INTELLIGENT BATTERY CHARGER FOR V-LOCK LITHIUM ION BATTERIES ONLY Model CVS4X OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Revision 1.0 www.blueshape.
Please read these instructions concerning your safety BLUESHAPE lithium-ion battery chargers have been designed to provide a superior performance by managing relatively high currents during their operation in order to reduce charging time. As may be expected, the chargers become warm during operation and it is therefore very important to keep their ventilation openings unobstructed. Moreover, please follow the safety instructions below. - - Protect the equipment from humid environments.
The user is being alerted of the importance of going through the literature accompanying this product and familiarising himself with the important safety and operating instructions, included. BLUESHAPE CHARGERS ARE INTENDED FOR OPERATION WITH LINE VOLTAGES BETWEEN 100V AND 240V AC AND LINE FREQUENCIES BETWEEN 43Hz AND 60 Hz The equipment is being supplied with a compatible AC mains power cord. In the case when the UK plug is fitted, this plug is equipped with a 13A replaceable fuse.

Introduction The BLUESHAPE series of intelligent lithium ion battery chargers has been specifically designed for fast and reliable charging of the BLUESHAPE V-lock battery range. All charger models are capable of delivering up to 4.9Amps in constant current mode making them particularly suitable to users who require a fast turnaround from their batteries. For the users’ convenience, the external dimensions have been kept as compact as possible for better portability.
IPCS and fast charging The BLUESHAPE CVS4X charger features the highest charging current for a Li-Ion charger in the broadcasting sector. This results in currently the shortest possible battery charging time. BLUESHAPE Li-Ion BV battery series allow fast charging due to several intrinsic features such as pre-charge protection and cell balancing; avoiding cell damage and life-cycle shortening, as demonstrated by the life-cycle performances.
CTP: flexibility of operation and charger reliability Due to the high charging currents developed by the CVS4X charger, heat control is an issue for a travel charger, especially if the travel charger is used in potentially hot environments such as inside a car or a van.
Operating Instructions This charger can take up to 4 batteries and charges them as follows: - the channel pair 1-2 (left side of the charger) is independent from pair 3-4 (right side). The charge is managed simultaneously between the two pairs.
CVS4X BV070 BV100 BV140 BV175 BV210 1) Push and hold the button in the direction of the arrow 2) Pull out the battery in the direction of arrow Please note that: If the battery is installed on the same side of the battery on charge, it will only start charging when the first one has finished charging. If the battery is installed on the opposite side, it will start charging immediately and independently. The LEDs will always display the correct status of the charging process for each battery.
Battery LED indications # OPERATING MODE TIMEOUT LED INDICATION BATTERY DETECTION 1 Battery detected while the other on the same pair is already charging BATTERY WAITING: GREEN: 1sec ON/1sec OFF BATTERY NOT ALLOWED 10Kohm < ID resistor < 60Kohm BATTERY NOT ALLOWED: GREEN: 500ms/RED: 500ms 2 BATTERY EVALUATION i) Total pack voltage < 8000mV VOLTAGE TOO LOW: RED flashing 500ms ON/500ms OFF ii) I < 10mA If the charging does not rise within 30sec, the battery does not accept 3 charge 4 BATTERY FAIL
AUX output LED indications # 1 OPERATING MODE The AUX output is correctly powered up: 10mA < I < 8.2A LED INDICATION AUX OK: AUX LED Steady GREEN The AUX is self-protected if a load is connected and an SHORT-CIRCUIT: 2 excessive current is absorbed: AUX LED Steady ORANGE I > 8.2A An Overload condition may occur when the AUX is powered up and an excessive current is drained as follow: i) 8.2A < I < 9.5A, for 30sec OVERLOAD1: AUX LED+BAT2+BAT4 Steady RED ii) 9.

Notes concerning charger usage with BLUESHAPE battery packs It is recommended that users always have at least another spare battery readily available. It is preferable to charge batteries immediately before use. Some loss from self-discharge would result if the batteries are charged several weeks in advance of their intended use.
Warranty BLUESHAPE chargers are warranted to be free from defects in materials, workmanship and functionality for a period of 12 months commencing from the date of purchase. This warranty shall not apply to any products or parts of, that have been subjected to misuse, negligence, accidental or abnormal conditions of operation. The buyer should always contact the place of purchase for any return of defective product.
