User manual FUTABA CR-2000

[. . . ] If you sense an abnormality at the charger or battery during charging, immediately stop charging. If the temperature of the battery rises to 60C or higher, it is extremely dangerous. If the battery suddenly becomes hot, immediately stop charging. ·When a nickel cadmium or nickel metal hydride battery is new or has not been used for a long time, the delta peak, which is the criteria for the end of charging, will be difficult to obtain and may not be detected. If charging is continued, the battery will be overcharged and become abnormally hot and is extremely dangerous. Never charge a battery over its nominal capacity (1C). ·If a battery is charged with a current exceeding 1C, the battery will overheat and deteriorate. Do not connect two or more battery packs to one output terminal. ·It is extremely dangerous because the battery will short circuit and auto cut will not function normally. When power is taken from a car, do not operate the car ignition switch during charging. [. . . ] If the cover is forced open, the lock claw may be broken. TX/RX/GLOW LED display RX output connector TX output connector Charging output for transmitter battery. Charging output for receiver battery. GLOW output connector Charging output for glow booster battery. [Accessories] The following charging cords (3 types) are supplied with the CR-2000 set. Use these cords when charging a battery mounted in the fuselage and when charging the battery by connecting the charger to the charging jack of a transmitter. TX charging adapter (70cm) Use when connecting the charger to the charging jack of a transmitter. (+) side (+) side (red) (-) side (black) Charging adapter (50cm) (-) side Use when connecting the charger to a battery, etc. (+) side (red) (-) side (black) Do not use the accessory TX charging adapter (transmitter extension cord) with other makes of transmitter. This extension cord is designed to be used with Futaba transmitters only. ·The polarity (+, -) of the transmitter charging jack may be different. Charging adapter (200cm) *TX and RX or TX and GLOW can be charged simultaneously. *RX output and GLOW output cannot be used simultaneously. Only the GLOW side is effective even if a battery is connected to both outputs. Use when connecting the charger to a battery, etc. (+) side (red) (-) side (black) Do not modify the accessory charging adapter (extension cord). ·If shorted or connected in reverse, the CR-2000 or the battery will be abnormally heated and damaged. Charging method Avoid charging where the charger will be exposed to direct sunlight. Perform charging within the 5~40C range. ·Normal charging will become impossible and will cause abnormal heating. At the end of charging, check the peak voltage, charging amount, and other data and that the battery is about body temperature, and then disconnect the battery from the charger. [Charging current after auto cut] After auto cut, the charger automatically switches to a low charging current and continues charging. The charging current value after auto cut varies, depending on the charging current set value. 1 Power supply connection When the input cord is connected to the parent power Red supply and the power is turned on, the CR-2000 automatically starts. Connect to the + output of Black Connect to the - output of the parent power supply. Charging current set value Charging current after auto cut 0. 05-0. 45A 5mA 0. 5-2. 5A 70mA the parent power supply. (Displayed for about 2 secs) (or) *After the opening screen display, the TX data display screen appears. Plug into a car cigarette lighter socket. 2 Battery connection (TX/RX/GLOW) "CHG" LED (charging display) "TX" LED "RX" LED "GLOW" LED (Forced end) When the START button is pressed when you want to forcibly end charging midway, charging ends. At this time, the display switches to the data display screen about 5 seconds after an audible alarm (beep beep beep beep, beep beep beep beep, beep beep beep beep) sounds and the forced end screen appears. The "CHG" LED goes off. START button Steady light: Shows that data display and charging start and end operations are possible. Blinking: Shows that the charging current can be set. Receiver battery Glow booster STOP TX CHARG I NG (Data display screen) (Displayed for about 5 secs) Transmitter battery Connect the charger to the output connector matched to the type of battery to be charged. The corresponding LED in the "TX", "RX", and "GLOW" LEDs lights. The charging current setting screen is also automatically displayed. "TX", "RX", or "GLOW" is displayed according to the connected connector position. The charging current can be changed with the SELECT dial during current setting screen display. SELECT dial (Data display and charging operation output switching) Normally, when a battery is connected, its output data is automatically displayed and the charging operation by button becomes possible. [. . . ] After the data display screen output voltage display rises to about 10V, start charging by pressing the START button. Always check the charging current at the current setting screen before starting charging. Set the charging current to the nominal capacity (1C) or less of the battery. For example, for a 600mAH battery set the charging current to 0. 6A or less.
