VOLTCRAFT IPC-1 Operating Instructions Manual page 18

Note:
The mode key shall first be pressed and held for about 1 second to activate the mode
change. The subsequent pressing of the mode key will enable to toggle between the
"Charge", "Discharge", "Test" and "Refresh" mode.
There is a 8-second time allowed for choosing further functions after each key pressing. If
no more key is pressed, the LCD will blink one time to indicate the end of setting.
Afterward, the current can no longer be changed during the process and the selected mode
will be undergone.
After 8 seconds from no more keys
pressing, the LCD will blink once to
indicate the setting is confirmed and
the selected mode activated
During charging, the different displays- Charging current (in mA), Time elapsed (in hh:mm),
Terminal voltage (in V) and Accumulated capacities (in mAh or Ah) may be toggled and
selected by pressing the DISPLAY key (refer Table 4).
After the rechargeable battery is fully charged, "Full" sign will be shown on the display and the
user may take out them at this time. Or if the rechargeable batteries are kept placing at the
compartments, trickle charging will start. The trickle charging current is around 5% of the
selected charging current to keep the rechargeable batteries being full.
Note :
The current cannot be altered once the setting has been confirmed in the initial stage. This
can avoid the user changing the current setting accidentally while doing setting on other
rechargeable batteries. If one wants to change the applied current afterward, the
rechargeable batteries must be taken out and inserted again.
The maximum charging current of other rechargeable batteries are restricted by the current
setting of the first inserted rechargeable battery. For instance, if the first inserted
rechargeable battery is set to charge at 700 mA, then the second, third and fourth
rechargeable batteries can be only set to charging at a maximum current of 700 mA.
Therefore, user is recommended to place the battery with the highest expected charging
current at Compartment 1 first. To release the restriction of setting charging current, user
shall take out all four rechargeable batteries from the charging unit.
To change the operating mode during charging, user can press the MODE key (for
selecting all rechargeable batteries) or NUMBER key then MODE key (for selecting
individual rechargeable battery). 8 seconds after the last key press the LCD will blink one
time to indicate the end of changing.
