Multiplex POWER PEAK B6 EQ-BID Brief Instructions page 3

Before you use the charger for the first time, it really is essential to read the comprehensive operating
instructions supplied on the enclosed CD, together with the Safety Notes.
Connections:
Connect the charger to a 12 V DC or 230 V AC power source. Take great care to maintain correct
polarity (red = positive / black = negative).
Explanation of the button functions
'-' / MODE / AUTO button
• When the charger is connected to the power supply, pressing this button activates the select menu
of "automatic mode" (AUTOMA.).
• When operating the charger manually, pressing this button in set-up mode reduces the charge para-
meter value by one increment; in menu select mode the button selects the previous menu.
• Pressing the 'MODE' button directly before the start selects the process you wish to use (CHARGE,
DISCHARGE or DISCHARGE -> CHARGE).
Caution: the automatic mode may only be used with NC / NiMH batteries!
'+' / START / MAN BUTTON
• When the charger is connected to the power supply, pressing this button activates "manual mode"
(MANUAL) in the Select menu.
• When operating the charger manually, pressing this button in set-up mode increases the charge
parameter value by one increment; in menu select mode the button selects the next menu.
• Pressing the 'START' button initiates the selected process, e.g. CHARGE.
• The '+' button is also used to select the language. Holding "+" pressed in while you switch the power
supply on takes you to the language select menu.
STOP / ENTER BUTTON
• Pressing the 'STOP' button halts a running process, e.g. CHARGE.
• Pressing the 'ENTER' button confirms a selected point, e.g. the activation of a selected menu.
DATA-VIEW BUTTON
• This button displays charger data, e.g. the input voltage. This button is also used to view all the
individual cell voltages of a LiPo battery connected to the charger.
Connecting the batteries
Important !!!: It is essential to check the set parameters carefully before you start a charge / discharge
process. Incorrect settings could damage the battery, or even cause it to burst into flames or explode.
Always connect the charge leads to the charger first, then to the battery; this avoids short-circuits bet-
ween the banana plugs. Reverse the sequence when disconnecting.
Note: in its standard form as delivered, the charger's integral languages are limited to English, German
and French, but additional foreign languages can be loaded as updates via the bootloader function.
