f) Cycle Programme ("CYCLE")
To test rechargeable batteries, form new rechargeable batteries or refresh older rechargeable batteries, you can per-
form up to 5 cycles in sequence automatically. The two possible combinations are "Charge/Discharge" ("CHG>DCHG")
and "Discharge/Charge" ("DCHG>CHG").
The values that you have set in the charging programme ("CHARGE") or discharging programme
("DISCHARGE") are used as charging or discharging current.
Proceed as follows:
• Set the rechargeable battery type as described in chapter 12. a) (NiMH or
NiCd) and select the rechargeable battery programme "CYCLE".
The set rechargeable battery type is shown in the upper left of the display,
and the rechargeable battery programme next to it.
The display in the lower left represents the corresponding combination "Charging/discharging" ("CHG>DCHG") or
"Discharging/charging" ("DCHG>CHG"), the lower right shows the number of currently set cycles.
Use the buttons "INC." and "DEC." to select a different rechargeable battery programme; use the button
"BATT. TYPE/STOP" to return to the main menu.
• If any other cycle mode is to be selected or if you would like to set the number of cycles, briey push the button
"START/ENTER". The display "CHG>DCHG" or "DCHG>CHG" ashes.
• With the buttons "INC." or "DEC.", select the desired order in cycle operation:
"CHG>DCHG" = Charge + then discharge
"DCHG>CHG" = Discharge + then charge
• Briey push the button "START/ENTER"; the number of cycles ashes (how often the currently set sequence of
charging/discharging or discharging/charging is performed).
• Set the cycle number with the buttons "INC." and "DEC." (1 - 5 cycles are possible).
• Briey push the "START/ENTER" button to conrm the setting. The display stops ashing.
• To start cycle operation, keep the "START/ENTER" button pressed for longer (approx. 3 seconds).
If the settings are wrong, or if the charger detects a problem, an audio signal is emitted and the appropriate
information is shown in the display. You can stop the warning signal by pressing the "BATT. TYPE/STOP"
button. The charger then returns to the previous conguration menu.
The display shows, e.g., the following data while charging or discharging:
The rechargeable battery type is shown in the upper left ("NiMH" = NiMH
rechargeable battery), the upper middle shows the charging or discharging
current and the upper right the current rechargeable battery voltage.
The lower left shows the selected cycle operation ("C>D" = Charge/discharge, "D>C" = Discharge/charge), the
middle shows the elapsed charging or discharging duration and the right next to it the charged or discharged
capacity in mAh.
• Once cycle operation has been completed, an audio signal is emitted (if it has not been turned off).
To interrupt cycle operation, push the button "BATT. TYPE/STOP".
