2. Informació de seguretat

Consells de seguretat importants:

• Font d'alimentació: Use only a 5VDC, 10A power supply. Overvoltage will inevitably burn out the machine.
• Compatibilitat de la bateria: This 18650 battery holder is only applicable to flat-head 18650 battery tests. It is not suitable for pointed-head 18650 or other battery specifications. Before use, adjust the spring piece and the tightness with pointed-nose pliers if necessary.
• Tipus de bateria: This equipment is suitable for charging of lithium iron phosphate battery. The lithium iron phosphate battery for test can only operate in discharge mode. Charging, automatic and active modes are prohibited.
• Bateries danyades: No es permet cap prova d'encesa en cas de bateria danyada o amb fuites.
• Ús professional: El mode actiu pertany al mode de càrrega forçada, que no ha de ser utilitzat per personal no professional i el personal no ha de sortir del lloc durant l'ús.
• Dissipació de calor: Heat will be generated during charging and discharging. Keep away from inflammables during use!
• Protecció de connexió inversa: The tester incorporates reverse connection protection for both the power supply and batteries, preventing device damage from incorrect connections.
• Protecció contra el sobreescalfament: Overheat protection and active heat dissipation mechanisms ensure operational safety and prevent overheating during extended test sessions.
• External Test Terminals: When using external test terminals (2P terminals), ensure that only one channel is connected to either the battery base or the external test. Do not test both simultaneously on the same channel.

6. Instruccions de funcionament

The tester offers multiple operation modes for various battery testing needs.

6.1. S'han acabat els modes de funcionamentview

This diagram visually explains the sequence of operations for the AUTO, CHG (Charge), DSG (Discharge), and ACTI (Activate) modes. Each mode has specific steps like 'Run', 'Charge Complete', 'Discharge Complete', and 'Test Complete'.

6.2. Mode Selection and Parameter Setting

Use the control buttons (CHN Switch, Run/Stop, S-SET, MENU) to navigate through the modes and adjust parameters.

• Botó MENÚ: Press to access the main menu for mode selection and parameter adjustments.
• S-SET Button: Used to set specific parameters within a selected mode (e.g., charge/discharge stop voltage, termination current, stop time).
• CHN Switch: Allows switching between individual channels for viewing or setting parameters.
• Executar/Aturar: Starts or stops the current operation on the selected channel(s).

6.2.1. Mode AUTO

The AUTO mode performs a charge-discharge-charge cycle to determine battery capacity. Only one cycle is supported.

• Select AUTO mode from the menu.
• Set desired charge stop voltage, discharge stop voltage, and charge termination current.
• Press Run/Stop to begin the automatic cycle.

6.2.2. CHG (Charge) Mode

Charges the battery to a specified voltage.

• Select CHG mode.
• Set the desired charge stop voltage (3.7V to 4.2V, 6 levels).
• Set the charge termination current (100mA, 200mA, 300mA).
• Press Run/Stop to start charging.

6.2.3. DSG (Discharge) Mode

Discharges the battery to a specified voltage to measure capacity.

• Select DSG mode.
• Set the desired discharge stop voltage (2.0V to 3.6V, 17 levels).
