Maximum safety
Delta peak sensitivity for NiMH/NiCd batteries: The programme for automatic termination of the charging process is
based on the principle of delta peak voltage detection. When the battery voltage exceeds the threshold, the process is
automatically terminated.
Automatic charging current limitation
You can set the upper limit of the charging current when charging your NiMH or NiCd battery. This is useful for NiMH
batteries with low impedance and capacity in AUTO charging mode.
Capacity limits
The charging capacity is always calculated from the charging current multiplied by the time. If the charging capacity
exceeds the limit value, the process is automatically terminated when you set the maximum value.
Temperature limit *
The internal chemical reaction of the battery leads to an increase in temperature. When the temperature limit is
reached, the process is aborted.
*
This function is available when an optional temperature sensor is connected that is not included.
Limitation of the processing time:
You can also limit the maximum processing time to avoid a possible defect.
LITHIUM BATTERY CONNECTION DIAGRAM
The AMC100 charger is equipped with an integrated switching power supply. You can connect the mains cable directly
to the mains socket (100-240V AC) or you can connect an external power supply (11,0 – 18,0V) or car battery to the DC
input socket.
PLEASE NOTE:
The charger MUST be switched on before you connect a battery to the charger. If the charger is not switched on before
you connect a battery, the charger may fail if the connections are not correct. The charger must be switched on to
detect an incorrect connection and warn you before you can go too far and cause damage. If you receive the Reverse
Polarity warning, you MUST disconnect the battery immediately! Never disconnect the charger from the power supply
first.
Before connecting a battery, be sure to check one last time that you have set the charging parameters correctly. If the
settings are incorrect, the battery can be damaged and could even burst into flames or explode. Make sure that the
connection from the charger to the battery is correctly polarised, check this again for safety.
