Start-Up - VOLTCRAFT B6 Quadro Notice D'emploi

9. Start-up

The charger must be used with a stabilised direct current voltage (11-15V/DC).
Never use the charger with another voltage as this will destroy the charger and invali-
date the warranty/guarantee!
Depending on the battery connected, a charge current of up to 5A is possible per chan-
nel. For this reason, the power supply chosen must be strong enough.
Connect the connection cables (21) to the power supply with the correct polarity. If necessary, use the
enclosed terminals (22).
The charger emits a brief audio signal and the displays illuminate. .
The charger is now in the main menu (example).
Please observe the following points before connecting/charging the battery:
If you have not done so already, please read chapter 5 and 6 completely and ensure
that you have understood the information there.
Do you know all of the information you need to know about your battery? Unknown or
unlabelled batteries, the necessary values of which you do not know, may not be con-
nected/charged!
Have you selected the correct charging program for the type of battery you are using?
Selecting the wrong settings will damage the charger and the battery and present a risk
of fire and explosion!
Have you selected the appropriate charge current?
Have you selected the correct voltage (e.g. for multiple-cell LiPo batteries)? A dual-cell
LiPo battery can, under certain circumstances, be connected in parallel (3.7V) or in
series (7.4V).
Are all connector cables and plugs undamaged, do the plugs stay firmly in the sockets?
Worn-out plugs and damaged cables should be replaced.
When connecting a battery to the charger, always connect the charging cable to the
charger first, then the battery to the charger/charging cable. When disconnecting, do
the above in reverse order. Failure to do so presents the danger of a short circuit (e.g.
from the two 4mm circular connectors on the charging cable).
Only ever charge one battery or battery pack on one channel at a time.
If you wish to charge battery packs that you have manufactured yourself, the cells must be
identical in their construction (same type, same capacity, same manufacturer). The cells
must also be charged to the same level (LiPo batteries can be balanced out using the bal-
ancer. This is, however, not possible with other battery packs such as NiMH or NiCd).
