SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Please note the following safety instructions. Failure to do so may result in serious damage to the charger and batteries.

•  Do not store the charger at temperatures below 5°C or over 50°C.
•  Keep the charger away from dust, moisture, rain, heat, direct sunlight and vibrations. Do not drop.
•  Only use this charger on heat-resistant, non-flammable, non-conductive surfaces. Never place it on carpets, car seats or similar surfaces.
•  Only charge power packs indicated in the instructions.
•  Do not use a voltage or charge higher than that stipulated by the manufacturer of the battery pack.
•  Check carefully that the charger is set to the correct battery type (e.g. LiPo, NiMh ) and the applicable technical specifications (e.g. number of cells, voltage).
•  A lithium polymer (LiPo) battery pack should be put in a LiPo charging bag or on a fire-resistant surface during charging.
•  If your battery shows evidence of any abnormalities during the charging process (overheating, hissing, swelling), remove the battery from the charger immediately and place it away from people and flammable materials.
•  Never take the charger apart nor make any modifications to it.
•  Never attempt to use the charger to charge or discharge non-rechargeable batteries or damaged battery packs.
•  Keep the charger away from children.
•  Never leave the charger unattended when connected to the power supply.

KEY FEATURES

Mode / ESC
Mode selection/stop/back button. Press this key to select in the main menu or go back to the main menu. And to stop during the process.

Dec./Inc.
Reduce and increase button. You can browse other concerning information by this button during the charge/discharge process. When you are setting parameters, press “Dec” for reduce, and “Inc” key for increase.

Start/Enter
Select the “Enter” button, to start work by pressing it more than 2 seconds.

CONFIGURATION MENU

LIPO/LIION/LIFE PROGRAM

When you connect the lithium battery to the balance socket, it will use the balance charge mode automatically. If you do not connect it to the balance socket, then it will use the LiPo/Lilon/LiFe charge mode. You can change the LiPo/Lilon/LiFe charge mode into the balance charge mode, but cannot change the balance charge mode into LiPo/Lilon/LiFe charge mode. When balance charging, the built-in balancer can monitor the individual cell voltage of the battery pack and then balance the voltage. We suggest you to use the balance charge mode, when charging 2 – 4 series lithium batteries. Press the “Enter” key to get into the parameter set mode. When you are willing to alter the parameter value in the program, press the “Enter” key to make it blink, then change the value with “INC/DEC” keys. The value will be stored by pressing the “Enter” key once. Then press the “Enter” key for more than 2 seconds to start the process. This shows the number of cells you set up and the processor detects.“R“ shows the number of cells found by the charger and „S“ is the number of cells selected by you at the previous menu.If both numbers are identical you can start charging by pressing the “Start/Enter” button. If they are not identical, press the “Mode/ Esc” button to go back to the previous menu, then carefully check the number of cells of the battery pack to charge again. This shows the present situation during charge process. To stop the charging press the “Mode/Esc” key once.

NIMH, NICD BATTERY PROGRAM

When you are willing to alter the parameter value in the program, press the “Enter” key to make it blink, then change the value with the “INC/DEC” keys. The value will be stored by pressing the “Enter” key once. Then press the “Enter” key for more than 2 seconds to start the process. This shows the present situation during charge process. To stop the charging press the “Mode/Esc” key once.

PB BATTERY PROGRAM

This is programmed for charging Pb batteries with a nominal voltage from 2 to 20 V. Pb batteries cannot be charged rapidly. They can only deliver relatively lower current compared to their capacity. The optimal charge current will be 1 /10 of the capacity. Please always follow the instruction supplied by the manufacturer of the battery. When you are willing to alter the parameter value in the program, press „Enter” key to make it blink, then change the value with the “INC/DEC” keys. The value will be stored by pressing the “Enter” key once. Then press the “Enter” key for more than 2 seconds to start the process. This shows the number of cells you set up and the processor detects. “R“ shows the number of cells found by the charger and „S“ is the number of cells selected by you at the previous menu. If both numbers are identical you can start charging by pressing the “Start/Enter” button. If the numbers are not identical, press the “Mode/Esc” button to go back to the previous menu. Then carefully check the number of cells of the battery pack to charge again. This shows the present situation during charge process. To stop the charging press the “Mode/Esc” key once.

WARNING AND ERROR MESSAGES

1. The output is connected to a battery with incorrect polarity.
2. This will be displayed in case of detecting an interruption of the connection between the battery and the output, or voluntarily disconnection of the charge lead during the operation of charge or discharge.
3. There was a short circuit at output. Please check the charging leads.
4. The voltage of input power drops out of the limit.
5. The processor detects the voltage is lower than you set at the Lithium program. Please check the cell count of the battery pack.
6. The voltage of one of the cells in the lithium battery pack is too low. Please check the voltage of the cell one by one.
7. The processor detects the voltage is higher than you set at the Lithium program. Please check the cell count of the battery pack.
8. The voltage of one of the cells in the Lithium battery pack is too high. Please check the voltage of the cells one by one.
9. In the process of charging, the battery connection breaked off.
10. In balance charge mode, the balance port connection breaked off.
