See the separate quick instructions sheet for info on how to connect the
charger and battery.
1. Battery and Charger connection
The first time you start the charger, a setup assistant will help you setup your
charger. You can restart the assistant from the advanced setup screen.
You need to setup the proper parameters so that the charger can safely charge
your battery. Setup the charge parameters following the battery manufacturer
recommendations.
Once you have setup the proper parameters, you can charge your battery.
Make sure that the battery is properly connected to the charger, charge leads
and balancing connector (if available) and that the parameters are compatible
with your battery.
Make sure that the battery is properly connected to the charger, charge leads
and balancing connector (if available) and that the parameters are compatible
with your battery.
Press and hold the charge button, the battery check screen will be displayed. Press and hold the discharge button, the battery check screen will be displayed.
2. Charger Assistant
Buttons which are grayed out indicate that the particular function cannot be
used with the charger’s current setup.
4. Active and inactive Buttons
The buttons at the top of the screen indicate the current settings. Press each
button to setup the particular parameter. You need to adjust the parameters
according to your battery.
S1 Battery type NiMH, NiCd, LiPo, LiFe, LiIon or Pb
S2 Number of cells composing the battery, from 1 to 16
(1 to 6 for LiPo, LiFe, LiIon)
S3 Battery nominal capacity (setup by the user)
S4 Charge current (setup by user, actual value will be indicated during function)
S5 Discharge current (setup by user, actual value will be indicated
during function)

Make sure that the battery is properly connected to the charger, charge leads
and balancing connector (if available) and that the parameters are compatible
with your battery.
Make sure that the battery is properly connected to the charger, charge
leads and balancing connector and that the parameters are compatible with
your battery. Make sure that the battery is properly connected to the charger, charge leads and
balancing connector (if available) and that the parameters are compatible with
your battery.
Press the view data
button to display the
final data from the last
function which has
been used.
When a LiPo, LiFe or
LiIon battery is
connected and while it
is charging or dischar-
ging, you can press the
balancing status
button to display the
current balance status
of the battery.
While the battery is
charging or dischar-
ging, you can press the
graphic button to
display a graphic
showing the voltage
curve of the battery
since the function was
started.
We recommend always
using the BALANCING
function for LiPo, LiFe
and LiIon batteries, the
balancing connector
must be connected if
balancing is on.
(!) Safety during char-
ging is diminished if
balancing is disabled.
Do not let batteries
connected to the
charger for extended
period of time if TRICKLE
CHARGE is enabled.
The SAFETY TIMER
works for all functions
of the charger.
Battery cycling will make charge/discharge cycles to your battery; this is useful
to restore its performance after long periods of storage for example. The cycling
function uses the same parameters as those that have been setup for charge or
discharge.
This function is meant for LiPo, LiFe or LiIon batteries. You can use this function
to check the current charge status of your batteries. If the battery is unbalanced
(uneven voltage between the cells) the charger will equalize the cell’s voltage.
This function will charge or discharge the battery to an optimal level to limit
potential damage to the battery due to storage. With LiPo/LiFe/LiIon batteries the
charger will either charge or discharge the battery so they reach the optimal
level. With NiMH/NiCd the charger will first discharge the battery and then
recharge it to 50% of the user adjusted capacity. The storage function uses the
same parameters as those that have been setup for charge or discharge.
After pressing and holding the cycle button and if no problems are detected a
new screen will be displayed where you can choose the number of cycle and
what type of cycle you want to make.
If no problems are detected, the status screen will appear, indicating the current
status of the battery.
If no problems are detected, the storage function will start. Discharge and then
charge mode for NiMH/NiCd . Charge or discharge mode for LiPo/LiFe/LiIon
depending on their charge level.
Press the charge-discharge, discharge-charge or discharge-charge-discharge
button to start the cycling.
If your battery is unbalanced you can start the balancing process by pressing
the start button.
Press and hold the balance button, the battery check screen will be displayed.
Press and hold the storage button, the battery check screen will be displayed.
The following screen gives you access to advanced parameters, only modify
these settings if you understand their purpose and implications.
Once the cycling is completed, the final discharge data will be displayed. Once the balance is completed, the final data will be displayed. Once the storage function is completed, the final data will be displayed.
The status screen will appear, indicating the current status of the battery.
