I200
2-CHANNEL SEQUENTIAL CHARGER/DISCHARGER
IDX wants to thank you for purchasing the
charger/discharger, and hopes that its compact and careful design will satisfy all
your battery charging needs. Please utilize this Operation Manual for help on how
to best use the
i200
. If you have any additional questions, please contact the
appropriate IDX office listed on the last page.
FEATURES
- Sequential quick Charger / Discharger for Nickel Cadmium (NiCD) batteries and IDX NP
Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) batteries.
- Can be used for NP and BP style batteries
- Auto detection features for damaged or misused batteries and charger protection.
- Lightweight, compact, easy to carry for ENG, DNG and Field operation.
- Robust metal case, recessed power switch, built-in spare fuse
- Universal A/C power input 100~240vAC for worldwide use.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
A.
Connect AC power cord firmly.
B.
Set the power switch ON at the rear of the unit (the front panel green led will
light).
C.
For use as a charger:
The i200 is a sequential charger. The sequence for battery charging is
called the charging sequence loop. The charging sequence loop starts at
channel 1 then to channel 2, and then back to 1 again (1,2,1,2,1,2….). The
charger automatically searches each channel for a battery to charge, in a
continuous loop. The charging sequence loop is interrupted only by the
detection of a valid battery to be charged. The red LED will be displayed,
signifying a charge in progress. Upon completion of charging the red LED
will turn green and the sequence loop will resume from that point. Once
fully charged, batteries are trickle charged.
D.
For use as charger/discharger:
The red button on the front of the unit is used to activate discharge. Unless
depressed, the unit will automatically charge only. Similarly to charging,
the unit has sequential discharging. Once the discharge button is pressed
the LED will flash green. The LED for other channel will turn orange,
waiting for discharge.
Note: - Charge Priority for BP and NP batteries connected to the same channel
The unit gives priority to the BP Battery connector.
i200
, our 2-Channel sequential quick
With BP & NP batteries connected the NP-type will not be charged. When a BP battery is
connected after an NP is already connected the charging (or discharging) of the NP stops
and the BP charging starts.
Typical Charge Times
This depends on battery condition and frequency of the battery usage. The following are
approximate figures:
NP-23/NP-23dx/NP-1dx 85 minutes
NP-H50/NP-H50dx 125 minutes
BP-95dx 175 minutes
Typical Discharge Times
This depends on condition and frequency of the battery usage. The following are
approximate figures: (From Full charge)
NP-23/NP-23dx/NP-1dx 75 minutes
NP-H50/NP-H50dx 120 minutes
BP-95dx 160 minutes
SPECIAL FEATURES
•
Independent Charge/Discharge. Although the i200 is a sequential
charger/discharger, it is designed to quick charge one channel while independently
discharging the other. This saves the operator valuable time when conditioning
batteries.
•
Low Voltage Batteries. Batteries with low voltage will not be recognized as
chargeable until the unit’s initial conditioning sequence has brought them up to a
valid voltage level for quick charging.
•
Two Battery Types. The unit will charge either BP or NP type batteries, however it
always gives priority to BP batteries. Inserting a BP battery in the same channel as an
NP will disable charging of the NP.
•
Safety. The unit will automatically detect abnormally high or low voltage batteries or
defective batteries and will not permit charging. The channel in question will be
skipped and the LED will not come on.
•
Uninterrupted Operation. If a battery is removed during, prior to or during
charging, the unit will automatically sequence on to the next battery channel.
•
Digital Negative Delta V charging. Using fully digital microprocessor controlled
negative delta V charging method; the unit will handle most manufacturers’ NP-1 or
BP-90/95 style batteries. From 12V~13.2V and 1Ah~7Ah.
