Where the battery is charge at a re ucing current when the constant voltage
threshol is met. Parameters for this mo e are maximum charge time, optional
minimum current to stop charge an a current threshol , which can etect a
potentially faulty battery.
CONSTANT CURRENT CHARGE WITH TOP UP CHARGE
Where battery is charge at a constant current until a terminal voltage is met, at
this point it can be charge for an a itional time at a user set current. The
overcharge voltage is set in this mo e to prevent overcharging of the battery.
MULTIPLE STEP CONSTANT CURRENT CHARGE
Up to 4 constant current steps can be implemente for the charge cycle. this
mo e also has an overcharge voltage setting to prevent overcharging of the
battery. Charge current can be set to zero for “rest” perio s between charge
steps.
CONSTANT CURRENT USING CELL MONITOR
In this mo e the battery will be charge at constant current with the charge
switching to the top up charge (if require ) when all the cells reach the target
voltage specifie .
2.1.2 Capacity Testing Modes
CAPACITY TEST TO 100 PERCENT
This mo e will ischarge the battery connecte at the current specifie for the
test uration specifie thus reporting the battery capacity is 100% or more. The
capacity test will be stoppe if the target voltage is reache before the full test
time has elapse . During the capacity test an when it is terminate the isplay
will show the amount the capacity test is complete as a percentage.
CAPACITY TEST TO TARGET VOLTAGE
This mo e will ischarge the battery own to the terminal voltage specifie thus
reporting the actual percentage capacity. The capacity test will be stoppe if the
target threshol voltage is reache before the full test time has elapse . During
the capacity test an when it is terminate the isplay will show the amount the
capacity test is complete as a percentage.
CAPACITY TEST WITH CELL MONITOR
This mo e will ischarge the battery connecte at the current specifie for the
test uration specifie thus reporting the battery capacity is 100% or more. The
capacity test will be stoppe if any cell reache the cell target voltage before the
full test time has elapse . During the capacity test an when it is terminate the
isplay will show the amount the capacity test is complete as a percentage.
AUTOMATIC CELL BALANCE
This mo e is esigne to ischarge the battery own to zero volts, where when
any cell reache zero volts a balancing resistor will automatically be place
across it. When the battery total voltage reache near zero all the remaining
balancing resistors will be applie .

3 Cell Monitor Interface
3.1 General
The IC48V battery charger analysers have built in support for the cell-monitoring
interface.
This allows the monitoring of NiC batteries of up to 20 cells. Contact us if cell
monitoring is require above 20 cells.
With the cell-monitoring interface connecte two a itional capacity test options
become available an one a itional charge option.
When the cell monitor is in use two a itional isplays can be selecte by pressing ‘B’
or ‘C’ keys on the keypa while the unit is running. Pressing ‘A’ key will return the
isplay back to the efault isplay.
‘A’ Default isplay.
This is the conventional isplay which all mo es of operation use.
‘B’ A textual list of cell voltages
This isplay will show all 20 cell voltages being measure as a simple list.
‘C’ A graphical bar graph.
This isplay will, show all 20 cell voltages being measure a graphical bar graph,
which will show the inter-relationship between each cell. Also isplaye is a line
representing the target voltage. The battery voltage an charge of capacity test
current highest cell voltage, lowest cell voltage an the "cell focus" voltage are
shown in text format. By using the left an right arrow keys on the keypa a
highlight marker can be move across each cell so that if one particular cell
voltage nee s to be monitore it will be isplaye by the right of the bar graph.
By pressing "0" an either "" or "" keys simultaneously will cause the 1.0V
isplay win ow to be shifte up or own the 2.0V range.
The cell monitor is supplie as an interface unit with 21 patch lea connection for
connecting to batteries via in ivi ual clamps. It has a connector fitte to it where
“crown” assembly can be plugge in. The “crown” arrangement is place onto the top
of the battery with contact to the cells ma e via stainless test pins. The “crown”
arrangement is manufacture to suite one style of battery. If many ifferent styles of
batteries are in use a “crown” will be require for each battery.
3.2 Charging With The Cell Monitor
3.2.1 Constant current charge.
In the constant current charge mo e using the cell monitor interface the charge will
take place at the pre efine constant current until all the cells have reache the target
set point typically 1.55V. At which time the charge rate will change to the a itional
time rate an the charge will continue until the a itional time has elapse . If at any
time uring the charge any cell voltage excee s the cell overcharge voltage typically
1.65V the charge will stop. If a printer is connecte to the unit the cell voltages can be

Operator Manual
printe at pre efine time intervals or can be printe by simply pressing the ‘.’ key. If
a printe report is require at the en of the charge, the final cell voltages will be
inclu e .
3.3 Discharging With The Cell Monitor
3.3.1 Capacity Testing To Target Or Time
This capacity test mo e allows you to ischarge the battery at the require current for
your pre-selecte time until one cell goes below a pre efine target voltage typically
1.00V at which point the ischarge stops an the battery capacity can be seen. If a
printer is connecte to the unit the cell voltages can be printe at pre efine time
intervals or can be printe by simply pressing the ‘.’ key. If a printe report is require
at the en of the capacity test the final cell voltages will be inclu e .
3.3.2 Automatic Cell Balance
This mo e allows you to set a pre efine ischarge current to flatten the battery an to
perform an automatic cell balancing exercise. While uring the ischarge any cell
approaches 0.00V its balancing resistor will be switche in to re uce the reverse charge
effect. When the battery voltage falls below 3.0V an the ischarge current falls below
2.0A the cell-monitoring interface will automatically switch in all the balancing resistors
an will remain it that state until either the CLR key is presse or the Discharge Time
elapses.
3.4 Monitor Only Mode
A mo e of operation is available where the cell monitor interface can be scanne while
the unit is i le. This is obtaine through the SYSTEM menu. While in this mo e the ‘B’
& ‘C’ keys will isplay the textual cell voltages or the bar graph respectively. While this
mo e is active an the printer is installe a snapshot of the cell voltages can be printe
by pressing the ‘.’ key. When accessing the monitor mo e the option of applying the
cell balancing resistors is available, so manual cell balancing can be applie .
3.5 Normal Charge or Capacity Test Mode
When activating the normal charge an capacity test mo es if the unit etects that the
cell monitor is connecte it will ask the operator if cell monitoring is require uring the
operation. If this is selecte the cell monitor will scan the cells an report the voltages
but will take no actions on in ivi ual cell voltages etc.
3.6 Cell Monitor Extended Display Reference
When performing a charge or capacity test the isplay will always efault to showing
the main process con itions, but when the cell monitor is in use there are two
a itional isplays which give the operator a list of cell voltages at the instant in time or
a graphical bar isplay of the cell voltages. The alternative isplays are viewe by
pressing either of the ‘A’, ‘B’ or ‘C’ keys on the keypa .

Operator Manual
The ‘A’ key changes the isplay to the main process con itions as shown:
The ‘B’ key changes the isplay to the full 20-cell voltage list as shown:
The ‘C’ key changes the isplay to a bar graph of cell voltages as shown:
While the graphical isplay is viewe the range of the isplay can be ynamically
change from the efault 0.8 to 1.8V to a bottom limit of 0.0V to 1.0V or an upper limit
of 1.0 to 2.0V by pressing an hol ing the "0" key an pressing the "" or ""
respectively. Each step is an increment or ecrement of 0.1V.
3.7 Printing Data When Using The Cell Monitor
If the printer is fitte to the charger analyser an the cell monitor is in use there are
a itional printing facilities available. When performing a charge or capacity test the cell
voltages can be printe manually at a time to suit you by simply pressing the ‘.’ key or
a print interval can be specifie in minutes. When the cell monitor is in use the full list
of cell voltages will also be inclu e in the final print at the en of the operation. The
cell monitor printout is a similar format to the figure below:

3.8 Cell Number Reversal
The cell monitor accessory is marke with cell numbers starting with #1 through to #20
(The maximum number of calls that can be monitore ). Cell #1 is consi ere to be the
cell which is connecte to the negative (-ve) cell en of the battery whereas cell #20
(in a 20 cell battery) is consi ere to be the cell which is connecte to the positive
(+ve) en of the battery.
Many battery manufacturers use the reverse cell numbering where cell #1 is the
positive (+ve) en of the battery an in the case of a 20 cell battery the #20 cell is the
negative.
Because of this numbering technique the battery charger has an option in the cell,
monitor settings to “reverse” the cell numbering for isplay an printing purposes. The
cell isplays show which is +ve en of the battery an which is the negative so that if
the cell numbering is reverse it is shown which way roun the numbering takes.
