AMX NXT-CHG is a two bay, stand-alone battery charger that is compliant with the Smart Battery System. This tabletop unit can be used to recharge up to two NXT-BP batteries. The NXT-CHG Slot 1 has the feature of being able to completely discharge and recharge (Recalibrate) a battery. The recalibration process increases the accuracy of the battery charge level. A microprocessor controls all functions of the charger so that sequencing and adjustment of charge parameters occur automatically without user intervention.

Possible use cases:

Charge up to two NXT-BP batteries simultaneously
Recalibrate batteries to increase the accuracy of the battery charge level

Possible use cases:

Overview of the NXT-BP and NXT-CHG

The NXT-BP is a rechargeable Lithium-Ion "smart" battery used with the

Modero NXA-BASE/B Battery Base. This battery provides the user with an

on-board battery life indicator (FIG. 3).

The NXT-CHG Modero Power Station is a two bay, stand-alone battery

charger that is compliant with the Smart Battery System. This tabletop unit

can be used to recharge up to two NXT-BP batteries. The batteries are

charged in the order they are inserted into the NXT-CHG.

The NXT-CHG Slot 1 has the feature of being able to completely discharge

and recharge (Recalibrate) a battery. Refer to FIG. 2 for more information.

Specifications

Powering the NXT-CHG

The NXT-CHG uses an included power supply to provide power for charging

the batteries.

1. Connect the terminal end of the included power supply to the rear of

the NXT-CHG Charger.

2. Provide power to the unit by connecting the other end (plug) into a

power socket that meets the requirements outlined in the

Specifications section for the NXT-CHG.

Reading NXT-CHG LED Indicator

FIG. 2 shows the front connectors on the NXT-CHG Modero Power Station.

There is one LED indicator in front of each bay (FIG. 2) that conveys the

status of that bay as follows:

• Off: No battery detected

• Green Flashing: Fast charging

• Green Solid: Fully charged

• Yellow Flashing: Recalibration in process

• Yellow/Green: Recalibration complete

• Yellow Solid: Standby (waiting for other battery to charge)

• Red Flash: Error (problem with either the battery connection to the

internal slot or the battery itself)

Checking the NXT-BP Charge

1. Press the Battery Life Indicator button (FIG. 3) once to illuminate the

Battery Life LEDs and display the percent charge remaining on the

battery.

2. Repeat these steps for the remaining NXT-BP battery.

3. Charge the batteries by inserting them within the battery charger.

Refer to the following section for more detailed information on this

process.

AT T E N T I O N !

If the 25% LED indicator is blinking, this indicates there is less than 5% of a

charge remaining on the battery.

Charging an NXT-BP using the NXT-CHG

1. Provide power to the charger.

2. Align the Battery connector with the corresponding charge slot within

each of the two NXT-CHG slots (FIG. 4).

3. Firmly insert the battery into the desired slot until the battery is both

securely located within the slot and there is activity from the

corresponding Slot LED. Refer to the previous section for LED

information.

Using the NXT-CHG Recalibration Pushbutton

The recalibration process increases the accuracy of the battery charge

level.

A microprocessor controls all functions of the charger so that sequencing

and adjustment of charge parameters occur automatically without user

intervention.

1. Place the battery (selected for recalibration) securely into Slot 1

(left slot) until there is activity from the corresponding LED.

2. Push the button located between the two bays to initiate recalibration

in the left bay only.

ATTENTION!

Recalibration of the batteries is only done upon request from the Modero

on-screen Battery Base page.
