SAFETY PROTECTION
In the Safety Protection Settings Menu, you have the ability to set specific
safety settings to further protect the charger against errors.
You should always check the safety settings prior to starting a
charge or discharge process as the Safety Protection Settings values
are always retained at the last set value.
You can touch and on the screen to turn these functions
ON or OFF. To change the parameters, use the
◄- and +► keys.
The TEMP CUT OFF function can not be OFF. You must use the optional
temperature cable for this function to operate.
ITEM SELECTION DESCRIPTION
CAPAC-
ITY CUT
OFF
OFF
100-20000 mAh
Similar to the Safety Timer, Capacity Cut-Off allows you to limit the
maximum charge capacity of the charging process. Limiting a charge
process on a 1200mAh battery to 1300mAh, for example, can protect
against extreme overcharging. Consult your battery manufacturer’s
recommendation for capacity limits.
SAFETY
TIME
OFF
1-720 Minutes
The X1-200 Touch has an integrated safety timer for all charge process-
es. You can set the maximum charge time as a backup in the event the
X1-200 Touch is unable to detect the proper charge cut off conditions.
This can happen when charging faulty cells, exhausted packs, or packs
exhibiting abnormal resistance or voltage fluctuations.
TEMP
CUTOFF
20 C/68 F -
80 C/176 F
If you are using the optional external Temperature Sensor, you can set
the temperature cut off. If you are not using the Temperature Sensor,
leave this setting as is.
CHARGER PARAMETERS
In this section, you can adjust the maximum voltage per cell during the
charge process and the minimum voltage per cell for the discharge process.
THIS IS ONLY RECOMMENDED FOR ADVANCED USERS.
By setting the END VOLTAGE CHARGE to any POSITIVE SETTING
above the default value, you ACCEPT ALL RESPONSIBILITY for ANY
DAMAGES, INJURY, or any other LOSS which may result. If you can
not accept this responsibility, then DO NOT OPERATE YOUR CHAR-
GER UNLESS ALL TVC POSITIONS ARE SET TO THE DEFAULT VALUE!
ITEM SELECTION DESCRIPTION
DELTA-PEAK
SENSE
3 - 15 mV/Cell
AVAILABLE ONLY WHEN NiCd OR NiMH BATTERY TYPES ARE SELECTED.
You can adjust the peak mV setting to either increase or decrease the
charger’s sensitivity to the voltage drop that occurs when the pack nears
full capacity.
END VOLT
CHARGE
WARNING
LiPo 4.18 - 4.3V/Cell This is the voltage level at which the X1-200 Touch will stop charging the
battery. This feature allows LiPo and LiFe packs to becharged in excess of
recommended cell terminal voltages.
THIS IS ONLY INTENDED FOR EXPERT USERS, ANY CHANGES TO DE-
FAULT SETTINGS ARE COMPLETELY AT YOUR OWN RISK.
LiIon 4.08 - 4.2 V/Cell
LiFe 3.58 - 3.7 V/Cell
END VOLT
DISCHARGE
LiPo 3.0 - 3.3V/Cell
This is the voltage level at which the X1-200 Touch will stop discharging
the battery. It is displayed as volts PER CELL in the pack and not as total
pack voltage.
LiIon 2.9 - 3.2V/Cell
LiFe 2.6 - 2.9V/Cell
NiMH 0.1 - 1.1 V/Cell
NiCd 0.1 - 1.1 V/Cell
Pb 1.8 V/Cell
REST TIME 1 - 120 Minutes
AVAILABLE ONLY WHEN NiCd OR NiMH BATTERY TYPES ARE SELECTED.
Rest time refers to the waiting period between cyclic discharge/charge
processes. Nickel chemistry batteries benefit by having a “rest” period
between cycles to allow the voltage to normalize between cells and let
heat generated by the charge process to dissipate.
