INITIAL PARAMETER SETUP (USERS SET UP)
Termination of NiMH and NiCd battery. The effective value ranges from 5 to
20mV per cell. If the trigger voltage is set higher, there is a danger of over
charging the battery; if it is set lower, there is a possibility of premature termi
nation. Please refer the technical specification of the battery. (NiCd default:
12mV, NiMH default: 7mV)
An optional feature using temperature probe contacting the surface of battery,
the temperature cut-off can be on or off. If it is on, set the maximum temperature
at which the charger should allow battery to reach during charge. Once a
battery reaches this temperature during charge, the process will be terminated
to protect the battery.
The battery is on the cyclic process of charge and discharge can often
become warm after charge or discharge period. The program can insert a
time delay to occur after each charge and discharge process to allow the
battery adequate time to cool down before being subjected to the next process.
The value ranges from 1 to 60 minutes.
You can set the trickle charge mode on or off. If it is on, the charger will automatic
ally supply the trickle chargecurrent to achieve the full charge without overheating
the battery after fast charge has been terminated.

INITIAL PARAMETER SETUP (USERS SET UP)
When you start a charge process, the integral safety timer automatically
starts running at the same time. This is programmed to prevent overcharge
the battery if it proves to be faulty, or if the termination circuit cannot detect
the battery full. The value for the safety timer should be generous enough to
allow a full charge of the battery.
This program sets the maximum charge capacity that will be supplied to the
battery during charge. If the delta-peak voltage is not detected nor the
safety timer expired by any reason, this feature will automatically stop the
process at the selected capacity value.
The beep sounds at every time pressing the buttons to confirm your action.
The beep or melody sounded at various times during operation to alert dif
ferent mode changes. These audible sounds can be turned on or off.
This program monitors the voltage of input battery. If the voltage drops
below the value you set the operation forcibly terminated to protect the
input battery.
You can adjust the brightness of LCD screen at the charger.
