FMA Wiring mode vs. XH/EH Wiring mode
By default, the Dual PowerLab 8x2 ships with the balance connector (output) set for
FMA’s Cellpro wiring. This wiring mode supports all Cellpro REVOLECTRIX brand
batteries and adapters directly. However, due to the proliferation of the JST XH/EH
balance connectors available on many LiPo battery packs in the R/C industry, the Dual
PowerLab also supports the popular XH/EH Wiring mode for the balance connector. In
the FMA Wiring mode, the Dual PowerLab 8x2 always expects pack + on pin 9 of the
PowerLab’s balance port on the front of the unit. When switched to XH/EH mode, the
PowerLab will look for pack + on the last wire connected to the battery pack without any
empty pins in between.
If you already own XH/EH adapters that came with another brand of charger, for
example, it’s easy to modify these to plug into the PowerLab’s balance port by cutting
the adapter’s existing balance plug off and replacing it with the Cellpro 9 position battery
pigtail (REVO PN: CPBP9P-10-US). See illustrations on the following pages.
Then, set the Dual PowerLab 8x2 to XH/EH mode using one of the following methods:
Switching to XH/EH mode at the DPL:
1. Press INC+DEC (i.e., press both INC and DEC at the same time) to display the
Options menu (Choose TASK?).
2. Press INC or DEC until you see Charger Options, then press ENTER.
3. Press ENTER until you see Node Connector?
4. Press INC or DEC until you see XH/EH Wiring on line 2 of the LCD.
5. Press and Hold BACK to return to the Preset Menu. Your changes are saved the
moment you make them.
Switching to XH/EH mode using the CCS:
1. Connect the Dual PowerLab 8x2 to the PC via the FUIM2/FUIM3 PC USB interface,
and apply power to the Dual PowerLab 8x2.
2. Once the Dual PowerLab 8x2 is communicating with the CCS, access the Options
tab.
3. Under Start Settings, pull-down on the Node Wiring= field, and select XH/EH
Wiring.
4. Click the Update button at the bottom of the CCS to save your changes to the Dual
PowerLab 8x2.
