Competition Electronics Turbo35-GFX User Manual page 31

To navigate to the discharge screen, press the MODE button until "dcg mode" appears in
the upper right hand corner of the display.
Discharge Amps
Discharge Amps can be found on page 1 of 2 of the setup screens for the discharge mode.
It appears on the page as "Dcg Amps". Adjust for the desired discharge rate.
# of Cells
Selecting the number of cells will automatically select the cutoff voltage. However, the
value of the cutoff voltage may be customized, see "Cutoff Volts", below.
Discharge Profile Mode
Earlier in this manual we mentioned that the T35-GFX has some special discharge
profiles for conditioning. These profiles are selected here. They are:
• STANDARD
• OVAL
• OFF ROAD
A standard cycle draws a constant discharge rate from the pack determined by the
discharge setpoint, and is the most commonly used discharge profile.
These remaining two discharge profiles are specially designed for conditioning packs. As
a result, the measured and calculated data gathered when using these profiles is invalid
and should not be regarded as accurate.
The Oval Discharge Profile
The oval discharge profile is designed to draw current from the pack in a way that is
similar to actual oval racing conditions. The profile is as follows:
45 amps for 1.25 seconds
0 amps for 1.25 seconds
3.6 amps for 1.25 seconds
Repeat Cycle
The Off Road Discharge Cycle
The off road discharge profile is designed to draw current from the pack in a way that is
similar to actual off road racing conditions. The profile is as follows:
45 amps for .25 seconds
0 amps for .25 seconds
22.5 amps for .5 seconds
Repeat Cycle
When you start a discharge cycle with one of these conditioning profiles activated, the
T35-GFX goes through a short calibration period at the start of the cycle to make sure it
delivers accurate current. Then the profile is executed.
