GENERAL OPERATION

The TURBO35 can perform four different operations: These operations are charging (CHRG), discharging (DISCHRG),
Cycling through one or multiple charge/discharge cycles (CYCLE) and running a motor (MOTR). Each mode is entered
by pressing the correspondingly labeled mode button on the TURBO35's front panel.
Under each basic operational mode, the user may view or set parameters related to that mode by repeatedly pushing the
mode button. This causes the TURBO35's menu display to cycle through all of the available related parameters for the
selected mode.
If the selected parameter is user-adjustable, you will be able to increment it's value by pushing the (UP ARROW/OFF)
button. A cursor line will appear under the digit of any settable values.
If the selected parameter has multiple characters, press the left arrow button to move to the next character left. At the far
left, one more press will move the cursor back to the right-most character.
Once all the user-selectable parameters have been set, return to the main mode screen and push the start (START) button
to begin the selected mode of operation.
NOTE: If you don't want to go through the whole menu for the desired mode, select another mode and then reselect the
desired mode. This will take you directly to the main mode screen for the selected mode.
Keep in mind that you can only start a mode of operation from a main mode screen(The screen that appears when you first
press the (CHRG),(DISCHRG),(CYCLE) or (MOTR) button.)
To stop the TURBO35 at any time, push the (UP ARROW/OFF) button.
In addition to these modes, there are two other buttons (DATA) and (SETUP).
The (DATA) button allows the user to configure the serial port operation. Pressing the up arrow allows selection of graph
output, manual computer download, and automatic computer download.
The (DATA) button is also used to view measured and calculated battery data. Here is where you will view most of the
data and calculations which the TURBO35 provides.
The (SETUP) button allows saving and loading setups from power down memory, setting the beeper modes, and entering
the machine name for computer download.
OVERVIEW OF THE TURBO35 OPERATING MODES
The following provides a more detailed description of the various modes of operation available on the TURBO35.

CHARGE MODE

Charge mode allows the user to perform a controlled charge on a cell or battery pack.
Push the (CHRG) button to get to the charge mode screen directly.
The main charge idle display will appear, and the cursor will appear under the charge current setting.
There are a number of parameters in the charge mode which can be set by the user. Press the (CHRG)button repeatedly to
cycle through the charge-related parameters. As you cycle through each parameter, the cursor will appear under the
right-most digit that is settable.
To set any other digit within a given parameter, simply push the (LEFT ARROW) button until the cursor is under the digit.
To increment the digit setting, push the (UP ARROW/OFF) button until you reach the desired setting. When you reach the
