Model 8510
Functionality:
ChargingbeginswhenthechargerisconnectedtotheDTR
®
8510andthe
powerswitchisintheOFFposition.TheLEDwillbeorangebeforethe
fastchargestarts.TheLEDwillchangetoredwhenthefastchargecycle
begins.Whenthecellsarefullychargedandthevoltagedrops(because
ofthe-dVsignalfromthecells),thechargerwillgointoatop-offcharge
modebeforeswitchingtotricklechargemode.
Duringthetop-offchargesession,theLEDwillbegreenwithshort,inter-
mittentorangeashes.Whenthetop-offchargeiscomplete,thecharger
willgointotricklechargemode,changing the LED color togreen.The
chargecurrentisnowreducedtoasafelevel.However,tricklechargingin
excessof12hoursonroutinebasiscouldbedamagingforNiMHbatteries.
Ifthesafetytimerdisconnectsbefore-dV,thetop-offchargewillnotbe
engaged.Thechargerwillthengodirectlytotricklechargemodeandthe
LEDwillturngreen.Ifthebatteryvoltageisfarbelownormal,thecharger
willstopthefastchargecurrentandswitchtotricklechargemode.The
LEDwillthenindicatean"error"byickeringgreenandred.Thebattery
packsand/orthechargermayneedtobereplaced.
Ifthelinepoweristurnedoff,thechargerwillresetandstartanewcharge
cyclewhenitisturnedonagain.
