The unit will only switch from "Connection
mode" to "Current-saving mode" if it detects a
low-voltage situation.
The equalizing process continues to operate
until one cell of the battery pack falls to a vol-
tage of 3 Volts (LiPo) or 2.5 Volts (LiFe); at that
juncture the unit is forced to switch to "Stand-
alone mode".
The Equalizer immediately switches to "Cur-
rent-saving mode" at that point or - at the latest
- when one cell falls to a voltage of 2.75 Volts
(LiPo) or 2.35 Volts (LiFe).
Note:
If you wish to interrupt the process while the Lit-
hium charger is charging the battery via the
Equalizer, pressing the Mode button is equiva-
lent to disconnecting the battery. However,
please do not press the button repeatedly at
short intervals.
Battery chargers are generally slow to detect
whether a battery is connected or not. The up /
down converter cannot react quickly enough to
swift button-presses, with the result that you
could burn out the Top Equalizer's fuse.
8. Equalizing without a Lithium charger
Of course, the Equalizer is also capable of
equalizing a battery without a battery charger
connected. This is the procedure:
• Insulate the plugs on the charger connecting
leads to avoid short-circuits.
• Connect the voltage sensor lead and the Lit-
hium battery's charge lead to the Equalizer.
• The Top Equalizer starts in "Stand-alone
mode", and the monitor LEDs flash.
The device will now equalize the battery until
the voltage of all the cells is identical, before
switching to "Current-saving mode".
9. Over-voltage cut-of
For safety reasons the Top Equalizer also moni-
tors the maximum charge voltage of each cell,
and breaks off the charge process as soon as
any one cell reaches a voltage of 4.3 Volts
(LiPo) or 3.9 Volts (LiFe). In most cases this will
also result in an error message on the screen of
the battery charger.
This reliably prevents the battery being over-

charged if you accidentally set the wrong cell
count on the battery charger.
10. Status query
In "Current-saving mode" you can call up the
status of the Top Equalizer by pressing the
Mode button.
This is indicated by the Status LEDs flashing in
a particular sequence.
Meaning of the flashing LED sequences
Status LEDs:
green: LiFe mode
red: LiPo mode
Off= Current-saving mode, or no battery con-
nected
Continuous light = Stand-alone mode
The Equalizer is not connected to the Lithium
charger.
(Flashing sequence lasts about ten seconds)
Single rhythmic flashing= Connection mode.
The Equalizer is connected to the Lithium char-
ger.
Double rhythmic flashing= Over-voltage: the
voltage of one cell is higher than 4.3 Volts (LiPo)
or 3.9 Volts (LiFe); the corresponding monitor
LED for that cell also flashes.
Triple rhythmic flashing= Low voltage: the vol-
tage of one cell is lower than 2.0 Volts, or a
short-circuit is present; the corresponding
monitor LED for that cell also flashes.
Quadruple rhythmic flashing= Voltage sensor
connection defective.
Monitor LEDs:
LEDs flash five times= Equalizing process
completed.
(LEDs only flash if the corresponding cells are
connected.)
