This charger is a fast charger for NiCd/NiMH
batteries. The standard version utilizes a method
called -dV detection for charge termination when
the batteries are fully charged. This method is
based on the fact that the voltage drops over
the NiCd/NiMH cells when the batteries are fully
charged. This voltage drop is detected when the
voltage has dropped a certain percentage from
the highest value. lf this drop does not occur, the
charger has a safety timer which will terminate
charging after a given time period to avoid
overcharging the batteries.
A few cells may have a voltage drop in the first
part of the charge cycle. This is especially true
for battery cells which have been idle for a longer
period of time. Because of this, a timer is built into
the charger which prevents -dV detection the first
minutes of the charge cycle.
As the charger is programmable, it is possible that
the standard parameters, which this user manual
is based on, have been changed. See separate
user manual or contact supplier for additional
information.
Instructions for charging NiCd and NiMH batteries
Charger functionality
ENEN
• NiCd/NiMH chargers are designed for charging
NiCd and NiMH batteries only.
• Make sure you have the correct battery charger
for the battery you wish to charge. The number
of cells must correspond to the output indicated
on the charger. Never charge more battery
cells than the charger is made for.
• When charging separate battery cells, avoid
charging cells with different rest capacities at
the same time.
• Do not attempt to charge batteries that are not
rechargeable.
• Please check that the specification for your
battery allows for the maximum charge current
indicated on the charger. If in doubt, contact the
battery manufacturer for details.
• Please check that the specification for your
battery allows for the environmental conditions
present during charging.
Do not charge batteries at too high or too
low temperatures.
• Please ensure correct polarity when connecting
to the battery terminals. Reverse polarity conne-
ction may, in some chargers (see the charger’s
specification), result in a fuse rupturing, leaving
the charger useless.
• The charge cycle starts when the charger is
connected to the mains.
• If the charger is disconnected from the mains
voltage during a charge cycle the charger will
start a new charge cycle when it is reconnected
to the mains.
• When charging is complete, disconnect the
charger from the mains before removing battery
connections.
Cautions before charging NiCd
and NiMH batteries

• The -dV level will adapt to the number of cells
and will be approximately equally sensitive for
all number of cells.
• The safety timer will protect the batteries if a
-dV signal fails to appear during charging. It is
normal to have a safety timer that is longer than
the max. charge time.
• Some battery cells may give a voltage drop
during the initial part of the charge cycle. To
avoid interruption of the charge cycle the char-
ger has a timer that prevents -dV detection
during the first minutes of the charge cycle.
• The charger is programmed to disregard large
voltage fluctuations due to connection of exter-
nal loads etc. Such false -dV signals will be de-
tected by the software and will be disregarded.
• Top-off charge following –dV detection ensures
that all cells in a battery pack reaches full capa-
city (are balanced) prior to trickle charge.
• The charger output is protected against reverse
polarity, in most cases by an automatically re-
settable fuse.
• The charger is designed for the lowest possible
leakage current from the battery when mains is
disconnected (<1mA). Even so, it is recommen-
ded that the batteries are disconnected from the
charger when mains is not connected.
• On request the charger may be supplied with
battery temperature monitoring. A built-in tem-
perature change control (+dT/dt) secures opti-
mal charge with a built-in NTC resistor in the
battery pack.
• Other functions such as 0dV detection and
timer only charge is available upon request.
Most charge parameters may be altered using
an external programming tool. Contact Mascot
for details.

Start the charger by connecting the battery pack
to the charger and then connecting the charger
to the mains.
The LED (light emitting diode) will be yellow be-
fore the fast charge starts and the LED changes
to orange. When the batteries are fully charged
and the voltage drops because of the -dV signal
from the batteries, the charger will go into a top-off
charge mode before it goes over to trickle charge
mode. During top-off charge the LED will be gre-
en with a short intermittent yellow light. When the
top-off charge is completed, the charger will go
into trickle charge mode and the LED will be green.
The charge current is now reduced to a safe level,
which allows the charger to stay connected to the
battery without damaging the cells.
If the safety timer runs out before –dV is detected,
the charger will go directly to trickle charge mode
(no top-off charge) and LED will be continuously
green. lf the battery voltage is far below normal,
the charger will stop the fast charge current and
go to trickle charge mode. The LED will then indi-
cate ”error” by flickering green and orange light.
You may manually start a new charge cycle by
disconnecting mains input and connecting it again.
To charge another/next battery pack, first pack
must be disconnected for approx. 15 sec. When
LED is yellow, you may connect the next battery.

Temperature control (optional feature)
lf the charger is used with a temperature sensor
(NTC-resistor in the battery) it is possible to
add temperature control to the battery charging
process. lf the battery temperature is too low (<
0°C) at the start of the charge cycle, the charger
will charge with low current until the temperature
level is safe. This is indicated by an intermittent
orange flash while the LED is green. Charger will
also enter low current wait mode if battery tempe-
rature is above 40 °C. The current will then remain
low until the temperature is at a level where fast
charge can start. If battery temperature exceeds
max. charge temp. (60 °C) charger enters error
mode. The LED will show ”error” by intermittently
flashing orange and green. By using the tempe-
rature increase control (+dT/dt), the charger will
switch to top-off charge and later to trickle charge
the same way as charging with -dV control.
NOTE. The charger may be programmed for other temperature parameters. See a separate user manual
or contact supplier for additional information.
Zero dV feature (optional feature)
lf zero dV has been activated, the charger will stop the fast charge when the voltage has not increased
the last 5 minutes. This feature may be the only sensor, or it may be used in combination with -dV and/
or +dT/dt

lf a battery is connected, the actual charging will
start a few seconds later when the LED changes
to orange. After the start-timer period has run out
(the first few minutes of the charge cycle when the
–dV detection is disabled), the LED will be green
for approx. 8 seconds. This is a signal for testing
and service only.When -dV has been detected, the
start of the top-off charge is indicated with a green
LED with intermittent yellow flashes. The LED is
green during trickle charge.

Start the charger by connecting the battery pack to
the charger and the charger to the mains.
The LED indicator will be flashing green if no bat-
tery is connected. When the battery is connected
to the output of the charger the LED will be yellow
and remain in this state until battery is fully char-
ged, and fast charge is terminated. Charger apply
low current soft start on deeply discharged bat-
teries. If voltage does not reach normal level wit-
hin a certain time, charger will enter error mode,
shown by 4 red flashes in the LED.
When –dV, +dT/dt or other EoC method is detec-
ted, the charger enters top-off mode. This is con-
trolled overcharge to make sure all cells are fully
charged. LED indication is flashing yellow.
After top-off period is ended the LED indicator will
change to green showing that battery is fully char-
ged. The charge current is now reduced to a safe
level, which allows the charger to stay connected
to the battery without damaging the cells. Several
options for trickle charge are available.
If the safety timer run out before -dV (or +dT/dt)
is detected, the charger will go directly to trickle
charge mode (no top-off charge) and LED will be
green.
You may manually start a new charge cycle by
disconnecting mains input and connecting it again.

Temperature control (optional feature)
lf the charger is used with a temperature sensor
(NTC-resistor in the battery) it is possible to add
temperature control to the battery charging
process. lf the battery temperature is too low (<
0°C) at the start of the charge cycle, the charger
will enter no current wait mode until the tempe-
rature level is safe. This is indicated by yellow
LED with 1 red blink. Charger will also enter wait
mode if battery temperature is above 40 °C, and
this is indicated by yellow LED with 2 red blinks.
The charger will be in no current wait mode until
the temperature is at a level where the charging
can start. lf the temperature is too high for safe
charging (> 60°C), the LED will show ”error” by 5
red blinks. When using the temperature increase
control (+dT/dt), the charger will switch to top-off
charge and later to trickle charge the same way as
charging with -dV control.
NOTE. The charger may be configured for other temperature parameters
or contact supplier for additional information.
Zero dV feature (optional feature)
lf zero dV has been activated, the charger will stop the fast charge when the voltage has not increased
during specified time. You may use 0dV alone or in combination with -dV and/ or +dT/dt. This function is
normally only used in special cases.
