APPLICATIONS

TheTandem®150willchargeanyAnton/BauerLogicSeries®Gold

Mount®batteryincludingmodel:ProPac®,TrimPac®,DigitalProPac®,

DigitalTrimPac®,HyTRON

™

,andDIONIC

series.

NOTE: Anton/Bauer always recommends that each battery has its

own charge position. A battery can remain on an Anton/

Bauer charger indenitely.

TheTandem®150incorporatestheexclusiveInterActivecommunication

betweenbatteryandcharger,whichallowsthechargertoidentifyany

Anton/Bauerbatteryattachedanddeterminetheprecisechargeroutine

forthatbatteryundertheprevailingconditions.

NOTE: Due to the specialized communications between the

charger and the battery, batteries without the Logic Series

construction and communication capability (manufactured

by Anton/Bauer before 1989 as well as so-called “rebuilds”)

can not be charged with this charger. The InterActive®

communication of Logic Series

batteries is the key which

allows the Tandem® 50 to safely identify and address new

style and chemistry batteries as they are developed. More-

over, this communication ensures that batteries contain the

quality cells, workmanship and safety of genuine Anton/

Bauer products. If a non-Logic Series

battery is placed

on the charger, the red and green LED indicators will ash

alternately. This indication means that the battery can-

not communicate its identity to the Tandem®150 and is

not charging. After 30 seconds of ashing green and red

LED’s, the red LED will remain on, indicating a HOLD state.

WARNING: USE OF THIS CHARGER WITH ANY BATTERY NOT

MANUFACTURED BY ANTON/BAUER MAY RESULT

IN BATTERY DAMAGE AND CAUSE RISK OF FIRE OR

PERSONAL INJURY.
