4. Configuració
4.1 Connexió de potència
Connect the charger to a DC power source (10.0-49.0V @MAX 60A) using the XT90 input port. The charger supports a wide input voltage gamma.
4.2 Connecting Batteries
Plug your battery's main power connector (XT90) into one of the charger's output ports (CHA or CHB). Connect the battery's balance lead to the corresponding balance port next to the main output. Ensure all connections are secure.
4.3 Engegada inicial
Once powered, the M8D will display its main interface. Remove any protective film from the screen for optimal touch responsiveness.
5. Instruccions de funcionament
5.1 Navegació per la interfície d'usuari
The M8D features a capacitive touchscreen and a super dial for navigation. Tap on screen elements to select or adjust settings. Use the dial for fine-tuning values or scrolling through menus.
5.2 Selecting a Task
From the main screen, select the desired task for each channel:
- Càrrec: Standard charging mode.
- Balanç: Charges and balances individual cell voltages.
- Descàrrega: Discharges the battery.
- Emmagatzematge: Carrega o descarrega la bateria fins a un volum d'emmagatzematge segurtage.
- Battery Destruction: Safely discharges the battery to 0V for disposal.
5.3 Setting Battery Parameters
After selecting a task, configure the battery parameters:
- Tipus de bateria: Select Lipo, LiHV, LiFe, LiIon, LTO, NiMh, or Pb.
- Recompte de cèl·lules: Automatically detected, but can be manually adjusted if needed (1-8S for Lipo/LiHV/LiFe/LiIon/LTO, 1-20S for NiMh, 1-15S for Pb).
- Corrent de càrrega/descàrrega: Set the desired current in Amps.
