  • Page 6: Battery Checker

    BATTERY CHECKER BATTERY CHECKER The i-Meter allows you to check the individual cell voltages of a 2 cells- 8 cells Lithium battery. The i-Meter individually measures & diagnoses the cell voltages of the multiple cells, the result is displayed on the large liquid crystal screen.
  • Page 7 A battery that has always been charged with a reputable balancer is likely to reproduce accurate readings on the i-Meter. A battery that has had a hard life full discharge and recharge with no balance charging is more likely to have discrepancies between actual and shown results.
  • Page 8: Battery Internal Resistance

    BATTERY INTERNAL RESISTANCE The i-Meter has been created to give you the ability to make an informed determination of what the true cell and pack ratings by providing a useful measure, the cell internal resistance.
  • Page 9 Generally the closer to a full charge a cell is the lower the internal resistance. Cell age As cells become older their internal resistance tends to increase. The i-Meter has been built to allow cells to be tested under a known set of loads which will facilitate comparisons. - 09 - www.skyrc.com...

    WATT METER PRECAUTIONS 1. Do not leave a cell connected to the i-Meter for more than five minutes. 2. Be aware that although the i-Meter only takes small samples from the battery pack, the voltage will be reduced. Make sure you check your pack balance.

    ESC. To use the tester to evaluate a servo Connecting a battery to the i-Meter volt port. Plug a servo into the servo port. The servo can be controlled with the adjustment dial under Manual Mode. Press ‘MODE’ button once to set the PPM signal to auto.
  • Page 13: Tacheometer Rpm

    TACHEOMETER RPM There is an optical tachometer within i-Meter. An optical tacho sensor is fitted to the right side i-Meter case and is activated by pointing i-Meter towards the propeller at a distance of 10 and 20cm from the propeller.
  • Page 14: Temperature

    Wrong setting will affect RPM readings for the optical tachometer. For example, fitting a three bladed propellers, but leaving the i-Meter blade figure at 2 would cause the optical tachometer to read 50% high. TEMPERATURE There is a temperature sensor available, so you can monitor the temperature of battery, motor, electronic speed controller, etc.
