ROBBE TOP EQUALIZER 6 S Manual De Uso página 15

12. Current drain
.
1. During the Equalizing phase the Top Equalizer
draws a current of about 15 mA once the Lithium
charger has terminated the charge process.
An additional by-pass current of about 70 mA per
output flows, but only for the period when the
LED(s) are lit.
This means in practice that very little capacity is
drawn from the battery during the equalizing pro-
cess.
2. Current-saving mode
The unit draws a current of about 0.4 mA.
13. Accessories
A voltage sensor lead must always be used with
this unit, otherwise the device will be unable to
measure the voltage of the individual cells.
Robbe Li-Poly batteries are fitted with this sensor
lead as standard. However, the sensor leads are
also available separately, enabling the user to
attach them to existing batteries:
Voltage sensor lead, 3-pole (two cells) No. 4025
Voltage sensor lead, 4-pole (three cells)No. 4026
Voltage sensor lead, 5-pole (four cells) No. 4027
Voltage sensor lead, 6-pole (five cells) No. 4028
Voltage sensor lead, 7-pole (six cells) No. 4021
14. "Slave - Master" switching
Two Top Equalizer 6S units can be connected in
series in order to equalize more than six cells
(max. twelve cells).
If the individual cell voltages are to be displayed
on the charger's screen via the Equalizer sensor,
the two units must be interconnected using a
Master - Slave link lead.
With this arrangement you must set the first unit
to "Master", the second to "Slave".

16. Safety notes
• The Top Equalizer is designed solely for
equalizing (balancing) rechargeable Lithium
and Lithium-Polymer batteries.
• It is essential to protect the unit from dust,
dirt and damp.
• Do not subject the Equalizer to excessive
heat or cold, nor to direct sunlight.
• Avoid shock and pressure loads, and do not
subject the unit to severe vibration.
• Do not place the charger and the batteries
connected to it on any form of flammable
surface. Do not operate the charger in the
vicinity of inflammable materials or gases.
• The charger should never be left operating
unsupervised.
• Ensure that there is an unrestricted airflow to
the unit's cooling slots. Never place it on a
carpet or felt surface.
• If you will not be using the Equalizer for a
protracted period, disconnect it from the
power supply and any batteries connected
to it.
• Do not charge a battery which is already
warm or hot to the touch. Allow packs to
cool down to ambient temperature before
continuing.
• Batteries to be charged as a unit must con-
sist of cells of the same make, the same type
and the same capacity.
• Do not connect two batteries to one output
for charging in parallel. Only connect one
pack to the unit at any one time.
• Take great care to maintain correct battery
polarity; and avoid short-circuits.
• Read the instructions provided by the bat-
tery and charger manufacturers, and adhere
to them strictly.
• At regular intervals check the case and
cables for damage.
