After proper completion of the charge process the charger emits audible sig-
nals and the display shows corresponding informations.
So tap the window and afterwards, if necessary, the STOP or ESC key to re-
verse to basic display.
Menu DISCHARGE
The data concerning your batteries stored in menu “PROFILE” can be added
in this menu “DISCHARGE” with the corresponding discharge parameters.
Select the values according to battery type and cell number matching your
battery features and save them in the memory. So if necessary tap with your
nger or with the supplied pen on the “memory location” eld. In the blue area,
please tap on the INC / DEC buttons at the bottom of the display to the desired
memory location 0 ... 19. Tapping again the eld deactivates the choice.
Within the set for the selected location in the menu “PROFILE” specications
regarding battery type and cell number, as described below, in this menu “dis-
charge” will accommodate both the charging current as well as other parame-
ters.
Adjustable Parameters
• NiCd, NiMH, LiFe, LiIo, LiPo and PB batteries
Parameter Short description
Voltage voltage limit per cell
Current Discharge current
Setting range: 0.1 ... max. 10 A, maximum discharge power: 60 W
Maximal tempera-
ture
Setting range: 10 ... 80°C (Default: NiCd: 65°C, lithium and lead-acid
batteries: 55 °C).
If the temperature sensor is connected, the discharge process is termina-
ted automatically if the limit is exceeded.
Maximal capacity Setting range: 10 ... 100% in 5% increments, OFF (Default: OFF).
To avoid damage from overcharging, the discharge process is terminated
when exceeding the predetermined limit.
Once the settings are matching with your wishes, go to ...
Start the discharge
... One-tap the ENTER button on the bottom right of the display brings on the
second display page of the „DISCHARGE“ menu.
In parallel, the battery charger balancer checks the active channel CH1 or CH2
charge and compares the number of cells of the connected battery with the
default settings, then, if necessary, appropriate messages are shown on the
display.
Then you have about ve seconds to possibly set a start delay.
Discharge modes
• AUTO
NiCd / NiMH / Pb: Automatic discharge mode, which checks the number of cells and determi-
nes the discharge itself.
By default preset turn-off: NiCd = 0.9 V / cell, NiMH = 0.8 V / cell, Pb = 1.8 V / cell.
The choice of a charge mode is the NOT possible.
• LINEAR
NiCd / NiMH / LiIo / LiPo / LiFe / Pb: The battery is then discharged under the maximum
discharge capacity of the polaron EX-1400 of 60 W with the given discharge current, then the
charger discharges the battery without any interruption for 3 minutes after the start and determi-
nes internal resistance.
The choice of a charge mode is the NOT possible.
• NORMAL
NiCd / NiMH / LiIo / LiPo / LiFe / Pb: The battery is then discharged under the maximum
discharge capacity of the polaron EX-1400 of 60 W with the given discharge current.
The choice of a charge mode is the NOT possible.
• LINK
Note: This discharge mode is only available in the menu to CH1.
LiIo / LiPo / LiFe: batteries with the same capacity and the same number of cells can be
discharged at two charge ports with just a simultaneous setting.
In different cell number, an error message is displayed and the discharge operation aborts.
The choice of a charge mode is the NOT possible.
