To put your
2-Way Injector
or
2-Way Injector+
into Refresh Mode, first attach the Injector to
your Scanner with a RJ-45 or 36-pin cable, whichever is appropriate for your equipment (you may
need to use an adapter if your units have different connector types). Attach the Scanner to the PC
with a DB 9 serial cable. Attach AC Adapters to both the Injector and the Scanner, and power
both units on. At the PC’s DOS prompt, type:
PENTA -2REFRESH -C1 (for COM1, or -C2 for COM2) and press Enter. The Injector is now in
discharge mode, indicated by the alternate flashing of the Pass and Fail LED indicators. When the
battery has discharged, the Injector will switch to recharge mode (indicated by the Charging light).
To refresh the Scanner and the Injector batteries at the same time, follow the instructions above for
connecting the Injector to the Scanner, and the Scanner to the PC. Attach AC Adapters to both
the Injector and the Scanner, and power both units on. Put the Injector into refresh mode first, by
typing:
PENTA -2REFRESH -C1 (for COM1, or -C2 for COM2) and press Enter.
Now, put the Scanner into refresh mode by typing:
PENTA -REFRESH -C1 (for COM1, or -C2 for COM2) and press Enter.
Both units will discharge and recharge as described above.
Once the units are in Refresh Mode, you can disconnect the DB-9 serial cable. Keep the units
plugged in to the AC adapters. The units will discharge and recharge in approximately 15-20
hours. For best results, do not remove the AC adapter until the battery is fully charged. On the
PentaScanner
+, the battery is fully charged when the “Charging Battery” message is no longer
displayed on the screen. On the
2-Way Injector+/2-Way Injector
, the battery is fully charged
when the Charging Indicator LED is flashing.
Super Injector+/Super Injector Battery
The
Super Injector+
and
Super Injector
are powered by three AA alkaline batteries. (Be sure to
use only AA alkaline batteries in the Injector. Other battery types are not supported.) To remove
the batteries, move the battery door latch forward and remove the battery door.
The Injector battery life varies depending on usage and battery quality. On average, the batteries
will withstand testing of more than 500 cables. Low battery detection is reported in several ways:
• The Injector Status Indicator blinks slowly (approximately once per second) instead of normal
rapid blinking.
• Press the Extended Functions key and select Injector Info to display the battery status.
• The Scanner checks the Injector batteries before running selected tests and before calibrating
the Injector, and displays a warning message if the Injector batteries are low.
