INTRODUCTION
The RCS-3U smart charger is a universal-input, nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) battery charger for rapid charging of
the NiMH batteries used in various Ocean Technology Systems’ (OTS) communications products. It is designed with
speed, simplicity, and ease of use in mind. By following the simple instructions provided here, you should experience
long-term, trouble-free use of your RCS-3U charger.
The RCS-3U charger consists of the charging module, a power input chord, and power output cord as one unit (Fig.
1). The power output connector varies depending on the version of the RCS-3U charger you have purchased. You
also have a choice of power input cords, depending on the country where you will use the charger. (Charger styles
of power outlets vary throughout the world.)
OPERATION
Refer to Figure 1 for the identity of the components.
1. Connect the power output connector to the charging connec-
tor of the communications unit. Refer to the back of this
instruction sheet for the required charging connection.
2. Connect the power input connector to the charging module
and the power input plug to the AC power source.
3. Once the connections are made, the charger will determine
the battery condition before starting to charge the battery.
The LED on the charging module indicates the charging status (Table 1).
If the battery is defective or damaged, and the LED does not
change from green to red after repeated charging attempts,
the battery may need replacement. (Replacement batteries
are available from OTS or your local dealer.)
4. When the LED indicates “trickle charge” status (Table 1),
charging is complete. Unplug the charger from the AC power
source and the battery or communications unit.
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTES
1. Do not attempt to charge alkaline or other non-rechargeable
batteries. Doing so may damage the batteries and the
charger.
2. Keep the charger away from water and dust.
3. The charger should remain uncovered and properly ventilated while in use.
4. Use the RCS-3U charger only with the batteries for which it was intended. If you have any questions about the
batteries with which the RCS-3U should be used, contact Ocean Technology Systems.
