Initial Parameter set up (Users set up)

 

BLACKMAX

 will start with basic user settings when it is connected to a 12V battery for 

the first time. The screen displays the 

BLACKMAX BRC6

 welcome screen and then will 

switch to the last used setting. You can freely change the parameter as required.

To  select  different  battery  programs  repeatedly  select  the  “Batt  Type”.  This  will  cycle 

through the different battery basic chemistries. 

To  alter  the  parameter  of  any  battery  chemistry  

press  the  “Enter/Start”  key.  This  will  cause  the 

selected  parameter  to  start  flashing.  Pressing  the  

“Enter/Start”  repeatedly  will  cycle  through  each 

parameter in the selected chemistry type. When a 

parameter is blinking the INC or DEC key is used to 

change the value up or down. Pressing the enter key 

will store the selected value. 

Here is an example: Press the battery type button 

until the screen shows USER SET PROGRAM. Press 

the “Enter” key to display the chemistry type. Press 

the  “Enter”  again  key  and  the  battery  cell  voltage 

should  blink.  Press  the  “INC”  or  “DEC”  keys  to 

change  the  Lithium  battery  voltage  (and  type). 

There are three kinds of Lithium battery: LiFe(3.3V), 

Lilo(3.6V) or LiPo(3.7V). Selecting the correct lithium 

chemistry is very important when charging lithium 

batteries. If the incorrect battery type is selected the 

battery may be overcharged and can explode during 

charge process. 

BLACKMAX 

will  perform  voltage  detection 

to  recognise  the  cell  count  of  Lithium  batteries 

automatically  at  the  beginning  of  charge  or 

discharge process. This algorithm cannot accurately 

recognise  cells  count  if  the  battery  pack  is  deeply 
discharged. 

BLACKMAX 

allows  you  to  set  the 

time  of  intelligent  detection  up  to  10  minutes.  In 

most  cases  (if  a  lithium  battery  pack  is  in  usable 

condition) 10 minutes is sufficient to recognise the 

cell count correctly. 

You can override the automatic cell count selection 

by  manually  setting  the  cell  count  of  your  lithium 

battery  pack  prior  to  commencing  the  charge 

process.
