Specifications subject to change without notice.

SET Battery Type: The QUADRA PRO 3 can charge pretty much any type of cell (LiPo, LiFePo, LiIo, NiMH, NiCd, Pb) and

incorporates the designated charge algorithms for each particular cell type for best performance, reliability and safety.

Lixx + Pb  charging using the CC/CV-charging method. With this charging method, the battery gets charged with

a constant current first. As soon as the battery voltage reaches the max. allowed charging voltage per cell

(for example, LiPo 4.2V and LiFePo 3.7V), the charger automatically reduces the charging current till the

battery is fully charged.

NiMH/NiCd  charging with constant current + delta-peak detection. This is the most popular charging method for

NiMH/NiCd-batteries in competition.

Caution: Always choose the correct BATTERY TYPE setting for the battery you want to charge, as wrong setting may result

in damage to the battery, fire or explosion!

SET Charge Current: The charge current can be set from 0.1 to 5.0A. If not otherwise specified by the battery manuf-

acturer, choose 0.5C charge rate which is always a safe value!

SET Charge Delta Peak: With NiMH/NiCd-batteries, you only obtain the optimum battery performance by slightly

„overcharging“ the battery. In real terms, it will not be overcharged, but charged to an optimum level. The battery voltage

drops at the end of the charging process (delta). The size of the drop (delta peak) is adjustable in the range between 5 - 200mV.

The higher the value, the hotter the battery will be at the end of the charge. We recommend to start with the works-default

settings.

Note: The adjustable Delta-Peak value applies to the whole battery pack and not to one single cell!

SET Charge Trickle: This current, which flows after delta peak cutoff, is adjustable from 0.0A to 0.25A to achieve

the highest possible voltage for NiCd cells. Set this function to „Off“

for NiMH cells.

SET Charge Lixx/Pb Volt (pack voltage): The packs rated

voltage for LiPo/LiFePo/LiIo and Pb-batteries must be set according to

the packs rating. See table on right side.

* C=Nominal capacity of the battery. E.g. with a nominal capacity of 3300mAh

(3.3Ah), the battery can be charged with a max. current of 3.3A:

DISCHARGE

The adjustable discharge circuit (0.1 to 1.0A) can be used for 1-14 cell NiMH/NiCd- and 1-6 cell Lixx/Pb-packs. The QUADRA

PRO 3 informs you about all the data relating to the battery pack, e.g. discharge time, capacity and average voltage.

By discharging your battery pack on the QUADRA PRO 3 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.

SET Discharge Current: The discharge current can be set from 0.1 - 1.0A.

SET Discharge Voltage: The cut-off voltage can be adjusted from 0.9 - 14.0V depending on the number of cells. We

recommend a cut-off voltage of 0.9V/cell with NiMH/NiCd-, 3.0V/cell with LiPo-and 2.6V/cell with LiFePo-batteries.

This means for example: - 5.4V for 6-cell NiMH/NiCd - 6.0V for a 2-cell LiPo - 5.2V. for a 2-cell LiFePo

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

them. Battery packs change during their life span. Use the QUADRA PRO 3 to detect the actual quality of your packs. This

prevents nasty surprises.

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

pack is first discharged, then charged and finally discharged. At the end of the process, the pack capacity and the average

discharge voltage are displayed.

There is a short delay in the timer during cycle operation, in order not to overheat the batteries, which is as following:

- Initial Discharge -> Charge: 1min (if discharge was finished within 10min), otherwise 5min

- Charge -> Discharge: 1min (if charge was finished within 10min), otherwise 5min

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

CONNECTIONS / OPERATION

The QUADRA PRO 3 was developed with the main objective placed on easy operation of all features. Intuitive navigation

by means of 4 buttons makes it very easy to use and the 2-line blue backlit LC display offers perfect, reliable control of all

settings and functions.

OUTPUT JACKET: connect battery to be

charged to the 4.0mm jacket, using supplied

charge wires.

Caution: Be careful with correct polarity!

BUTTONS:

RECOMMENDED SETTINGS

The crossed-out wheeled bin means that within the European Union the product must be taken to seperate

collection at the product end-of-life. Do not dispose of these products as unsorted municipal waste.

(black wire) is always on the far right side of the plug as shown on drawing.

The balancer equalises the cells, during charge- and balance-function, which

results in higher performance and higher cycle-life.

Caution: Avoid incorrect connection as in the worst case this may result in

damage to the battery and/or charger!
