charging conditions when
charging the battery.
• Avoid inuences of high (or higher) temperature and do not throw the battery into a re.
• Do not deform, modify or disassemble of the battery.
• Do not connect the (+) and (-) terminals with metal objects.
• Do not put the battery into the water or sea water.
• Do not throw with the battery to avoid strong shocks.
WARNING
WARNING
• When a battery leaks, the battery should directly be wrapped up properly and treated as
recyclable recourse.
• When, due to leaking from the battery, liquid gets into your eyes, immediately clean the
a󰀨ected area with water without rubbing your eyes, and seek medical advice immediately.
• The charging of the battery will be stopped automatically. When due to what course the
battery is not fully charged after 8 hours (LED of the charger doesn’t become green),
immediately unplug the battery from the holder to stop charging. Battery or charger does
not work properly, exchange battery or charger.
• Storing and/or using the battery outside the given temperature ranges may have a
negative e󰀨ect on the lifetime performance of the battery.
• Do not longer use a battery with leakages, deformation or when any other abnormalities
occur.
• Battery should be charged in a dry surrounding.
2.1 Lithium Ion Battery (option)
Charging can be carried out at any time regardless of the amount of charge remaining, but
you should fully charge the battery at the following moments:
• The battery is not fully charged at the time of delivery! Before using the weighing
system, be sure that the battery is fully charged.
• After the battery has become completely empty. An empty battery will get broken (loss of
capacity) when not directly fully charged.
USER MANUAL – RAVAS-320 5

Specications
Introduction
You cannot use the battery immediately after shipment. The battery can be used after
fully charging with the specic Li-ion charger. The LED on the battery charger will become
green when fully charged.
• Normal charging
- Charging takes up to 6-7 hours for a full charge (a partially discharged battery will be
fully charged sooner).
- When the battery is fully charged, charger stops automatically.
- After charging, the battery should be taken out of the charger.
• Storing the battery
- When the weighing system is not used for a longer period, make sure the battery has
approximately 70% of the battery capacity remaining. Take care not to let the battery
become completely empty by charging it every 6 months.
- Store the battery separated from the weighing system in an indoor place
(approx. +10°C - +20°C) where it does not become exposed to direct sunlight or rain.
• Battery life
The battery is a consumable item. The battery will gradually lose its capacity for charging
after repeated use and after time has passed. If the operating time that the battery can
be used becomes shorter and shorter, it has probably reached the end of its life. Order a
new battery (a proper way of use and charging will result into a longer life time).
• About used batteries
Lithium ion batteries are recyclable, valuable resources. For recycling of broken batteries,
follow the local guidelines in your country. If you are not sure, please sent back to the
distributor for proper way of recycling.

3. System setup
3.1 Placing the battery pack in the pallet truck
The power supply to the system takes place through an exchangeable battery pack. With a
completely charged battery pack the total weighing time is about 75 hours for a Li-ion battery
(for a system without a printer).
