User’s Manual
Firmware version 3.1. Visit http://media.hyperion.hk/dn/eos for the newest manuals, firmware, and software
USB Cable also included but not pictured
Warnings:
The EOS 0720iNET3 is a carefully-designed charger with many
built-in safety features, such as reverse polarity protection,
input voltage error warning, and cell-count mismatch
warnings for lithium chemistry batteries. HOWEVER, IT IS
THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE USER TO INSURE THAT THE
CHARGER IS CONFIGURED AND USED IN A SAFE MANNER
AND IN A PROPER ENVIRONMENT.
Always be sure that the charger is properly
configured for the correct battery type.
Be sure that your lithium battery pack balance
connector matches the multi-adapter type connected
to the charger.
Be sure that the batteries you charge are capable of
charging at the rate you select.
Never charge batteries unattended.
Charge only in a fire-resistant environment, non-
flammable surfaces such as on concrete or brick.
Do not charge near easily flammable materials.
Do not charge batteries inside a model.
Charging outdoors is recommended whenever
practical.
Use only high-quality gold 4mm bullet connectors for
charge output cable connection to the charger. See
“setup”.
Properly insulate and regularly inspect all connectors
to eliminate the possibility of short circuit. Damage
caused by output short circuit is not covered by
warranty.
Never allow the charger case to contact an AC/DC
power supply case while powered.
Do not drop or cause other shock to the charger, nor
subject it to moisture, condensation or liquids.
Do not attempt to charge battery packs made from
different types of cells, a mixture of old and new
cells, or cells made with chemistry not supported by
the EOS 0720i NET3.
NEVER attempt to charge “non-rechargeable” cells
Do not open the case of the charger under any
circumstances. Doing so will void the warranty.
Keep the charger away from children and pets at all
times.
HIGH RISK CHARGING ADVISORY
Avoid charging batteries indoors. If you must charge indoors – or any place
injury to persons or damage to property could occur in the event of fire –
then be sure to:
* Keep battery well away from flammables (2 meters or more)
* Contain battery in a heavy fireproof container (such as a brick box)
* Always monitor the charge
HYPERION ACCEPTS NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR DAMAGE

EOS0720iNET3 is designed to charge
single
Lithium-based
packs up to 7S max. For flight packs larger than 7S, Network
two NET3 in SYNC MODE to balance charge two separate packs,
which after charge are series-wired to make the flight pack.
(so 2x2S=4S up to 2x7S=14S series flight packs are possible)
* Temp sensors available separate: #HP-EOSTMPSEN or EOS1210i-SEN
** Firmware upgrades only available if/when improvements are identified in future.
PUT SAFETY AHEAD OF ALL OTHER CONSIDERATIONS!
SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION IN EVENT OF ANY INJURY!
