9  pulsar 3 
 
  20:20 – clock settings 
  2011-05-14 – date settings 
 
Before plugging the power supply to Pulsar 3, it is important to make sure if the memory card and the BT antenna 
(optional) are in the charger. After pressing the dial on the “SD, BT, RTC” line in the program window (we go to 
the  program  window  by holding  the  dial  from  any  memory  window)  we  are  redirected  to  the  „SD,  BT,  RTC” 
settings. 
 
Setting  the  BT  name  is  important  as  it will  let  us  recognize  our  device  easier  among other  devices  in  close 
proximity. Setting the date and time are vital for recording data on the memory card. File identification is easier 
thanks to this. 
 
WARNING: as long as Pulsar 3 is connected through an USB cable wireless transmission is disabled. 
 
The window will be exited by pressing -exit- or automatically after 10 seconds from the last dial movement.  
  
Personalizing through an SD memory card 
 
In the folder located on the card: PULSAR3/Setup there is a file named title.txt. The text written there is displayed 
in the main menu under the Pulsar 3 logo right after the chargers startup. A simple text editing program (e.g. 
Notepad) may be used to edit his text. The text may not surpass 26 characters from the English alphabet ( { ` } 
inserts  a  narrow  space).  If  the  file  isn’t  to  be  found  on  the  memory  card,  the  sign  „Pulse  charger”  will  be 
displayed. 
 
Additional information concerning the SD memory card 
 
Cards formatted in a PC (FAT16 to 2GB or FAT32 with a 4GB capacity) should be specifically used in Pulsar 3. 
After turning on the charger with an empty SD card (without a folder structure) – necessary folders will be created 
automatically: (PULSAR3 as well as BACKUP, DATA and SETUP). Such a card is ready to be used immediately.  
The card should be inserted and removed only when the charger is not plugged into a power supply! 
 
Basic setup settings 
 
Pulsar 3 has two equivalent device memory settings – Setup. One of them is marked with a battery symbol and 
the other with a power supply symbol. As both of them are identical they can be used freely. When for example 
we operate the charger only with a power supply (or only with a battery) they can be both used with different 
setup memory settings (depending on the need) with the same type of supply. 
 
Through pressing the dial for on  the “Setup”  line we enter the settings from the program window (we enter the 
program window by holding the dial from any memory window) 
 
Setup windows (shown in positive and negative) 
 
Window description 
 
  -exit- – return to memory window. 
  Beep – enable/disable acoustic signaling. 
  Pulse – enable/disable impulse work. 
  Revers – enable/disable discharging with an energy return do the supplying battery (Revers, must be turned 
off when operating with a power supply, or it may result in damaging the supply) if it is not marked, operating 
with an energy return is blocked for all memories (in a memory where the energy return was enabled, a ‘-‘ 
symbol is displayed before Revers) 
  V rev – max. battery voltage settings, after exceeding which the charge reduction will commence (Revers – 
enabled), this protects the supplying battery from overloading during the energy return, especially when a 
LiIo, LiPo or LiFe batteries are used (e.g. when supplying with 3 LiIo cells the voltage should be set to 12,4 
V, which is about 3*4,1V – see the Charging voltage table on page 7, 15V for PB). 
  Power – setting the power input: 50-1800W, in 10W intervals. This can protect weaker power sources and 
batteries from overcharging. 
  T on – setting the temperature from which the process is enabled: 25-55°C (‘-C’ disabling the function). 
  T off – setting the temperature from which the process is stopped: 38-60°C (‘-C’ disabling the function, the 
temperature set in T off must be at least 5°C higher than T on). 
  V off – min. supply battery voltage below which the process will be stopped (his protects the battery from 
deep discharge): 9-12V for 12V batteries and 18-24V and 36-48V for 24V and 48V batteries.
