17  pulsar 3 
 
3.  Δ 58% = Current difference between resistance of the weakest and strongest cell is 17 % (if 0 
% is showed, the cell values are equal; if 100 % is showed, the cell has double value of the 
best cell).  
4.  ↓ 5,3 mΩ = Resistance of the cell with the hightest value (cell 1 in this case) 
5.  Row of numbers – singular package cells’ numbering starting from the first, plugged into the package’s 
“minus” cable  
6.  mΩ/c = Display mΩ per cell 
7.  B: 0% = current balancer power (100 % max. balancer power). Info: The values of inner resistance might 
be influenced by balancing. For this reason, the balancing power is displayed as well! 
8.  Upper line = 100 % 
9.   Middle line = 50 %  
10.  Bars – equalized capacities in bar graphics. The highest bar shows the cell (here cell 12), which required 
the greatest balancing (100%)  
11.  Singular bottom lines – balancer power level (cingular channel). The higher the line, the higher the 
balancing power of that cell is. 
12.  Single cell inner resistance = The cell with the highest and lowest resistance is marked by an arrow 
(cells 1 and 6 in this case) 
 
 
Warning!  Pulsar  3  conducts  estimates  correct  to  three  decimal  places  and  so  they  are  displayed  on  the 
computer screen. Due to the size of LCD displays, the values are rounded up to two decimal places. Because of 
this some differences may occur. 
 
Process initialization 
 
After plugging the battery, Pulsar 3 checks and displays the number of recognized cells. 
 
Warning: all packages  with  a balancing connection must always be plugged in  the following order  – first the 
balancer, then the charging cable. Thanks to this the charger will always recognize the right amount of cells in the 
package!  It is  important  to check  if the  number of  cells in  the  package has  been  properly recognized  before 
starting the process. After adjusting the number of cells, if necessary, we can start the process by pressing the 
Rotary knob. 
 
Info: If the Pulsar is connected to an LiXX battery pack without balancer, the double confirmation of cell count is 
necessary. 
 
Process end, reports and alarms 
 
Warning! Interrupting the process in progress is allowed only through holding the dial and not by unplugging the 
package! 
 
Window  after  ending  the  process,  the  displayer 
show  a  „STOP”  message  and  the  backlit  blinks 
recurrently (after manual process interruption).  An 
acoustic signal is also generated, which fades after 
30  seconds and  is turned  off after  5 minutes.  To 
start  another  process  (return  to  memory  window) 
the package must be unplugged from the charger! 
 
The window May display the following information: 
 
<*> data process – through turning or pressing the Rotary knob, last process windows will be displayed directly 
before the process’ end 
Messages (in the frame): 
END – proper process end. 
STOP – premature process end – as show on the picture above (by holding the dial). 
LIMITER – process end after reaching the capacity limit set in the limiter. 
TIMER – process end after exceeding the process’ time limit (24 hours per process). 
PAUSE – displayed automatically between processes in progress. Below it the time left before starting the next 
process is shown. If the battery temperature “T on” is higher than the one set in the setup a „Tc to high: xx,x C” 
message will be displayed until the battery cools down.  
! Δ x,xx V ! – displayed when the process, with a plugged in balancing (for LiXX cells), ends after the voltage 
difference between singular cells exceeds 50mV.  
 
Alarms – stopping the process 
 
Vc high – when the voltage of one of the cells (or package) exceeds the allowable value 
Vc low = Too low cell voltage (can possibly happen while test)  
Tc high – when the package temperature exceeds the set limit
