Display ◎ CHARGE PAGE Section 1 Memory number & Battery name To access the charge mode, tap the CHARGE icon on the main page. The parameters in this mode are dependant on the selected battery type that was set on the profile page. Battery type Battery voltage Battery capacity Section 2 Tap the CHARGE icon on the main page to initiate the charging process. 1) Tap the memory number box in section 1 to activate. Tap the INC/DNC buttons to set the memory number.
: Cut-off temperature. Detected using an optional temperature sensor, a safety cut-off temperature can be set to automatically terminate charging or discharging processes. This termination can occur for battery temperatures exceeding a preset value. - Max Capacity : The maximum capacity setting is used to terminate a charge. The maximum capacity is used to prevent the battery capacity from exceeding a preset percentage.
[ NORMAL ] NiCd/NiMH : The charger will charge the pack with a preset charge current, stopping the charging Charge modes for the POLARON PRO CHARGER LiPo, LiIon, LiFe CC-CV FAST N-STORE Q-STORE CV-LINK NiCd, NiMH AUTO : The charge will automatically adjust the charging conditions. NORMAL : Normal charge conditions. LINEAR : The preset current is maintained throughout the charge. Pb CC-CV process every minute to calculate the voltage and detect the Delta peak.
This page (left) shows the charging process with the parameters and graph. Both the voltage and current will increase to the preset parameters. The preset current may be limited by the charge/discharge capacity and the input voltage setup. The maximum charging process can operate with 500W by CH 1 and 30W by CH 2. Tapping the graph will access the data view page. The operating data can be displayed. Please refer to pages 27-29 for further information.
The programmed data are stored to memory to be used in the battery discharge process. Tapping the Enter button causes the charger to initiate the preliminary steps, including a check of the balance connector, discharge mode, number of cells, and the delay time setup. The discharge process starts immediately after these preliminary steps. With proper programming, the charger will display a 5-second countdown. The discharging sequence is shown below.
This page (left) shows a display of the discharging process with the parameters and graph. Both the voltage and current will increase to the preset parameters. The preset current value may be limited by the charge/discharge capacity and the input voltage setup. The max discharge operates at 60W by CH1 and 5W by CH2. USER NAME Tap the CYCLE icon on the main page to access the cycle mode. Tapping the graph will access the data view page, allowing the operating data to be displayed.
Charge mode selection in cycle mode Discharge mode selection in cycle mode The charge mode and the start delay time parameters are programmed. Tap the box to activate (blue). Tap the DEC/INC button to select the desired mode. Discharge modes are explained below After counting down, the charger initiates the discharge process. Tapping the Enter button will cause the charger to immediately initiate the charging process. Start delay time The start delay time can be set at values betwee 1-150 minutes.
Center voltage Range voltage Pressing the STOP button will cause the pop-up window to appear, asking for a confimation that you want to stop the operation. Tapping either the STOP or ESC button will cause the charger to either stop or continue the cycle, respectively. Cell Voltage Manual / Auto ▲ BALANCE MODE 1 ◎ BALANCE PAGE (Applied to CH 1) Tapping the BALANCE icon on the main page will access the balance mode. Tap the DEC/INC Buttons to toggle between the 3 modes.
Finish Sound : 10 types of sounds are available. Sound Time : The times available for the charger are ON, OFF, 5sec, 15sec, and 1min. Beep : This parameter can be turned on/off to select either an internal or an external button. LCD Bright : Backlight brightness can be adjusted (1-20 steps). Temp. Scale : The temperature unit can be changed. Sound Vol. : The sound level can be adjusted.
◎ MISC PAGE (Addition function) Tap the MISC icon on the main page to access the MISC mode and to program the Servo, Brushless/Brushed power motor, Warmer and ESC functions. 1) Servo test division (Screen top) - Connect the Servo to the connecter on the right side of the charger (see picture, below).
The optional accessory Brushed motor setup Connect the motor to a 4mm banana charge socket. Tap the MOTOR icon to access the motor setup mode. This page has 3 menus. Wire splitter for testing the motor sensor (S8002) Connection configuration for the ESC, Motor, Battery, and Wire splitter 1) Break-In - The motor is operated and limited by the preset voltage for the preset time. The operating time is set by minutes and seconds The operating voltage is set.
Setting the number of cycles (1-10 cycles) Setting the operating voltage, the operating time, and the delay time, for each of the 4 steps. The operating cycle number. 3) Motor test - For the motor operations (6 steps), the average current (Aa) and the peak current (Ap) can be selected, using either 4.8V or 7.2V. 1) Battery Warmer - At low temperatures, lithium type batteries tend not to perform well. This function is used to warm up the batteries to ensure proper function for batteries stored outdoors.
Temperature setup Connection configuration for the ESC setup (Charger, ESC, Motor, Battery, Receiver included) Alarm setup Alarm rings at the preset time. The charger continues operating. Tap the STOP button to stop the alarm. Output voltage setup With an installed temperature sensor, this feature is controlled automatically. The preset voltage can be outputted for setups without a temperature sensor. The temperature setup range is 5-15V.

Tapping the error message can clear the message and return to the previous page. < WARNING !!! > DO NOT TURN OFF THW POWER. ▶ Input voltages of less than 11V or exceeding 28V. Smart BMS *POLARON* 1.
Low Output-Volt Output voltage is lower than the selected cells or voltages. Pls select proper cells or voltages. ◆ A Low Output-Volt error message indicates that either the voltage setup is below the requirements for the charging/discharging battery or the number of cells has been improperly selected. BLC Volt Low Balancer cell voltage is too low ! Low cell is [0] High Output-Volt Calibration Output voltage is higher than the selected cells or voltages. Pls select proper cells or voltages.
◎ COMMON PROBLEMS AND PRECAUTIONS FOR THE POLARON PRO DC CHARGER - The charger has been turned on, but the LCD Screen is off. . Check that the external power source is an appropriate source. . This charger should be operated only with the types of power sources that are indicated on the specifications. . Please contact the A/S center for additional information. . . . The charger does not recognize the batteries. Check that the battery connections and the polarity are correct.
- When used correctly, Lithium ion/Polymer/Fe battery packs are as safe as any other type of rechargeable battery pack. However, these batteries do require different charge regimes than the more established Nickel Cadmium and Nickel Metal Hydride technologies and have the potential for catching fire, if severely mistreated. - If Lithium Polymer battery packs are short-circuited or severely over-charged, elemental Lithium may be deposited internally.
