1. Features Optimized operating software The 'AUTO' function can set the current automatically when charging or discharging. Especially for Lithium battery, it can prevent over-charging which might lead to an explosion. Every program in the unit is controlled with mutual links and communication which guarantees the maximum safety for every possible error.
Input voltage monitor: To protect the battery which is used as input power from being damaged, the charger will monitor the voltage. If it dorps below the lower limit the process will be ended automatically. ※ Automatic cooling fan: The electric cooling fan comes into action automatically when it starts to charge or discharge.
3. Warnings and safety notes · Never leave the charge unsupervised when it is connected to its power supply. If any malfunction is observed please terminate the process immediately and refer to the Manual. · Keep away the unit from dust, damp, rain, heat direct sunshine and vibration. Do not drop it.

Discharge · The typical purpose of discharge is to confirm the residual capacity of the battery or to lower the voltage of battery to a defined level. When you discharge the battery you also have to pay attention to the process. To avoid over-discharging, please set the nominal discharge voltage correctly.
5. Initial Parameter set up (User setting) It will work with the default value when connected to the power supply for the first time. Users can change all the parameters of the display if it is necessary. The screen turns bright when press Start/Enter, then you can press DEC/INC to change the parameters, when finish the changing, press Start/Enter to store.
The integral safety timer will start to run automatically when start to charge. If the termination circuit can't detect whether the battery is full or not, this program can prevent to overcharge. The value of the safety timer should be large enough to allow the charging totally.
6.2 Charging Lithium battery in balance mode This is for balancing the voltage of Lithium ion batteries .Charging battery packs should have a separate connector,connect it to the right port of the charger, and also you need to connect the battery to the external of charger. For this charging mode, it is different from other ordinary charging mode.
It shows the current state of ‘FAST’charging. Press Batt Type/Stop to stop charging. 6.5 Discharging Lithium battery For a maximum safety, the value of discharge current on the left side should not exceed 1C. And to avoid over discharging, the nominal voltage on the right side should not be lower than the voltage level that is recommended by the manufacturer.
The screen displays the current state of charging. Press Batt type/Stop to stop the process. The audible beep indicates you the end of charging process. 7.2 Discharging NiCd/NiMH battery Set discharge current on the left side and nominal voltage on the right.
8.1 Charging Pb battery Set charge current on the left side and nominal voltage on the right. The charge current ranges from 0.1 to 6.0A. The voltage should be matched with the charging batteries. Press Start /Enter for 3 seconds to start the charging process.
Set up discharge current and final voltage. Set up the sequence of charge and discharge, and the cyclic times. Save the data. 10. Load Data Program This program can call back the data that was stored at 'Save Data' program. The number area will blink when press Start/Enter, then you can press DEC/INC to choose the value, Choose the data number you want to call back, then it will be displayed.
Displayed the safety timer is turn on and duration of time in minutes. The internal temperature of charger is displayed. (Required an extra temperature probe) Current input voltage. It can show at most 6 cells in sequence when the battery is connected with the right port of the charger.
The detected voltage is higher than the set voltage in the process, please check the cell counts of the pack carefully. One cell's voltage in the pack is too low, please press DEC to check. One cell's voltage in the pack is too high, please press DEC to check.
