User manual

c) “PC Link” interface

This interface allows the charger to be controlled and read by a Windows

compatible computer. The free “Charge

Master” software provides all setup functions that can also be set on the device. In addition, you can create and save

your own charging/discharge programmes.

The free software allows operation of the charger using a computer. All parameters are displayed on the computer

in real time. The charged capacity, rechargeable battery voltage or charging current can be displayed as real-time

diagrams with zoom function (double-click with the left and right mouse buttons) and scroll function.

To install the software, insert the included CD into your computer and follow the instructions on the computer screen

for installation. If necessary, start the “Setup” programme. After installation, connect the charger to your computer with

a mini USB cable (not included). The charger will be detected automatically.

11. Troubleshooting

• The charger is very user-friendly thanks to the menu navigation and plain text displays. However, there may be

problems detailed below together with possible remedies.

• Make sure that all charger settings you have made exactly match the connected rechargeable battery!

• Check the connection between the power supply and the charger for problems (cuts or other cable damages). Fur-

thermore, you should check whether the charging cable connectors are intact and not undersized. This can often

be recognised by excessive heat. The charging cables should not be longer than 30 cm with a minimum conductor

cross section of 2.5 mm².

• When operating with a car battery, make sure that the connectors are properly connected to the battery poles. Many

charger related problems are due to problems with connection cables and terminals.

• Try charging another rechargeable battery; the rechargeable battery could be in poor condition and cause prob-

lems.

• Try charging a different rechargeable battery type. For example, switch to a NiMH rechargeable battery if you have

problems with lithium cells. If you also experience problems with the other rechargeable battery type, the charger

could be defective. Anyway, check everything very thoroughly again.

• Contact our service, give full details and provide a description of the problem, including the type of power supply,

rechargeable battery and number of cells.

• If a connection problem is displayed, make sure that all rechargeable battery connections are properly set up. Spe-

cically check the balancer connection. If everything is ne, clean the contacts of connectors from scale. Make sure

you use a high-performance switched-mode power supply or a fully charged car battery with a high capacity value.

Try charging another lithium rechargeable battery from another manufacturer, preferably with a different balancer

connector system to exclude any possible errors.

• Never attempt to tamper with the device, as it is too dangerous and you will thus automatically invalidate any war-

ranty claims! The charger must only be repaired by qualied personnel. Improper repairs can cause res and/or

electric shocks. Send the charger to our service for repair.
