Users should check the parameter settings and adjust the parameter values according to the specifications of the pack to be
charged or discharged.
Note: The screen diagram on 1he left shows the system• s default setting.

The charger checks the cell count of Lithium batteries automatically at the beginning of
Start/Enter the charge or discharge process in order 10 detect and avoid erroneous setting by the
user. However, deeply discharged baneries can be perceived incorrectly. To avoid this

problem you can set an initial time during which to charge the battery at a low current,
usually IOOmA. Normally 10 minutes is enough to detect the cell count correctly. For
batteries of different capacities, you should adjust the time delay. Note: If you set the
time delay too long for a low capacity battery then the charging process can be finished
within the time delay with an erroneous cell count, which may damage the battery and
could be dangerous.
Range: 1-\0 min.(l min.default)
for balance charging Lithium batteries. If the Bal. Spt..'Cd is set to Fast, the CV
termination current will be higher, the charging time shorter and the per-cell voltage
lower. When set to Slow, the CV termination current will be lower, the charging time
longer and the per-cell voltage higher. The default value of Normal is between the Fas!
and the Slow. If Bal. Trickle is ON, the charger won't stop charging until the curren!
falls to around 20mA
Bal. S��: Fast, Normal & S!ow,(Nonnal. default)
Bal. Tn..:-k!e: OFF & ON:(OFF, default)
For balance charging Li battery. There are three balance modes options: CV phase,
storage voltage and always. If the balance mode is set to CV phase, when any cell's
voltage reaches the set voltage for CV, it will enable the balancer. When set to
•always• , the balancer will be enabled from the beginning of the charge process
When set to � storage voltage" , the balancer will be enabled 1.,,hen any cell' s voltage
exceeds the default storage voltage for the configured chemistry.
Balance mode:

When run n i ng a charge/discharge cycle program for a Lithium, NiMH or Niu:! battery
the charger will stop for a while before continuing to the next phase. This allows the pack
to cool down.
Range: 1-60 min.(10 min, default)
You can turn post charge-completion trickle charging. On or Off for NiMH, NiCd or
Pb batteries.
Range: OFF. IO-SOOmA.(OFF. default)
Usually, the NiMH battery voltage will drop a little right after reaching full charge. This
is known as -
n. V. You can alter the charger delta -peak detection sensitivity.
Range: l-20mV/Cel!.(-imV/Cel!.defouh)
