OVERVIEW
The
Victor
SUPER 2
-IQ TM
is a very
powerful
computer
based
battery
analyzer. The
algorithm
for the
functions was
developed
in cooperation
with a leading
manufacturer of
rechargeable
batteries
and
follow
ANSI-Cl
8-2
convention
for
measurement of
rechargeable
battery
parameters. The discharge
functions
may
also be programmed for
measuring the
discharge
characteristics
of primary
batteries.
The
Victor SUPER'-IQ TM
has been designed to provide
all
of
the
popular - charge
and discharge
regimes
used in
the testing and
qualification of
rechargeable
batteries.
Nickel
-Cadmium,
Nickel Metal
Hydride,
Lithium Ion, Rechargeable Alkaline and Sealed
Lead
batteries
can
be accommodated. Victor
Engineering
has
included LIN-R-FLEX TM
charge capability
for
investigating the
effect of the
controversial "burp"
charge
regime. While
few battery
manufactures
support
the
claims made
for
this technique
and there
is
little
documented test
data there are
a
number of charger and
conditioner
manufacturers
that
subscribe
to
the
theory.
LIN-R-FLEX TM
charge employs periodic high
rate
discharge
pulses during
the linear
charge
which,
according
to
the theory espoused by its
proponents,
releases gas
pressure
built
up during rapid
charging. The
technique
is also
claimed to erase or
prevent
"memory" effect which is
felt by some
to be
the most
common
cause of Ni-Cd
battery deterioration
caused by
incomplete discharge.
Victor
Engineering
by
their
inclusion of this regime does not imply support
or denial of
the
merits
of
the "burp"
charge
technique.
The
system
is controlled through a
series of
easy to
use and understand menus.
Each
.menu
contains
choices
(prompts) for
the functions
to be performed. You
respond
to these
prompts
by
pressing
numbers
on
the
keypad. For example, the first
screen of
the
MAIN
MENU
is displayed below.
It
offers
you three
choices, either
BASIC
FUNCTION, COMPOSED
FUNCTION
or UTILITIES.
BASIC
FUNCT. =1
COMPOSED
FUNCT = 2
UTILITIES = 3
Main
menu -
2 screens
The
next
menu will then display
more
choices or
parameters for the function
selected. The
SUPER2-TQTM
will
display
the
various parameters for each
function. You
may
select the
default values
of
the
parameters
for each
function
selected, or
create
different
values. For example, if a charge
function
is
picked,
the
SUPER' -
-IQ TM
will
ask for the number of
cells being
charged and the
charge rate
as
well
as
the
charge
technique.
You may
charge from 1 to
l2~`
Ni-Cd
or
Ni-MH cells or
6 sealed lead acid
cells. A
complete
flow
chart
for the
displays and
functions are
found in
the appendix.
The
SUPER 2 -IQ TM

complex
charge/discharge schemes may be
implemented
by employing
the COMPOSED FUNCTION option.
The
COMPOSED FUNCTION
option
is also
used
for
cycling or
grading operations.
Although the MENU structure is extremely user friendly,
making
it
possible
to start
using the
SUPER 2 -
IQ TM
immediately, PLEASE
take
the time to read the rest of this
manual. Knowing
how
the
SUPER 2 -
IQ TM
functions will help you
to use the unit to
its
maximum
capability. Please
note
that is
assumed that
the user has
some
knowledge of
the
differences
between
various types of
batteries,
their
appropriate
charging regimes and
voltage/current
limits.
If there are
questions regarding specific
batteries
the user
should
consult the battery manufacturer.

KEYPAD
FUNCTIONS
The
SUPER 2 -IQ TM
uses a
telephone style
keypad. The
keypad has
10 number
(0
through 0)
and
the "*"
and "#"
keys. This
keypad
controls the
SUPER'-IQ TM . Each key pressed will
he
acknowledge by
a
short
beep.
Some
keys or
combinations of keys
have special
meanings besides the
numerical
value
used
for
entry.
These
keys and key
combinations are shown on
the unit's FACE PANEL,
just
to
the
right
of
the
KEYPAD.
THE
"0"
KEY
The "0" key
has several
functions.
Primarily it turns the unit
on (when the
power
source
is
connected and turned on).
If the
"0" key is pressed
when a
function is in
progress
(charging
or
2

discharging)
the
"ABORT"
menu
will be
displayed.
This
menu
will
vary
depending on the
function
interrupted.
It
will
give
the
option
of
aborting
or
continuing
the
function
in
process.
If
while
entering
parameters
to a
function
you
decide
you no
longer
want to perform that
function, pressing
the "0" key
on any
"1 =
OK 2 =
CHANGE"
screen
will
stop
the entry
routine
and return you
to the
main
menu.
The "0"
key
is used to
enter
numeric
parameters. Be careful
when
entering
data.
Pressing one too
many zeros
will abort
the
function
entry process and return you to the main
menu. You DO
NOT
have to turn
the
unit
off
and
on
again.
Repeat pushing the
"0"
key and you
will
be returned to
the
MAIN MENU.
The unit
can
always
be
reset by simply depressing the "*"

simultaneously
and
then pressing
the
"0"
key to
restart.
THE "*"
AND "#"
KEYS
Pressing the "*"
and "#" keys
simultaneously,
turns
the
unit off.
THE "5"
KEY
When charging or discharging,
you
have
the
option of

time or mAH
accepted/supplied. Pressing the "5"
key will toggle
between
these two
displays.
CHANGING THE CURRENT DURING CHARGE OR
DISCHARGE
The
Charge/Discharge
current
may
be changed in the
CHARGE/DISCHARGE or
CYCLE
functions.
The

charge
function after the
normal charge
is
completed.
To
use
the
option
properly,
wait
until the
charge
has
begun. Then
press the
"1"
& "2"
keys
simultaneously. The
SUPER'-IQ
TM
will
respond with
a "

confirmation on the
display.
Note,
this is not
a
toggle
function. Once it
is set
(cancelled) it can not
be reestablished without
starting
program
sequence
over.
Being
able to
cancel the
AUTO
-TRICKLE charge is
useful
when
the
effectiveness of
a
particular charge
regime is being
investigated
and the user
wants to
compare
the
amount
of
charge
delivered
vs. the
amount of
charge
input to
the battery.

DISPLAY/MENU
STRUCTURE
The screen
shown
below
is
displayed
when
the
SUPER' -
IQ
TM
is
initially
powered
on (pressing the
"0"
key).
Power on display
The
SUPER'-IQ
TM
uses a two line display screen.
Each line
contains up
to 16
characters.
This gives the
SUPER'`-IQ TM the ability;
to display
up to 32 characters
on
the screen
at
a
time.
Because
the screen area
is limited the SUPER'-IQ
TM
employs two methods to
present more
information.
Words
displayed
on the
screen
are frequently abbreviated and
the SUPER'-IQ TM will use
multi -screen
display,
where it
scrolls
from one
screen to
the
next. The
first screen will be displayed for a
few
seconds,
then
the next
screen
is
displayed.
Depending
on the option
selected the SUPER'`-IQ TM may display as
many
as four
separate
screens of
data
or options.
To stop
(or freeze) a screen at
any
time,
press and
hold
the
"7"
& "8"
simultaneously. As long
as the
keys are held the
screen
will
not scroll.
Some
screens wait for a
response.
The
CHARGE/DISCHARGE
menu
as
an example,
shown to the
right, will
wait
for
you to
enter "
1 "
or"2" (or
"0" to return
back to
the
MAIN
MENU).
The
MAIN
MENU consists of
two
screens. The
first screen
is
displayed
for
a
second or
two, the
second
screen
is
displayed
for
a
similar
time
period and
then
returns
to the
first
screen
again.
This
operation is
referred
to
as
"SCROLLING"
through
the
screens.
You may
enter the
function
at any
time. It
doesn't
matter
which
screen
is currently
being
displayed, just
enter the
number
of
the
function
you
wish to
perform.
NOTE:
We
have
omitted the
explanation
of
many
of
the
screens
that
the SUPER`-IQ
TM
will
be
displayed
during the
course
of
its
operations. The
screens are
listed
in the
Appendix
in
the
order -
that they
appear
within
the
function you
are
reviewing.
The
Appendix
provides
the
user with

THE
POWER
CONNECTION /
POWER
REQUIREMENTS
The
SUPER' -
IQ TM
is a
computerized
charger.
It
requires
a
reasonably
clean,
smooth
power
source.
Victor
Engineering's
IQ
-POWER
-1
is
the
most
suitable
power
source
for
up
to 8
Ni-Cd
or
6
Lead
Acid
cells.
To
charge
a
larger
number
of
cells
(up
to
12
Ni-Cd
or 8
Lead
Acid)
a 20
V DC
(max)
regulated
supply
is
required.
When
connecting leads
to
the
designated
power
input
jacks,
make
sure to
connect them
to the
SUPER 2 -
IQ
TM
first.
This
will help
to
prevent shorts and
reduce
the
risk
of
damaging
leads or
equipment. Use leads
at least as
heavy as
those
supplied with
the
unit. and
as
short as
possible.
When maximum accuracy
of
DISCHARGE
(or
any
other battery
function) is
required,
connect
a
set of
test leads to the METER jack
on the
SUPER' - -IQ TM .
Hook
the
other
end
of the
leads as
close as
possible to
the
terminals of' the cells
or battery under
test. This is
referred to
as
REMOTE
SENSING.
The SUPER 2 -IQ TM will
know
if the
meter is not
connected
and will ask
"VOLTAGE
ACCURACY
REQUIRED?". Should you
choose NO,
the
SUPER 2
-IQ TM
will
take
the
voltage measurements
internally.
These
internal voltage
readings are less
accurate due to
the voltage drop on the
leads.
CAUTION:
Care
must
be
taken not
to connect the
sense
leads to the
MOTOR
jacks
instead of the
METER
jacks.
This will cause
damage
to
the circuit
board of the
unit as soon
as the
next
discharge
cycle
starts.
This is the
ONLY
known operator error that can
damage the unit.
Should this
happen call
Victor
Engineering (714)
830-8483 and
we
can give you
instructions on an
easy
emergency repair
procedure.
MOTOR jacks are
not utilized in
the INDUSTRIAL
SUPER2-IQTM
THE
CARRYING HANDLE
The
carrying handle
also serves
as a
slant stand
when flipped all
the way
back.
The
slanted
position
is
very
important when
the unit is
in use for
two reasons:
1 . To keep
the
heat sink on
it's edge
which maximizes the air flow
around
it.
2.
It
provides the
ideal
angle of the
face
plate making the
screen easier - to
read.
TEMPERATURE SELF
-MONITORING
The
SUPER 2 -IQ T "'
has
the
ability
to sense
the
temperature
of it's heat
sink.
If
the
temperature
reaches 100
degrees
Celsius,
the screen to
the
right
is
displayed.
Where
C = Cool,
T=
Temperature, H =
Hot
This
screen
will
be
flashed
every
10
seconds (the
internal
beeper will
also
sound).
THIS
DOES
NOT
MEAN
THAT
THE FUNCTION
IN
PROGRESS
HAS
BEEN
INTERRUPTED.
IT
HAS NOT.
The lower
line
of
the
screen
represents a
temperature
gage. The
span of
the gage is
approximately
25
degrees
Celsius.
The
function in
progress will
not be
interrupted until
the T
(temperature)
reaches H
(hot)
limit.
If
a
cooling
fan
is
placed so
that it
blows
across
the right
hand side of
the
heat sink,
the
unit
will
begin
to
cool
long
before
the
function
in
progress
would he
interrupted. Under normal
operating
circumstances,
the
temperature
alarm
screen will
never
he
displayed. A
cooling
fan is
suggested
if
several
packs or
cells
will
be
discharged, at
high rate,
in
rapid
succession.

or
macro
programs that can be executed
by a single key stroke in the
future. (See
CREATING
SCRIPTS &
MACROS
pages

3. The
UTILITIES option will lead
to the DEFAULT SETUP function. The
Utilities
menu
also
contains
options to
allow
you to use the
SUPER 2 -IQ TM as
a
digital voltmeter or
thermometer
(See
Appendix
page 3 Utility Loop).
INTERNAL
RESISTANCE
MEASUREMENTS
At the
beginning
of
any
discharge
process
the battery will
undergo an internal
resistance
measurement
test.
The test
begins with a
programmable
high rate
discharge for a
programmable
length
of
time
(from
the
Utility
menu). At
the end of this
interval
the first of two
voltage
readings
will
be
taken.
Then
the
discharge
current is dropped
to a
lower
programmable rate. Upon
reaching the
maximum
value
the
second
voltage
measurement is
stored. The
current
is then reset to
the
programmed
discharge
rate for
the
remainder
of
the discharge.
6

Using
the
information
gathered
from
this
test
the
internal
resistance
is
calculated from
the
follow
formula:
Rint =
(' 1 low
Vhigh)
/
('high
'low
Where:
R ;n( =
calculated
internal
resistance
(displayed
in
milliohms).
'high
=
high
current value.
'low
=
low current
value.
V h;gh =
voltage
read at end
of
'high
period.
V, oW =
maximum
voltage read
during
IOW
period.
The
following
screens
describe the menus
associated
with
the
internal
resistance test:

The
I h ; gh
is programmed
from
the
SET TNT
R DEL menu,
accessed
from
the
DEFAULT
SETUP menu
in the UTILITY
menu. This
sets the duration of
the high rate
discharge (default
is 2
minutes).

Usually
a
10:1 ratio is
desired
between
'h igh
and
'low
to get
enough resolution for a
good
R,
measurement.
It
should
be noted that
the R,,,
measurement can slightly
impact the CAPACITY
delivered as
it
may be
drawing
current at a higher
rate than
you
would
desire
for
the capacity
measurement.
In
this
case
set the
'high
at
the
same level
set for
the
DISCHARGE
RATE.
The same effect
may be
achieved
by
setting
the
TNT
RES
DELAY to
zero.

CREATING
SCRIPTS
Scripts are stored
in a
Power -Down memory
(see
page
9).
To create, edit or
run
scripts,
press
the "2" key
(COMPOSED
FUNCT)
when the
SUPER 2 -IQ
TM
MAIN
MENU is being
displayed.
The Script Menu screen is
then
displayed.
To
create a script,
press the "*" key.
This
tells
the
SUPER 2 -IQ
TM
that
we want to
enter a
new script.
The
SUPER 2 -IQ
TM
must
know
where to
store
the
script so it
displays the "Press Script
Key"
screen. Press
the
key to be
used for this script (1
through 8). We want
to setup
Script
-1 so press the
1 key. This
tells
the
SUPER 2 -IQ
TM
to clear the
Script -
1
area of any
previous data,
and
to
save the new data we
will
enter.
You may replace or change
scripts
(re
-program) the
SUPER 2 -IQ
TM
as many times as
you
like: After
pressing the script
key, the SUPER 2 -
IQ TM
displays
the
MAIN MENU screens. We
want script
-1 to
be a
charge script,
so press the "1"
key to
select
Charge/Disch,
and then press the "1" key
again to
select
Charge. Enter
the rest of
the charge
parameters in the
normal
manner. After entering the
charge
parameters,
the SUPER 2 -IQ T " r
will not start
the charge process
as it
usually would. Instead the
Script
Menu is
displayed. The
charge regime
you
just
entered is
now stored in
the
SUPER 2
-IQ TM 's
memory. It will
remain
there until
you replace
it with
another script.
RUNNING
SCRIPTS
As stated above, existing scripts
are run by
pressing
two keys.
The two
keys are the
"2"
key to select
SCRIPT
ACCESS
from the SUPER'`-IQ TM MAIN MENU
and the
actual script key itself.
When
script
access
is selected
