This program sets the maximum charge capacity that will be
supplied to the battery during charge. If the delta-peak voltage
is not detected nor the safety timer expired, then this feature will
automatically stop the charge process at the selected capacity
value.

When using the cyclic charge process the battery can often
become quite warm after a charge or discharge period. This
setting allows you to program in a time delay between charge
and discharge programs. This gives the battery time to cool down
before subjecting it to the next process. The value ranges from
1-60minutes.
If the KEY BEEP function is switched ON a beep will sound every
time a button is pressed to confirm your action.
If the BUZZER function is switched ON a beep or melody will
sound to alert you of changes in the charge process, including
errors.
These functions can be switched ON or OFF independently.
This function monitors the voltage of the input battery used to
power this charger. If the voltage of the input drops below the
value you have set the charge process will be terminated to
protect the input battery.
The safety timer automatically begins running when the charge
process starts. This function is to prevent over charge of the
battery if it proves to be faulty, or if the termination circuit does
not detect a peak. The timer limit should not be set lower than the
time needed to allow a full charge of the battery. Please refer to
the above “Safe timer calculation” to calculate the timer you set.

When charging NiCd or NiMH batteries, divide the capacity by current, then divide the result by 11.9,
set this number of minutes as the value for safety timer setting. If the charger stopped at this time
threshold, about 140% of the capacity will have been fed into the battery.
For example:
Capacity Current Safety Time
2000mAh 2.0A (2000/2.0=1000)/11.9=84 minutes
3300mAh 3.0A (3300/3.0=1100)/11.9=92 minutes
1000mAh 1.2A (1000/1.2=833)/11.9=70 minutes
