IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS

The following precautions will help to prevent possible damage to the Ionic charger, the

battery pack, or the input power source.

• Charge only nickel-cadmium or nickel-metal hydride rechargeable battery packs––

Damage will occur from charging other battery types

(lead-acid, lithium-ion, gel cells, etc.).

• Never allow water, moisture, or other foreign materials to enter Ionic charger.

• Do not use automobile battery chargers to power the Ionic––False peaks can occur,

and excessive voltage spikes can damage the Ionic.

• Do not obstruct air intake on top of Ionic––Overheating/thermal shut down will occur.

• Do not charge batteries with fewer than 4, or more than 8 cells––connected in series.

• Do not charge battery packs connected in parallel––Batteries will be damaged.

•

Enhanced-voltage

(“zapped”)

batteries charge erratically––Consult the battery matching

company for charging recommendations.

•

Excessive charge current can damage batteries––Follow battery maker recommendations.

• Never exceed 15 volts DC input power source to power the Ionic.

• Never connect AC voltage to the DC input power connector of the Ionic.

• Gases from a lead-acid battery may ignite if sparks occur when connecting or dis-

con

necting the Ionic’s alligator clips––Using a lead-acid battery as a power source may

generate

hydrogen gas and should only be used in a well ventilated area. Avoid open

flames and sparks which may ignite battery gases.

NEVER START THE ENGINE WHEN CHARGER IS CONNECTED TO A CAR’S BATTERY!

PLEASE FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY

DC OPERATION & CONNECTION

OPERATION

MANUAL

INPUT POWER SOURCE VOLTAGE

should be 1.5V above the voltage the battery pack peaks.

Example 1: (6 cell Ni-Cd pack peak-voltage≈10.5 volts) + (1.5 volts) = 12 volts DC

Example 2: (8 cell transmitter pack peak-voltage≈13.0 volts) + (1.5 volts) = 14.5 volts DC***

Remember that older battery packs peak at higher voltages.

NOTE: 8 CELL CHARGING REQUIRES 14.5VDC POWER SUPPLY––If adequate voltage is not available,

the charger will not allow the selection of 8 cells during set-up.

***If power supply’s voltage is not high enough to peak battery, charge 8 cell packs as two, 4 cell packs.

DC INPUT POWER CONNECTOR is on the left side

of the Ionic’s case. The supplied Input

Power Harness has a matching connector on it that plugs directly into the Ionic’s connector.

The input power connector in the charger has

3 pins (see case bottom for pin polarity). When

looking at the bottom of the charger, the two pins toward the back of the charger are the

positive (+) connections. The center pin is for the built-in power supply that comes in the

AC/DC model only. The top pin is for an External/Aux. power supply that outputs 12-15 volts

DC. The pin closest to the front of the charger is the common negative (–).

ACCEPTABLE INPUT POWER SOURCES:

DC power supply*

(built-in or Aux)

or lead-acid battery**

*Output current of power source should meet/exceed desired charge rate.

**Connect input power harness to lead-acid battery before connecting harness to Ionic.

If using Ionic with an External/Aux. power supply, cut and strip the wires of included input

power harness to the desired length and secure them to the output terminal screws of the

12-15 volt DC power supply.

• Connect the wire that goes to the Ionic’s External/Aux. positive (+) pin to the power

supply’s positive (+) DC output terminal.

• Connect the wire that goes to the Ionic’s negative (–) pin to the power supply’s negative

(–) DC output terminal.

If using Ionic with a lead-acid battery or power supply with post-style output terminals,

solder the included alligator clips to the included input power harness

•

Solder the wire that goes to the Ionic’s External/Aux. positive (+) pin to the RED alligator clip.

• Solder the wire that goes to the Ionic’s negative (–) pin to the BLACK alligator clip.

CHARGER SET-UP & OPERATION

Follow these easy steps to set-up your Ionic charger and charge your batteries:

AC Operation (AC/DC version only): Connect the built-in power supply’s output to the DC

input connector. Connect the included AC power cord to the AC input of the built-in

power supply and to an AC outlet.

Ionic will go through a quick self-check sequence during which the keypad LEDs will

flash, then the LEDs will display the charger’s present mode, current, & cell# settings.

DC Operation (either version Ionic): Connect an External/Aux. power supply to the DC input

power connector

(AC/DC version: disconnect the built-in supply’s DC input connector).

2. Check that output leads are properly connected to charger––The polarity of the output

leads is marked on the front edge of the bottom of the Ionic’s case.

• Connect the RED output lead to the blade connector marked POSITIVE (+).

• Connect the BLUE output lead to the NEGATIVE (–) blade connector.

3. Connect the charger output leads to battery pack.

• Connect the RED output lead to battery POSITIVE (+).

• Connect the BLUE output lead to battery NEGATIVE (–).

4. Select charger settings for battery pack to be charged:

(refer to RECOMMENDED SETTINGS section)

• ENTER SET-UP MODE––Press SELECT button to enter the set-up mode.

• SELECT CHARGE MODE––Press SELECT button to choose either Ni-Cd or Ni-MH2 charge

mode––Then press ENTER button to select the mode whose LED is illuminated.

• SELECT CHARGE CURRENT––Press SELECT button to choose 0.5, 1.0, or 4.0 Amps––

Then press ENTER button to select the charge current whose LED is illuminated.

• SELECT # OF CELLS IN BATTERY PACK––Press SELECT button to choose 4, 5, 6, 7, or 8

cells (8 cells only available with Aux. 14.5VDC supply)––Then press ENTER button to select

the number of cells whose LED is illuminated and exit the set-up mode.

5. Press START/ENTER button to begin charging––CHGR ON LED lights and the battery

pack is analyzed. After few seconds the CHGR ON LED flashes 3 times and charging

begins

(If CHGR ON LED does not flash, pack is being conditioned and charge will begin when finished)

6. Ionic indicates battery is completely charged––CHGR ON LED flashes then all the LEDs

scroll on across the keypad. This sequence indicates the battery pack has peaked and is

completely charged. Press ENTER button to acknowledge or remove battery pack.
