5. Setup
- Imballà: Eliminate cù cura u caricatore è tutti l'accessori da l'imballu.
- Cunnessione di putenza: Connect the supplied AC power cord to the charger's AC input port and then plug it into a suitable AC 100-240V wall outlet. The charger will power on, and the LCD display will illuminate.
- Cunnessione di a batteria: For each battery you wish to charge, connect its main power lead to the XT60 port (A or B) and its balance lead (if applicable) to the corresponding balance port (2-4S) on the charger. Ensure correct polarity.
6. Operating Instructions
The SKYRC T100 features four control buttons: BATT/PROG Stop, DEC STATUS (left arrow), INC STATUS (right arrow), and ENTER Start.
6.1 Navigazione in u Menu
- Aduprà u DEC STATUS è INC STATUS buttoni per scorrere l'opzioni di u menù o aghjustà i valori.
- Press ENTER Start per cunfirmà una selezzione o entre in un sottumenu.
- Press BATT/PROG Stop to go back to the previous menu or stop an ongoing process.
6.2 Charging Procedure (General)
- Sceglie u Canale: The charger will typically display information for both channels. Use the arrow buttons to highlight the channel (A or B) you wish to configure.
- Sceglie u tipu di batteria: Press ENTER Start to enter the battery type selection. Use the arrow buttons to choose the correct battery chemistry (e.g., LiPo, NiMH, Pb) and press ENTER Start per cunfirmà.
- Set Charge Mode: Select the desired charge mode (e.g., Balance Charge, Fast Charge, Storage, Discharge for Lithium batteries; Charge for NiMH/NiCd/Pb).
- Ajustà i parametri: Set the charge current (e.g., 0.1A-5.0A) and cell count/voltage (for Lithium batteries) using the arrow buttons. Ensure these settings match your battery's specifications.
- Inizia a carica: Once all parameters are set, press and hold the ENTER Start button for a few seconds to initiate the charging process. The charger will perform a pre-charge check.
- Monitorà u prugressu: The LCD will display real-time charging information, including current, voltage, and charged capacity.
- Arresta a carica: To stop charging at any time, press the BATT/PROG Stop button. The charger will automatically stop when the battery is fully charged.
6.3 Specific Charging Modes
- Balance Charge (LiPo/LiFe/LiIon/LiHV): Recommended for Lithium batteries to ensure all cells are charged to the same voltage, extending battery life. Requires balance lead connection.
