Warning and Safety Notes
Never attempt to charge or discharge the following types of batteries.
🛑
A battery pack which consists of different types of cells (including different manufacturers). A battery that is already fully charged or just slightly discharged. Non-rechargeable batteries (Explosion hazard). Batteries that require a different charge technique from NiCd, NiMh, LiPo or Gelcell (Pb, Lead acid). A faulty or damaged battery. A battery tted with an integral charge circuit or a protection circuit. Batteries installed in a device or which are electrically linked to other components. Batteries that are not expressly stated by the manufacturer to be suitable for the currents the charger delivers during the charge process.
Please bear in mind the following points before commencing charging:
🛑
Did you select the appropriate program suitable for the type of battery you are charging? Did you set up adequate current for charging or discharging? Have you checked the batter y voltage? Lithium battery packs can be wired in parallel and in series, i.e. a 2 cell pack can be 3.7V (in parallel) or 7.4V (in series). Have you checked that all connections are rm and secure? Make sure there are no intermittent contacts at any point in the circuit.
Charging
🛑
During charge process, a specic quantity of electrical energy is fed into the battery.
The charge quantity is calculated by multiplying charge current by charge time. The maximum permissible charge current varies depending on the battery type or its perfor­mance, and can be found in the information by the battery manufacturer. Only batteries that are expressly stated to be capable of quickcharge are allowed to be charged at rates higher than the standard charge current. Connect the batter y to the terminal of the charger: red is positive and black is negative. Due to the dif ference between resistance of cable and connector, the charger can not detect resistance of the batter y pack, the essential requirement for the charger to work properly is that the charge lead should be of adequate conductor cross-section, and high quality connectors which are normally goldplated should be tted to both ends.
Always refer to the manual by battery manufacturer about charging methods, recom­mended charging current and charging time. Especially, the lithium battery should be charged according the charging instruction provided by the manufacturer strictly.
Attention should be paid to the connection of lithium batter y.
Do not attempt to disassemble the battery pack arbitrarily.
10
Warning and Safety Notes
Please get highlighted that lithium battery packs can be wired in parallel and in series. In the parallel connection, the battery s capacity is calculated by multiplying single battery capacity by the number of cells with total voltage stay the same. The voltages imbalance
may cause re or explosion .Lithium battery is recommended to charge in series.
Discharging
🛑
The main purpose of discharging is to clean residual capacity of the battery, or to reduce
the battery voltage to a dened level. The same attention should be paid to the discharg­ing process as charging. The nal discharge voltage should be set up correctly to avoid
deep-discharging. Lithium battery can not be discharged to lower than the minimum volt­age, or it will cause a rapid loss of capacity or a total failure. Generally, lithium battery doesn‘t need to be discharged. Please pay attention to the minimum voltage of lithium battery to protect the batter y.
Some rechargeable batteries have a memory effect. If they are partly used and recharged before the whole charge is accomplished, they remember this and will only use that part of their capacity next time. This is a memory effect. It is said that NiCd and NiMH batteries are suffering from memory effect. NiCd has more memor y effect than NiMH.
The socket-outlet should be installed near the equipment and easily accessible.

DESCRIPTION
When you start a charge process, the inte­gral safety timer automatically star ts running at the same time. This is programmed to prevent overcharge the battery if it proves to be faulty, or if the termination circuit cannot detect the battery full. The value for the safe­ty timer should be generous enough to allow a full charge of the battery.
This program sets the maximum charge capacity that will be supplied to the battery during charge. If the delta peak voltage is not detected nor the safet y timer expired by any reason, this feature will automatically stop the process at the selected capacity value.
The battery’s internal chemical reaction will cause the temperature of the battery to rise. If the temperature limit is reached, the process will be terminated.
You can choose the temperature displayed by Celsius or Fahrenheit as you like.
Rest time allows the battery to cool down between charging/discharging cycle.

5). SCAN TO GO
A very unique feature of EXCEL 200 QUAD is SCAN TO GO (automatically charging system). As the range of battery types and capacity becomes more and more, each battery requires its own dedicated charging process. It is easy to set up the charger incorrectly for
a specic type of battery, resulting damage the battery or even cause accident.
The revolutionary SCAN TO GO provides a solution to this problem by allowing the user to assign a QR Code which contains all the relevant data for the battery for charging or discharging. The user can create a unique QR Code by using “PULSETEC” app. Print it and paste it on the battery.
Using your smart phone and launch “PULSETEC” App. Since all the essential information is stored in the QR Code. All you need to do is press the Scan button, and the charge or discharge process will star t automatically.

User Voltage Calibration
During the manufacturing process every EXCEL 200 QUAD production unit gets tested and calibrated after highest factory standards. Ambitious users who trust their own expensive equipment more or who prefer their personal uke to serve as reference have the possibili­ty to adjust the EXCEL 200 QUAD factory calibration by a few counts.
Note: We will explain Channel D as the calibration procedure.
The procedure for other channels are identical.
1. Use a 6S LiPo battery pack with stable voltage, preferably voltage range from 3.9V to
4.2V, at hand. With your digital multimeter, measure their voltages accurately with a resolution of 3+ decimals, e.g. “3.918V, 3.939V, 3.928V, 3.908V, 3.923V, 3.908V ”.
2. Connect 6S LiPo battery balance wire to channel D. Select “BATT METER” menu and press “STA RT” button. Then press and hold “STAR T ” button for 5 seconds to enter calibrations screen.
Press “INC” button to adjust the voltage value from 3908 to 3918mV for the rst cell.
