AUTOMATIC CYCLE MODE

To get to this mode, push the (CYCLE) button. You may also push the (LEFT ARROW) button until the message
'CYCLE X CELLS X' appears. The 'CELLS X' indicates the number of cycles to be run. Set the number of cycles
and cells by using the (LEFT ARROW) button and the (UP ARROW/OFF) button. The cool down minutes between
cycles for more that one cycle can be set in the DEFAULT MENU. To get there, just press the (MENU CHNG)
push button then the (LEFT ARROW) to get to the message 'COOL DWN NIM XXX). Press the (MENU CHNG)
push button again to get back. The Turbothirty will use the charge amps, delay times, no. of peaks and peak detect
drop-back volts set up in the charge mode. It will also use the cutoff volts and discharge amps set up in the
discharge mode.
To start this mode, push the (START) button. The message 'CYCLX CHG XX.XX' will appear. The 'X' in
'CYCLX' indicates the cycle number being run now. 'CHGX' tells that the Turbothirty is charging and that it is
st nd rd
working on the 1 , 2 or 3 peak. The 'XX.XX' is the supply volts. The first line on the display will show the
actual charge time in seconds, the cell voltage and the charge current.
The display 'CYCLX DLYX XX.XX' indicates that it is in delay number 1,2 or 3 as designated in 'DLYX' by the
'X' digit. The delays are set up in the charge mode. There is a 15 second delay between the last charge peak and
discharge.
The display 'CYCLX DSCG XX.XX' indicates that it is in the discharge mode.
The display 'COOL DOWN CYCLEX' indicates that it is in the cool down period between cycles. The 'X' in
'CYCLEX' designates the next cycle to be run. The number in the upper left hand corner is the time that has past in
minutes for the cool down period.
The cycle mode follows the sequence below.
 Charge battery – using charge mode setup
 Delay 15 seconds between charge and discharge
 Discharge battery – using the discharge mode setup
 Cool-down or completed depending on number of cycles set

MOTOR RUN FEATURE

To get to this mode, push the (MOTR) button. You may also push the (LEFT ARROW) button until the message
'MOTOR VOLTS X.XX' appears. The 'X.XX' INDICATES THAE VOLTS YOU WISH TO RUNT THE
MOTOR AT. Set the volts desired by using the (LEFT ARROW) button and the (UP ARROW/OFF) button. The
motor run time in seconds can be set in the DEFAULT MENU. To get there, just press the (MENU CHNG) push
button. Press the (MENU CHNG) push button again to get back.
To start the motor run mode, you must have the 'MOTOR VOLTS X.XX' message on the display. Push the
(START) button and the message 'MOROR ON XX.XX' will appear to indicate that you are actually running. The
'XX.XX' digits show the supply volts. The current run time in seconds, the motor volts and the motor run current
will be displayed on the top line of the display and are updated constantly. It takes a few seconds for the voltage
reading to respond.
The Turbothirty checks to make sure there is no voltage on the leads before it will start the motor. This will prevent
you from starting this function if there is a battery hooked up to the leads. If you start the motor and then turn it off
with the (UP ARROW/OFF) push button, a voltage will remain shown on the screen for a few seconds. This will
prevent you from starting the motor again until the voltage reading goes close to zero.
The motor will take about 3 seconds to wind-up to speed. This is due to the soft start mode used by the Turbothirty.
This keeps the power supply from going into current limiting caused by the start-up current of the motor.
