This indicates the XT Series Wireless Charger is powered on and ready for use.
4.2 PERMANENT HARD-MOUNT IN VEHICLE/APPARATUS
To install the XT Series Wireless Charger in a vehicle, select a convenient location , leaving sufficient clearance above and in front of the charger for removal and reseating of the thermal imager. It is suggested to leave sufficient clearance below the charger as well. Before installation, the vehicle should be turned off. For safety measure, disconnect the DC battery prior to installation. During installation connect the red wire to the positive terminal and the black wire to the negative terminal of the DC battery. A mounting template is included with the charger as a reference for clearance requirements and mounting hole spacing. Mount the charger using the included (4) 5/16″ selftapping hex screws. No drill holes are required because of this type of screw
WARNING

5. USAGE
WARNING
Only use the XT Series Wireless Charger to wirelessly charge Bullard XT Series Thermal Imagers. Failure to follow this instruction and warning can damage the product, render it unsafe for use, and voids the Bullard warranty. Death or serious injury can result.
When power is first applied to the XT Series Wireless Charger, (via either hardwiring to a vehicle or using the optional AC power adapter) all three charger lights will briefly illuminate as a bulb check cycle, after which the WHITE LIGHT will remain illuminated. This indicates the charger is powered on and ready for use. To charge your XT Series Thermal Imager place the imager into the charger with the display side up and the bottom of the imager facing the long side of the charger. Ensure that the four pins of the Interface Ring align with the four holes on the bottom side of the thermal imager. When seated correctly, the release button will pop up and lock, and a BLUE LIGHT will illuminate on the right side of the charger. This indicates a connection with the imager. If there is a problem with the charger or the connection with the imager, the charger will illuminate an AMBER LIGHT, located beneath the BLUE LIGHT. In this event, remove and attempt to re-seat the imager. See Figure 3 and Table 1 on the following page.

When the connection has been verified and the battery is charging, the imager’s power button will pulse GREEN (for newer models) or RED (for older models). When fully charged, the power button will illuminate steady GREEN.
If the power button does not illuminate with a pulsing GREEN, but instead a pulsing ORANGE, remove and re-seat the imager.
If the power button does not illuminate with a pulsing GREEN, but instead a flashing that alternates between ORANGE and RED (for newer models), the imager temperature is outside of the charging temperature range. Take the imager off the charger and let it cool at an ambient temperature and then place it back on the charger.

8. TROUBLESHOOTING
If the XT Series Wireless Charger is correctly wired to a vehicle but the WHITE LIGHT is not illuminated, it is possible that the fuse has blown. Bullard recommends disconnecting power to your XT Series Wireless Charger before inspecting and replacing the fuse. Locate and open the fuse holder which is on the red wire near the unit to inspect the fuse. If the fuse has blown, it can be replaced with a 5x15mm or 5x20mm 5-Ampere glass fuse, commonly available at most automotive parts suppliers. If the fuse blows repeatedly, even after replacement, this indicates a fault with either the vehicle or the charger. In this event, immediately contact a qualified vehicle technician or Bullard’s Customer Service.
WARNING
Only replace the fuse with an equivalent 5-Ampere fuse. NEVER replace this fuse or any fuse with one of a higher current rating than designed. Failure to follow all instructions and warnings could damage the product and render it unsafe for use. Death or serious injury could occur.
