Delta-q IC650 - Battery Safety Information

4.1 USB Host Port 4.2 Display Panel
This is a new feature for any industrial battery
charger and an original patent-pending Delta-Q
innovation. The Universal Serial Bus (USB)
host port on the IC650 Charger is used when
configuring or retrieving data from the charger.
The USB host port accepts standard USB flash
drives that are readily available at most office
supply or electronic stores.
Data that is retrieved from a charger can be
transferred to and viewed on a Windows-based
computer running Delta-Q’s IC Programmer and
Data Analysis software tool.
Using the software tool, a USB Flash Drive can
also be configured to program charger settings or
update charger software. This enables operators
to easily update charger software and/or settings,
on a production line or in the field, without a
custom handheld diagnostic tool or computer.
A rubber cover seals this USB port against the
elements. The port itself is sealed against water
and dust.
See the section “Conguring the IC650 Charger
Using a USB Flash Drive” for more information.
IMPORTANT: Only directly-connected USB
flash drives (single partition, FAT formatted) are
compatible with the USB host port on the Delta-Q
IC650 Charger. Other USB devices may not
function.
On the right side of the charger interface is a
display panel area containing three items:
1. Charging Output Indicator
2. Charge Profile / Error Display
3. Select Charge Profile Button
The Charging Output Indicator is solid yellow
when the charger is outputting power. This is
meant to clearly show when the charger is active,
so that appropriate safety precautions can be
taken if the charger is to be handled.
The Charge Profile / Error Display shows the
current charge profile, or the fault or error
condition the charger is currently experiencing.
The Select Charge Profile Button is pressed to
view the currently active charging profile. It is
also used to select a new charge profile from
those loaded on the charger. See the “Selecting a
Charge Profile” section for the full procedure.
