4. Charge settings
Before the charge process is started, the charge
current and the cell count must be set correctly
on the Lithium charger itself.
The maximum charge current which the Top
Equalizer can process is 10 Amps.
5. Charge / equalize procedure
• Start the charge process on the Lithium
charger.
• By connecting the charge and voltage sensor
lead you switch the unit to "Individual mode".
Press the "Mode" button to complete the con-
nection to the charger. The "monitor LED"
now responds with a series of single rhythmic
flashes to indicate that "Connection mode" is
invoked.
• The Check-LEDs for the outputs to which
cells are connected flash three times to con-
firm the cell count.
• The Equalizer now measures the voltage of
the individual cells. If the cell voltages differ,
the unit reduces the charge current fed to the
cell(s) whose voltage is higher. It continues to
do this over the course of the charge process,
thereby equalizing the pack, i.e. bringing the
voltage of the individual cells to the same
level.
• To indicate which cell is currently being pro-
cessed by the Top Equalizer, the "Check-LED"
assigned to that cell glows. The LED may light
up briefly or for a longer time, according to the
magnitude of the cell voltage difference.
6. Charge termination
• The Lithium charger switches off the charge
process when the battery reaches the pre-set
final charge voltage.
• In most cases the cells are equalized accura-
tely while the charge process is under way. If
this is the case, you will see that the Check-
LEDs only flash sporadically.
The charging and equalizing process is now
complete.
• The Lithium battery should be disconnected
from the Top Equalizer soon after the charge
process is terminated. If you do not do this,
the unit will continue to equalize the cells, and
this discharges them slightly.

7. Description of the equalizing process and
the Check-LED indicators
The flashing rhythm of the Check-LEDs is an
excellent guide to the voltage of the cells in the
pack.
LED off:
Cell with the lowest voltage in the pack.
LED flashing:
Cell voltage differs only slightly from the cell
with the lowest voltage.
LED lights up for a long time, or continuously:
Cell voltage differs significantly from that of the
lowest cell.
• After the charge process has been termina-
ted it is possible that individual Check-LEDs
will continue to flash sporadically, but this
will only occur in the case of high-capacity
batteries, and / or packs with serious voltage
differences. If you switch the Top Equalizer
to "Individual mode" (by pressing the Mode
button), the battery can be left connected to
the unit. In this mode the unit continues to
equalize (balance) the pack by discharging
the individual cells as required.
• In extreme cases - defective cell, very high
battery capacity, substantial voltage diffe-
rence between individual cells - the equali-
zing function may not come to a halt even in
Individual mode. If this should occur, the Top
Equalizer will prevent the cells becoming
deep-discharged by switching automatically
to current-saving mode when any one cell
falls to 2.75 Volts. In this case the battery
should be recharged again as soon as pos-
sible.
Note:
If you do not switch to "Individual mode" by
pressing the Mode button after switching the
Lithium charger off, the unit starts to equalize
the individual cells by discharging them, even
when left in "Connection mode".
