IPC-1 BATTERy CHARGER
Item No. 20 01 80
1.
INTENDED USE
The product is intended to charge and discharge NiCd or NiMH rechargeable batteries. It provides four
independent charging slots for AA/ AAA rechargeable batteries. The charger can also optimise and test the
maximum capacity of the rechargeable batteries. Each charging slot has its own display to show various
information, such as, charging current and battery voltage.
The charging current can be selected from 200, 500, 700 to 1000 mA. If two or less batteries are inserted in
slot 1 and/or slot 4, the charging current can go up to 1500 or 1800 mA.
The charger can charge batteries of different type and size and with different capacity at the same time. It also
integrates the minus delta voltage (-ΔV) function, which monitors the voltage over the charging cycle. When
the battery pack is fully charged, the charger will switch to trickle charging automatically. Therefore the battery
will be kept at its optimum capacity. The charger also includes overheat detection to protect rechargeable
batteries from overheating.
The charger can be powered from 12 V cigarette lighter outlet or from 100 – 240 V/AC, 50/60 Hz mains
socket.
Operate and store it in dry indoor environment only.
This product fulfils European and national requirements related to electromagnetic compatibility (EMC).
CE conformity has been verified and the relevant statements and documents have been deposited at
the manufacturer.
For safety and approval purposes (CE), you must not rebuild and/or modify this product. If you use the product
for purposes other than those described above, the product may be damaged. In addition, improper use can
cause hazards such as short circuiting, fire, electric shock etc. Read the instructions carefully and keep them.
Make this product available to third parties only together with its operating instructions.

PoWER SUPPLy
Operation of IPC1-charger on the included 12V car adapter charger at max. Charging current of
2000 mA total. Do not exceed this value.
1.
Select the desired power supply, either through a mains socket or a cigarette-lighter outlet.
a.
Through mains socket:
-
Plug the power adapter to a mains socket.
b.
Through cigarette lighter outlet:
-
Insert the cigarette lighter adapter to a cigarette lighter outlet. (metal tip = positive; side metal contacts
= negative). The red LED on the cigarette lighter plug will light up.
2.
Connect the low voltage plug to the power receptacle (1) of charger.
3.
When the charger is powered up, all the segments will light up momentarily. The "
until any batteries are inserted.
fuse replacement for the cigarette lighter plug
If the red LED of the cigarette lighter plug does not light up after being inserted into cigarette lighter outlet,
replace its fuse.
1.
Unplug the cigarette lighter plug from the cigarette lighter outlet and disconnect it from the charger.
2.
Turn the tip of the cigarette lighter plug counterclockwise to open the fuse compartment.
3.
Replace the defective fuse with a new one of the same type (please refer to "Technical Data").
4.
Close the fuse compartment.

oPERATIoN
Once a rechargeable battery is inserted, its present voltage (for example, "1.12V") will be displayed for 4
seconds. Then "200 mA Charge" will be shown on display for another 4 seconds.
If "MODE" (7) or "CURRENT" (5) button is not pressed during these 8 seconds, the charging process will
start.
Afterwards, the charging current can no longer be changed without re-inserting the rechargeable batteries. If
defective batteries or non-rechargeable batteries are inserted into the charger, the "
on the display.
Mode selection
1.
Press and hold the "MODE" button (7) for 1 second to change the operating mode for all charging slots.
2.
Press the "MODE" button (7) subsequently to toggle among the "Charge", "Discharge", "Test" and "Refresh"
mode.
3.
To change the operation mode of an individual slot:
-
Press one of the number buttons (4) to select a particular charging slot.
-
Press the "MODE" button (7) to change the operating mode for the selected charging slot.
Current selection
1.
Press the "CURRENT" button (5) to set the charging/ discharging current.
The charging/ discharging current of the rechargeable battery inserted first restricts the maximum charging/
discharging current for all the remaining charging slots.
For instance, if the rechargeable battery inserted first is set to charge at 500 mA, then the second, third and
fourth rechargeable batteries can be only set to charging at a maximum current of 500 mA.
Therefore, the user is recommended to place the battery with the highest expected charging/ discharging
current into the slot first.
2.
To reset the maximum charging current, remove all four rechargeable batteries from the charging unit and
insert them anew. Then, set the desired charging current.
Charging time estimation
The charging time can be calculated by dividing the battery capacity by the selected charging current.
For example, if an AA (Micro) battery with 2500 mAh and the charging current is set to 500 mA, then
(2500 ÷ 500) hour = 5 hour
overheat protection

®
When overheating occurs, the charging will be stopped immediately and the display will show "000 mA". The
charging process will only resume once the temperature of the rechargeable batteries drops to a safe level. If
overheat conditions persist, remove the charger from the power source and let the rechargeable batteries cool
down. The batteries should be charged at a lower current.
