Hyperion EOS0720iNET 3 Charger -
Firmware version 3.1. Visit http://media.hyperion.hk/dn/eos for the newest manuals, firmware, and software
USB Cable also included but not pictured
Warnings:
The EOS 0720iNET3 is a carefully-designed charger with many
built-in safety features, such as reverse polarity protection,
input voltage error warning, and cell-count mismatch
warnings for lithium chemistry batteries. HOWEVER, IT IS
THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE USER TO INSURE THAT THE
CHARGER IS CONFIGURED AND USED IN A SAFE MANNER
AND IN A PROPER ENVIRONMENT.
 Always be sure that the charger is properly
configured for the correct battery type.
 Be sure that your lithium battery pack balance
connector matches the multi-adapter type connected
to the charger.
 Be sure that the batteries you charge are capable of
charging at the rate you select.
 Never charge batteries unattended.
 Charge only in a fire-resistant environment, non-
flammable surfaces such as on concrete or brick.
 Do not charge near easily flammable materials.
 Do not charge batteries inside a model.
 Charging outdoors is recommended whenever
practical.
 Use only high-quality gold 4mm bullet connectors for
charge output cable connection to the charger. See
"setup".
 Properly insulate and regularly inspect all connectors
to eliminate the possibility of short circuit. Damage
caused by output short circuit is not covered by
warranty.
 Never allow the charger case to contact an AC/DC
power supply case while powered.
 Do not drop or cause other shock to the charger, nor
subject it to moisture, condensation or liquids.
 Do not attempt to charge battery packs made from
different types of cells, a mixture of old and new
cells, or cells made with chemistry not supported by
the EOS 0720i NET3.
 NEVER attempt to charge "non-rechargeable" cells
 Do not open the case of the charger under any
circumstances. Doing so will void the warranty.
 Keep the charger away from children and pets at all
times.
HIGH RISK CHARGING ADVISORY
Avoid charging batteries indoors. If you must charge indoors – or any place
injury to persons or damage to property could occur in the event of fire –
then be sure to:
* Keep battery well away from flammables (2 meters or more)
* Contain battery in a heavy fireproof container (such as a brick box)
* Always monitor the charge
HYPERION ACCEPTS NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR DAMAGE
OR INJURY DURING INDOOR, NON-MONITORED or other

EOS0720iNET3 is designed to charge single Lithium-based
packs up to 7S max. For flight packs larger than 7S, Network
two NET3 in SYNC MODE to balance charge two separate packs,
which after charge are series-wired to make the flight pack.
(so 2x2S=4S up to 2x7S=14S series flight packs are possible)
* Temp sensors available separate: #HP-EOSTMPSEN or EOS1210i-SEN
** Firmware upgrades only available if/when improvements are identified in future.
PUT SAFETY AHEAD OF ALL OTHER CONSIDERATIONS!
SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION IN EVENT OF ANY INJURY!
