CUT-TEMP
Cut-off temperature. Detected using an optional temperature sensor, a safety cut-off
temperature can be set to automatically terminate charging or discharging processes. This
termination can occur for battery temperatures exceeding a preset value.
MAX CAPACITY
The maximum capacity setting is used to terminate a charge. The maximum capacity is
used to prevent the battery capacity from exceeding a preset percentage. Damaged, poorly
balanced, or improperly programmed batteries can be overcharged without this limitation.
SAFETY TIMER
The safety timer can be used to terminate a charge for charging times that exceed
this preset time period. This timer can be used to protect the battery from damage.
STORE VOLT
The battery voltage in the store mode. This parameter is used to terminate a charge
for voltages that reach a preset voltage value.
13.2 NiCd/ NiMH battery charge setup
(Applied to CH1 and CH2)
CURRENT
Charge current. - Tapping the INC/DEC buttons can activate and edit this parameter. The default
charge current is set to 1C (1 x capacity). The CH1 could be configured from 0.1A to 20A (to be
operated within 500W) and CH2 could be configured from 0.1A to 3.0A (to be operated within
30W).
PEAK SENS
Delta-peak cut-off voltage. - This parameter is used to charge the NiCd/ NiMH batteries. As the
pack voltage peaks, the pack becomes hot and the pack voltage drops off. This charger
terminates the charging process using a Delta-peak cut-off. The default parameter is 3mV/cell for
the NiMH batteries and 7mV/cell for the NiCd batteries.
TRICKLE
Trickle charge current. - With NiCd and NiMH type batteries, a trickle charge process is recommen-
ded after the main charge has completed, allowing the battery to become fully charged and ready
to be used. The recommended trickle charge current is approximately 10% of the pack capacity
(possible to set to a max of 500mA).
CUT-TEMP
Cut-off temperature. - Used with an optional temperature sensor, a safety cut-off temperature value
can be specified, allowing the charging or discharging processes to automatically terminate for
battery temperatures exceeding a preset value.
MAX CAPACITY
The maximum capacity setting is used to terminate charging processes for battery capacities
exceeding the selected percentage values. Damaged or improperly programmed batteries can be
overcharged without a proper setting of this parameter.
SAFETY TIMER
The safety timer can be used to terminate the charging process for charging times that exceed
a preset time period. This timer is used to protect the batteries.
13.3 Pb battery charge setup
(applied to CH1)
VOLTAGE
Maximum cell voltage. - CV (Constant Voltage)
CURRENT
Charge current. - Tapping the INC/DEC buttons can activate and edit the parameters. The default
charge current is set to 1C (1 x capacity). This value can be adjusted from 0.1 to 20 Amps,
operating within the 500W limitation.
CUT-TEMP
Cut-off temperature. - Used with an optional temperature sensor, a safety cut-off temperature can
be set, allowing the charging or discharging processes to automatically terminate at battery
temperatures exceeding the preset temperature valu.
MAX CAPACITY
The maximum capacity setting is used to terminate charging processes that result in battery
capacities exceeding a preset percentage value. Damaged, poorly balanced, or improperly
programmed batteries can be overcharged without this limitation.
SAFETY TIMER
The safety timer can be used to terminate the charging process for charging times that exceed
a preset time period. This timer is used to protect the batteries.
The programmed data are stored in the memory and used to charge the batteries. Tapping the Enter button initiates
the charging process. The balance connector verification, the charge mode verification, the number of cells to be
charged, and the delay time setup should be finished prior to the charging process.
For an improperly programmed setup, the charger will initiate a 5-second countdown without many external controls.
