Eclair ACL II Guia De Utilização

The low torque ot the camera and the

high efficiency output of the motor have
allowed the construction of a low power
battery (1,2 amp-hour) which at 20°C (68°F)
provides power for ten 60 m (200 ft) maga-
zines i.e. for about 600 meter of film. This
battery (37) weighs less than 1-4 lbs (640
grammes). It is a Saft type VIR 1.2 ten cell
cadmium-nickel which is enclosed in a poly-
urethane case (48) fig. AB.

The battery is equipped with a textile

shoulder strap although its small size will
allow it to be slipped into a coat or trousers
pocket.

The connections with the camera and

the pilotone-module can be made from either
of the Jaeger 4 pin-sockets (49). The central
Socapex socket (50) is provided for the rapid
charger.

CABLE. The same type of cable

(MIBLE) is required for connecting the cam-
era, the battery and the pilotone-module. It is
fitted with two Jaeger plugs ref : No 530800.

Our V.R. mini-cell battery has been

conceived for a recharge in less than 30
minutes by means of our MIRAP charger
connected to the mains between 115 and 220
volts A.C.

The MK2 charger specially made for our

MIBAC battery is automatic and very simple to
use.

It ensures a charge feed regulation of

± 20 % for a variation of the main supply tension
of ± 10 %. It stops the high speed automatically
as soon as the battery has attained a tension
which is related to the charge rate and the
temperature of the battery.

The cut-off precision is approximately 1

Immediately after the high speed charge has
been cut-off, the charger switches automatically
to the low charge rate.

The thermostatic protection is ensured

by a thermal limiting device which cuts off the
charge if the battery temperature becomes
abnormaly high e.g. because of irregularity in
the cut off safety circuit
