F -SAFETy TIMEr DEFAULT IS ON, 240MIN
Use the Safety Timer menu to set a time limit for charging a battery. When a charge cycle is
started, a clock inside the charger will begin recording the elapsed charge time. If the safety
timer function has been turned ON, the charger will stop the charging process once this
time limit has been reached to avoid damage caused by overcharging the battery. This time
value can be set between 10 and 720 minutes, in 10 minute increments.
G -CAPACITy CUT-OFF DEFAULT IS ON, 5000MAh
Use the Capacity Cut-Off menu to set a capacity limit on when the charger stops charging
a battery. When a charge cycle starts, the charger records the battery capacity. When the
capacity cutoff function is set at ON, the charger will stop charging at the capacity limit to
prevent battery damage. Capacity can be adjusted between 10 and 50,000mAh in 100mAh
increments.
h -INPUT POWEr LOW CUT-OFF DEFAULT IS 11.0V
Use the Input Power Low Cut-Off menu to set the input voltage limit. An alarm will sound if

A -PrE ChArGE TIME (NI-Mh/NI-CD BATTErIES ONLy)
If a Ni-MH or Ni-Cd battery is fully discharged, the battery charger may not detect the
battery. The Pre-Charge Time enables you to apply a low charge rate, increasing the battery
voltage to the point where the charger detects the battery.
WArNING:
Never use the Pre-Charge Time with Li-Po batteries. Doing so may cause
the battery to catch fire.
B -WAIT TIME ChG>DChG DEFAULT IS 1 MINUTE
When you cycle a Ni-MH or Ni-Cd battery (charging, discharging and then charging again),
the battery will get very warm. The Wait Time interval between each step of the process
allows the battery to cool before starting the next step. Default time is 1 minute, but this
can be set between 0 and 60 minutes. Always allow the battery to cool to room temperature
before charging or discharging.
C -NIMh SENSITIVITy D. PEAK – DEFAULT
The D.Peak (Delta Peak) value is adjustable between 5mV/Cell and 20mV/Cell. 8mV/
Cell is a good starting point for Ni-MH batteries. If the Delta Peak value is too high, you
risk overcharging the battery; if the value is too low, charging will stop before the battery
reaches full capacity.
D -NICD SENSITIVITy D. PEAK – DEFAULT
The D.Peak (Delta Peak) value is adjustable between 5mV/Cell and 20mV/Cell. 10mV/
Cell is a good starting point for Ni-Cd batteries. If the Delta Peak value is too high, you
risk overcharging the battery; if the value is too low, charging will stop before the battery
reaches full capacity.
E -TEMP. CUT-OFF DEFAULT IS 80C/176F
The charger can be used in conjunction with a battery mounted temperature sensor (sold
separately, DYN5033) connected to the Temperature Sensor Port to monitor the temperature
of the battery during the charging process. If the battery temperature reaches the cut-off
limit, the charger will stop the charging process. Temperature values can be adjusted
between 20–80° C (68–176° F).
NiCd Sensitivity
D. Peak Default
During charger operation, circuits monitor battery and charger functions. If the following messages show on the charger’s LCD screen, make the recommended responses. If the message continues
after you respond as recommended, contact your nearest Horizon Hobby customer service center for assistance.
