INTELLIGENT BATTERY CHARGER FOR V-LOCK LITHIUM ION BATTERIES ONLY Model CVTR2 - SEQUENTIAL OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Revision 1.2 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.

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 4 Amps in constant current mode making them particularly suitable to users who require a fast turnaround from their batteries. For the users’ convenience, the external dimensions have been kept as compact as possible for better portability.
IPCS and fast charging The BLUESHAPE CVTR2 charger 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 CVS8X charger, heat control is an issue for a travel charger, especially if the travel charger is used in potentially hot environments such as inside a car or a van.
Operating Instructions - CVTR2 This charger sequentially charges two batteries with charging currents of up to 4 Amperes. How to proceed: Pull out and rotate the aluminium foot 90° in a left or right hand direction for vertical freestanding operation. The unit has been designed to remain in balance with only one battery or with both batteries connected, if this set-up is respected.

In the case when an accessory is plugged into the accessories XLR, the charging process will be suspended. The AUX LED will light up and the other battery LEDs will show 'WAITING'.

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.
