Before starting a charge process please ensure that all parameters are set correctly to match your battery type, and that the battery is connected correctly
to the charge output. Use the INC or DEC button to move the Select arrow to the appropriate line: cycle (CYCLE), charge (CHG) or discharge (DCHG).
With a brief press on the ENTER button you can run through all the parameters of the selected mode once more, and adjust them if necessary. Start the
process by holding the ENTER button pressed in for two seconds. You now have to select the charge method: automatic, normal, linear or reflex; see
the following table. Hold the ENTER button pressed in again for two seconds to start the charge process.
If you wish to alter the charge current during the charge process, press the ENTER button briefly: the charge current is highlighted, and can be adjusted
using the INC or DEC button.
Pressing the MODE or ESC button switches between the various charge displays. If you wish to halt the charge process, hold the ESC button pressed
in for two seconds.
Charge mode
Description
Automatic
The charger briefly interrupts the
charge process to monitor the batte-
ry and calculate the optimum charge
current. With this method the values
entered in the CHG line are ignored.
Normal
The battery is charged using the para-
meters set in the CHG line; the charge
process is interrupted for five seconds
every minute in order to achieve bet-
ter peak detection.
Linear
The battery is charged using the para-
meters entered in the CHG line.
Reflex
This charge process is not suitab-
le for all NiMH batteries! If you are
in doubt, do not use this method!
The Reflex process intersperses brief
negative pulses during the charge;
this prevents the cell generating gas
bubbles which cause oxidation, and
the battery can be charged more ef-
ficiently.
