Parameter Short description
Voltage Maximum cell voltage at constant charge (CV)
Current The default value, inherited from the „Proles“ menu to 1C, can be adapt-
ed within the „Maximum capacity“ of the charge port rate and the charger
features, see display 2 of the menu „Settings“ on page 43, in the range of
0.1 to a maximum of 30 A.
Maximal Tempera-
ture
Setting range: 10 ... 80 ° C (Default: 50 ° C). If the temperature sensor is
connected, the charge process is stopped automatically when that tem-
perature is exceeded.
Maximal capacity Setting range: 10 ... 150% in 5% increments, OFF (default value: 120%).
To avoid damage from overcharging, the charge stops when the limit is
exceeded.
Safety timer Setting range: 10 ... 900 minutes in 5 minute increments OFF (default
value:
120 min). To avoid damage from overcharging, the charge stops when
the limit is exceeded.
Once the settings are matching with your wishes, go to ...
Start the charge process
... Press the ENTER button on the bottom right of the display on the second
display page of the „CHARGE“ menu.
In parallel, the charger checks the balancer port of the active charging channel
CH1 or CH2 and compares the number of cells of the connected battery with
the default settings, whereupon corresponding messages are shown on the
display.
Then you have about ve seconds - depending on the selected battery type -
to select or adjust other options, see below.
Charge modes of different battery types
• AUTO
NiCd / NiMH: Automatic charge mode, which automatically determines the charge current
based on the internal resistance of the battery determined by the charger.
To recognize the „Delta Peak“, the charger checks the charging voltage in minutes rhythm.
Choosing a discharge mode is NOT possible.
• LINEAR
NiCd / NiMH: The charger checks the number of cells of the connected battery and charges
then the battery with the specied constant charge current. The „Delta Peak“ is detected at all
times. Every 10 minutes the charger will stop charging for a few seconds to measure the inter-
nal resistance of the battery.
This method makes it possible to detect the peak Zero (0 mV / cell) and to stop charging without
temperature rise.
Choosing a discharge mode is NOT possible.
• NORMAL
NiCd / NiMH: The charger charges the battery with the specied charge current and reviewed in
minutes rhythm to detect the charge voltage to the „Delta Peak“.
Choosing a discharge mode is NOT possible.
• CC/CV
LiIo / LiPo / LiFe / Pb: The charger charges the battery with the pre-selected constant charge
current and afterward at a constant voltage rate dependent on battery type and the cells number
of the connected batteries. When the maximum voltage is reached, the current will be reduced
until the charge is nished.
The battery is balanced during the charge trough the balancer.
Choosing a discharge mode is NOT possible.
• FAST
LiIo / LiPo / LiFe: The charger charges the battery connected to a constant voltage.
The battery is balanced during the charge trough the balancer.
Choosing a discharge mode is NOT possible.
• CV-LINK
Note: This charge mode is only available in the menu by selecting CH1.
LiIo / LiPo / LiFe: batteries with the same capacity and the same number of cells can be
charged simultaneously on two charge ports with just a setting.
In different cell number, an error message is displayed and the charge operation aborts.
Choosing a discharge mode is NOT possible.
After the expiration of the aforementioned 5 seconds within which you can
choose a particular charge mode, it is as well possible to input a start delay
should have at least tackled start with an automatic battery test.
If no battery is connected, or an improper battery is detected, an appropriate
error message will be shown after completion of the battery test, see “Alert
messages“ on page 48
