INTRODUCTION

The Aspekt NEXUS phantom battery system from Anton/Bauer is a

component in the next generation of the popular NP battery systems. The

NEXUS battery, NEXUS Phantom battery, NEXUS mounting system, and

NEXUS charging systems have been designed to upgrade the NP battery

format into a battery format that is electrically and mechanically superior

and in step with the advancements made to professional video cameras.

The NEXUS phantom battery system will automatically identify itself to

any NEXUS primary battery that the phantom battery is supporting. This

identification will activate specialized charge routines and monitoring

necessary to effectively utilize this new technology.

FEATURES

1. Phantom mount Status Indicator – The Phantom mount

communicates with the attached NEXUS battery. The LED

indicates the status of the Phantom battery.

2. Intelligent Un-interruptible Communication- The NEXUS

Phantom Power system will provide seamless transitions from main

power to back-up power.

3. Over-Current Surge protection- The NEXUS Phantom battery will

assist in meeting power demands if a surge current is detected. The

surge current can be detected from a high surge from the camera or

high surge from the external power-tap.

4. NEXUS Phantom battery charging- The NEXUS Phantom battery

will be recharged to full capacity when a NEXUS series battery is

replaced. The NEXUS Phantom battery can also be charged on

NEXUS-2 or NEXUS-4 chargers.
