INITIAL PROGRAMMING SETUP (USERS SETUP)
Initial Programming Setup
When powering up your new Prodigy 620 DUO for the first time, its charge parameters
will be set to their default values. You may change the values of each parameter and
then store these new settings to recall later.
To change the value of a specific parameter, press the “ Start/Enter ” button to make it
blink; when blinking, press the INC or DEC buttons to change the parameter to the
desired value. Press the Start/Enter button once to store the new setting.
User set up starting screen.
This screen displays the nominal voltage of the Lithium battery
type currently selected: LiPo (3.7V), LiFe (3.6V) or Li-Ion (3.6V). It
is very important that this setting matches the battery that will be
charged, as an incorrect value may damage the battery and can
cause a fire.
The Prodigy 620 DUO will automatically detect the cell count of a
Lithium battery at the beginning of a charge or discharge process;
however, Lithium batteries that have been discharged too deeply
may be difficult for the Prodigy 620 DUO to detect. A timer may
be set to terminate the process early if the cell count cannot be
detected; normally, the default setting of 10 minutes is sufficient,
though you may extend the time limit for larger batteries. Please
note that setting the time limit too high may cause the charge or
discharge process to finish with an improper cell count setting,
which may damage the battery or cause a fire.
The Prodigy 620 DUO uses Delta-peak detection to terminate the
charge process of NiCD and NiMH batteries. The Delta-peak
sensitivity can be adjusted from 5-20mV per cell; too high of a
value may damage the battery due to overcharging, while too low
of a value may cause the charger to terminate the process
prematurely. Please refer to the battery manufacturer’s instruc-
tions. (NiCD default: 12mV NiMH default: 7mV)
