This fully automatic cycling/matching function allows you to determine the actual performance of your packs. Battery packs

change during their life span or different batteries may vary slightly. Use the Pulsar Touch to detect the actual quality of your

pack,.this prevents nasty surprises.

The „Cycle“ function can of course be used for all types of cells.

The “Cycle” mode uses the charge and discharge values of the currently selected programm, stored under “SETUP” and

is of course fully adjustable in regards of sequence and pause/delay times between the different operations of the cycle

function as well.

At the end of the process, the packs „performance“ will be indicated to you by informing you about:

- Discharge Capacity in mAh

- Discharge Time

- Average Voltage during discharging

- Internal resistance

The Pulsar Touch incorporates, as the first charger, a fantastic feature which allows you to check your brushless motors sensors and even measure motor rpm! In combination with the built-in receiver simulator port you can even check speed-controls for correct

function. The receiver simulator port also allows the check of servo‘s.

the indicated black box is your „trigger“ (throttle or steering), you can drag it left &

right with your finger and therefore alter the PWM output of the receiver simulator

port which.

„OK“ indicates that the hall-sensors inside your

connected brushless motor work fine.

After connecting your motor to the sensor port,

you can rotate the shaft by hand.

Here the measured RPM, when testing together

with a speed-control will be indicated. Very

useful to check your motor and/or speed-control

for correct operation!

DISCHARGE - explanations:

Discharge Current: The discharge current can be set from 0.1 - 20.0A and 35A pulse. If not otherwise specified by the

battery manufacturer, the max. discharge current can be set to 20.0A for racing cells (Sub-C size) in LiPo, LiFe and NiMH

technology.

However, lower grade cells and receiver-/transmitter battery packs you should use a lower the discharge current and should

follow your battery manufacturer‘s recommmendations.

Cut-Off Voltage: The cut-off voltage can be adjusted for all types and numbers of cells. We recommend a cut-off voltage

of 0.9V/cell with NiMH/NiCd-batteries and 3.2V/cell with LiPo-batteries.

As an example: - 5.4V for a 6-cell NiMH/NiCd-pack

- 6.4V for a 2S LiPo-pack.

Temperature: by using the optional temperature sensor, you can set a maximum temperature which the battery is not

allowed to reach during discharging. If battery reaches that temperature, the discharge process will be stopped.

Connections: make sure you use high-quality wire and connectors for maximum accuracy, a poor connector or poor wire

may create heat and affect the accuracy,

Discharge Wattage limitation: the discharge wattage is limited to 150W (Watts = Voltage x Current / e.g. for

7.4Vx20A = 148W)), this means packs with higher then 7.4V can not be discharged with 20A but the charger will automati-

cally set the highest possible current by itself during discharging.

The adjustable high-performance discharge circuit (0.1 to 20.0A + 35A Pulse discharge) can be used for 1-14 cell NiMH/NiCd- and 1-4 cell Lixx-packs. The Pulsar Touch informs you about all the data relating to the battery pack, e.g. discharge time, capacity, average

voltage and internal resistance.

By discharging your battery pack on the Pulsar Touch after use, you obtain vital information about remaining capacity for optimizing your motor or gear ratio for the next run. This also maintains your battery packs in good condition.

your charger checks if all

connections and the battery

itself are ok and if discharge

process can be started.

the choosen settings will be

indicated to avoid incorrect

settings for the battery you

want to discharge.

Cancel the operation by pres-

sing X in upper right corner!

DISCHARGE - further screens:

During running discharge process there is additional information available, by pressing „NEXT“ button you may access those.

The available screens are (you jump to next by pressing „NEXT“ again):

- Voltage of each cell in pack (if balancer is used!), for description see section „Balancer“.

- Internal resistance of each cell in pack (if balancer is used!), for description see section „Balancer“.

- Data View screens, , for description see section „View Last Data“.

You can simply balance your 2S to 4S LiPo- and LiFePo-batteries using the integrated balancer. The Pulsar Touch indicates

voltage and internal resistance for each cell in your pack.

Automatic Cycle. as adjusted in Setup, the screens look identical

as during regular charge- or discharge operation but additional text

reminds you that you are in „Cycle“ mode.

Connection - Servo Test:

connect a brushless motor direct to the „BL Mo-

tor Sensor Port“ using a standard brushless motor

sensor wire.

The sensor check is simple as the sensors get

measured while you rotate the shaft by hand!

motor RPM measurement can only work by

using an optional „hall sensor wire splitter“.

You can of course connect your motor and

speed-control as in normal use to check your

speed-controls and motors condition but you

simply get no RPM indication.

MOTOR - ESC - SERVO CHECK - explanations:

Battery Connection: if you want to check full function of your motor and/or

speed-control you need to connect your regular battery to the speed-control as the

Pulsar Touch

doesn‘t provide the high power to the speed-control but only the si

gnals!

Speed Control Setup: you need to make your regular speed-control setup, so

the speed-control learns the Pulsar Touch‘s neutral, full throttle and full brake points,

if you want to check your speed-control.

Speed Control On/Off Switch: some speed-controls need to have on/off

switch in Off position, when connecting to Pulsar Touch (as it supplies it‘s own BEC!).

So please make sure you test with switch in „OFF“ position first and if all works as

it should this is fine for your speed-control. If your speed-control is dark when in off

position, you should try on „ON“ positino.

BL Motor RPM Measurement: motor RPM measurement can only work by

using an optional „hall sensor wire splitter“.LRP will release such an optional small

device. You can of course connect your motor and speed-control as in normal use

to check your speed-controls and motors condition but you simply get no RPM in-

dication.

Connections: make sure you use high-quality wire and connectors for maximum

accuracy, a poor connector or poor wire may create heat and affect the accuracy,
