Initial Parameter Setup (User Setup)
As default this charger will be set to typical user settings when it is connected to
AC 110-240v or DC 11-18v for the first time. The screen displays the following
information in sequence and the user can change the parameter on each screen.
If you need to alter the parameter value in the program, press “Start/Enter” key
to make your selection blink then change the value with the “INC” or “DEC” keys.

The screen displays the nominal voltage of the Lithium battery. There
are three kinds of Lithium cell: LiFe(3.3v), Li-ion(3.6v) and LiPo(3.7v). It
is very important that you check the battery carefully and set the correct
battery type before charging.
The Reactor 500 will recognize the cell count of the lithium battery
automatically at the beginning of the charge or discharge process.
A re-check time can be set into the process to prevent an incorrect
reading, this can happen with a deeply discharged battery. Normally 10
minutes is enough for the charger to correctly perceive the cell count.
You can increase or decrease this time depending on the capacity of the
battery pack and the overall charge time. The default setting will cover
most applications.
