low (drops to a battery voltage of 27.5 V).
In this event, recharge the battery immediately.
2. There are cases in which output is halted if an excessive
load is applied to the Back Pack Power Supply. In this
event, switch off the power and resolve the problem of
the excessive load.
3. There are cases in which output is halted if the Back
Pack Power Supply overheats. In this event, cease use
and place in a well-ventilated location away from direct
sunlight until it has cooled down suffi ciently. Operations
may be resumed after it has cooled down.
Also observe the following precautions.
