INTELLIGENT BATTERY CHARGER FOR V-LOCK LITHIUM ION BATTERIES ONLY Model CVS8XW – Wall Mount OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Revision 1.0 www.blueshape.
Please read these instructions concerning your safety BLUESHAPE lithium-ion battery chargers have been designed to provide a superior performance by managing relatively high currents during their operation in order to reduce charging time. As may be expected, the chargers become warm during operation and it is therefore very important to keep their ventilation openings unobstructed. Moreover, please follow the safety instructions below. - - Protect the equipment from humid environments.
The user is being alerted of the importance of going through the literature accompanying this product and familiarising himself with the important safety and operating instructions, included. BLUESHAPE CHARGERS ARE INTENDED FOR OPERATION WITH LINE VOLTAGES BETWEEN 100V AND 240V AC AND LINE FREQUENCIES BETWEEN 43Hz AND 60 Hz The equipment is being supplied with a compatible AC mains power cord. In the case when the UK plug is fitted, this plug is equipped with a 13A replaceable fuse.

Installation This charger is designed to ideally be installed on a wall.
- slide the studs in the slots carefully, then lower the charger to seat it in its definitive position - IMPORTANT- verify that that all the 4 studs are correctly and firmly inserted in the related slots connect the AC power cord if needed, connect the USB data cable to the PC before switching-on the charger, to allow a correct detection and initialization of the communication hardware. - The charger is now ready to operate.
Introduction The BLUESHAPE series of intelligent lithium ion battery chargers has been specifically designed for fast and reliable charging of the BLUESHAPE V-lock battery range. All charger models are capable of delivering up to 4.8 Amps in constant current mode making them particularly suitable to users who require a fast turnaround from their batteries.

IPCS and fast charging The CVS8XW charger, similarly to the other product of BLUESHAPE range, features the highest charging current for a Li-Ion charger in the broadcasting sector. This results in currently the shortest possible battery charging time. BLUESHAPE Li-Ion BV battery series allow fast charging due to several intrinsic features such as pre-charge protection and cell balancing; avoiding cell damage and life-cycle shortening, as demonstrated by the life-cycle performances.
CTP: flexibility of operation and charger reliability Due to the high charging currents developed by the CVS8XW charger, heat control is an issue for reliability and operational consistency, even in presence of an abundant air flow convection.
Operating Instructions This charger can charge up to 8 batteries independently. It is aptly divided into 2 sub-sections named: Bank-A (upper side) and Bank-B (lower side) - each bank having its own LCD display. Bank-A is for channels 1-2-3-4 (from left through right) Bank-B is for channels 5-6-7-8 (from left through right) The two sections are totally independent, and each section features an auxiliary DC Output.
Battery installation Battery removal CVS8XW CVS8XW Insert the battery in the direction of the arrow 1) Push and hold the button in the direction of the arrow 2) Pull out the battery in the direction of arrow In the case when you want to charge more batteries, insert the additional batteries into the available V-plate adapters.
LCD indications and usage Each LCD displays up to 2 pages of information divided as follows: Bank-A page 1: details for Batteries 1~4 page 2: AUX port information Bank-B page 1: details for Batteries 5~8 page 2: AUX port information To browse between the pages, press the 'CHAN' button. Pressing at anytime, the 'BACK' button returns the user to the initial page.

Notes concerning charger usage with BLUESHAPE battery packs It is recommended that the users always have at least another spare battery readily available. It is preferable to charge batteries immediately before use. Some loss from self-discharge would result if the batteries are charged several weeks in advance of their use. However, this slight loss can be topped up at any time without any degradation of battery performance (no memory effect) It is recommended to store batteries in a cool and dry place.
Warranty BLUESHAPE chargers are warranted to be free from defects in materials, workmanship and functionality for a period of 12 months commencing from the date of purchase. This warranty shall not apply to any products or parts of, that have been subjected to misuse, negligence, accidental or abnormal conditions of operation. The buyer should always contact the place of purchase for any return of defective product.
