4. Налаштування

1. Підключення живлення: Connect the tester to a 5V DC power source using one of the two Type-C interfaces. An adapter and cable are typically included.
2. Вставлення батареї: Insert flat-top 18650 batteries into the designated battery holders (3, 4, 5, 6). Ensure correct polarity (+ and -). The tester supports flat-top 18650 batteries.
3. Стабілізація: After installing a battery, allow a few seconds for the voltage and internal resistance readings on the display to stabilize before proceeding with tests.

5. Інструкція з експлуатації

The tester allows for independent operation of its four channels.

5.1. Basic Navigation and Channel Selection

• Використовуйте Channel /CHN Key (16) to switch between the four independent channels (CHN 1 to CHN 4).
• The Menu /M Key (13) is used to enter or exit menu settings.
• The Adjust /S Key (14) is used to change values or select options within a menu.
• The Start/Stop /R/S Button (15) initiates or terminates a test cycle.

5.2. Automatic Charge and Discharge Cycles

The tester supports fully automatic charging and discharging cycles (1-9 cycles adjustable in auto mode).

1. Select the desired channel using the Channel /CHN Key.
2. Натисніть Menu /M Key щоб перейти до вибору режиму.
3. Використовуйте Adjust /S Key to select 'AUTO' mode.
4. Adjust the number of cycles (LOOP: 1-9) using the Adjust /S Key якщо потрібно.
5. Натисніть Start/Stop /R/S Button to begin the automatic cycle. The charging process automatically stops when the battery is full.

5.3. Internal Resistance Measurement

The device utilizes the DC two-wire method to provide reference internal resistance values.

• For the most accurate reading, measure internal resistance when the battery is fully charged.
• The internal resistance value is displayed as 'mR' on the screen (5).

5.4. Setting Stop Discharge Voltage

You can choose from 11 stop-discharge voltage levels (2.5V to 3.5V).

1. Виберіть потрібний канал.
2. Enter the menu using the Menu /M Key.
3. Navigate to the 'STOP' voltage налаштування.
4. Використовуйте Adjust /S Key to select the desired stop discharge voltage (2.5V, 2.6V, ..., 3.5V).
5. Підтвердьте налаштування та вийдіть із меню.

5.5. Важливі примітки щодо використання

• Discharge current is fixed at a maximum of approximately 1A (non-adjustable, non-constant current).
• Зарядка випtage is fixed at 4.2V.
• This tester is не сумісний with LiFePO4 batteries.

6. Інформація про безпеку

The device incorporates several safety features to ensure safe operation:

• Захист від перегріву: The integrated radiator fan (11) and internal sensors help prevent the device from overheating during operation.
• Автоматичне вимкнення: Settings are automatically saved in case of power loss.
• Charge Cutoff: Automatic charge cutoff prevents overcharging of batteries.
• Стоп розряду: Configurable stop discharge voltage prevents over-discharging.

Always ensure correct battery polarity when inserting batteries to prevent damage to the device or batteries.

7. Технічне обслуговування

• Тримайте пристрій чистим та без пилу. Використовуйте для очищення м’яку суху тканину.
• Avoid exposing the tester to moisture or extreme temperatures.
• Ensure the cooling fan (11) is not obstructed to maintain proper airflow.
• Коли пристрій не використовується, зберігайте його в сухому прохолодному місці.

8. Вирішення проблем

• Internal Resistance Readings Appear High at Low Voltages: If internal resistance readings seem unusually high, reinstall the battery. This can often provide a more accurate measurement.
• Пристрій не вмикається: Ensure the Type-C power cable is securely connected to a functional 5V DC power source. Try a different cable or adapter if necessary.
• Батарею не виявлено: Verify that the battery is correctly inserted with the correct polarity and that it is a compatible 18650 flat-top lithium battery.
