Lithium Polymer Balance Charge Program Connection Diagram; Initial Parameter Setup (User's Setup) - ProTek R/C Prodigy 610 Instruction Manual

LITHIUM POLYMER BALANCE CHARGE PROGRAM
CONNECTION DIAGRAM
Balance socket:
The balance wire attached to the battery must be connected to the charger with the black wire aligned with
the negative marking. Take care to maintain correct polarity! (Wiring diagram: see below.)
This diagram shows the correct way to connect your battery to the Prodigy 610 while charging in the balance
charge program mode only.
WARNING:
Failure to connect as shown in this diagram will damage this charger.
To avoid short circuit between the charge lead always connect the charge cable to the charger
first, then connect the battery. Reverse the sequence when disconnecting.

INITIAL PARAMETER SETUP (USERS SET UP)
Initial parameter set up (Users set up)
The Prodigy 610 will be operated with the default value of the essential user settings when it is
connected to a 12V battery for the first time. The screen displays the following information in sequence
and the user can change the value of parameter on each screen.
When you are willing to alter the parameter value in the program, press start/enter key to make it
blink then change the value with Inc > or < Dec key. The value will be stored by pressing start/enter
key once.
User setup starting screen.
The screen displays the nominal voltage of Lithium battery. There are three
kinds of Lithium battery: LiFe(3.3V), Lilo(3.6V) or LiPo(3.7V). This is very
important so you have to check the battery carefully and set it up correctly. If
it is different from correct value the battery may be exploded during charge
process.
The Prodigy 610 recognizes the cell count of Lithium battery automatically at
the beginning of charge or discharge process to avoid from erroneous setting by
user. But deeply discharged battery can be perceived incorrectly. To prevent the
error, you can set the time term to verify the cell count by the processor. Normally,
10 minutes are enough to perceive the cell count correctly. For the battery of larger
capacity, you may extend the time term. But if you set the time term too long for the
battery of smaller capacity, the charge or discharge process can be finished within
the time term with the erroneous cell count. This may cause the fatal result.
If the processor recognizes the cell count incorrectly at the beginning of charge or
discharge process, you may extend the time. Otherwise, you had better use with
the default value.
