This displays the first options screen where the details of
the battery to be charged can be entered -
- use
UP/DOWN
buttons to select the required option NiCd, Pb
or NiMH.
Press
SET/STOP
and the display will show
battery cells/voltage-use
UP/DOWN
to set from 1-25 cells
(NiCd/Ni-MH) or Pb from 2-12volt in 2volt increments
Press
SET/STOP
and the display will show battery capacity
of pack being charged-can be set for any capacity from
50-5000mAh in 50mAh increments (NiCd/Ni-MH). Pb from 0.5
to 50.0Ah in 0.5Ah increments.
Press
SET/STOP
and the display will show charge
current- NiCd and Pb can be set from 0.1A to 5.0A in 0.1A
increments. Ni-MH can be set from 0.1A to 5.0A in 0.1A
increments, however the highest charge rate that the software
will allow is equal to the capacity of the battery. For example,
the highest charge rate allowed for a 3.0Ah battery is 3.0A
(1C), charge rates lower than this can of course also be used.
Note that the parameters of the battery to be charged must
be entered on one of the 10 memories before manual
charging, unless one of the pre-set memories matches exactly.
(see setting battery parameters)
Commence charging/discharging by pressing the charge/
discharge buttons. When manual charging Nickel Cadmium
batteries the screen will show the battery check screen (see
below) for approximately 3 minutes while the software checks
the battery status and the level of charge already in the battery.
At the end of this check period the battery charge screen will
appear, with the level of charge which has been detected
appearing as a percentage on the bottom right of the screen.
This battery check feature can be bypassed by pressing the
SET/STOP
button when the battery check screen appears.
Bypassing the battery check will not allow the level of charge
to be detected, and the charge display screen will commence
at 0% level of charge
DISCHARGING: NOTE THAT WHEN THE DISCHARGE CYCLE
IS COMPLETED, THERE WILL BE A SHORT PAUSE BEFORE
SUPERNOVA WILL AUTOMATICALLY START TO CHARGE.
AFTER THE CHARGER HAS COMMENCED CHARGING THE
BATTERY IT IS STILL POSSIBLE TO SEE THE DISCHARGE
RESULTS IN THE DATA REFERENCE PROGRAM.
