!WARNING NOTES
•Only use the PCC to charge
•Avoid any contact of your PCC with water or other liquids.
•Never cover the cooling slots on the PCC. Only place your PCC on constant- temperature surfaces. Never place on carpets or cloths.
•Never allow the PCC to operate without supervision and never keep your PCC connected to a power supply, car battery or battery pack when it is not in use.
•Only charge serially switched battery packs containing 1 to 8 cells. Never charge parallel switched cells.
SPECIAL FEATURES
PCS-2 (Peak Capacity System):
The voltage charge curve of NiMH cells may vary considerably at the start of charging due to cell construction. Conventional chargers interpret this incorrectly as delta peak reached and terminate the charging process (false peak). The PCC includes the
Auto Restart System:
As a worldwide innovation, the PCC continues to charge after the input voltage fails and displays the duration of the power failure if it last longer than 3 mins. A total power failure at races is no rarity and this feature allows you to fully charge your battery packs within the remaining time at increased charge current. The PCC keeps you informed of the length of the charge interruption. Example: “Int14min“ (for 14 min interruption) is displayed in alternating sequence.
Changing the current during a charge:
The charge current can be changed during a charge by pressing INC+ or DEC- without interrupting the process. This change in not stored. The next time you start charging, the device takes the data settings stored under “Settings”. Refer to
PWM Circuit:
The PCC ensures efficient charging through the use of the latest digital technology.
There are many benefits here:
a)maximum charge current even at low input voltage
b)maxium charge current already for
c)very low heat dissipation
d)more charges out of a car battery since the charger has a higher efficiency
Autostart Timer:
This handy feature lets you preselect when you want to start the PCC for a charge session; adjustable from 0 to 99 mins.
SETTINGS
The PCC is supplied with factory settings which you can customize in the Main menu under “Settings”. The values you change under “Settings” are stored automatically. You can compose your personal charge profile which you can retrieve at any time.
To reset your PCC to factory settings, proceed as follows:
•Disconnect input voltage
•Hold down MENU key while reconnecting the input voltage.
Dear Customer,
By purchasing the Pulsar Competition Charger (called PCC) you have selected one of the most advanced battery- and
• Blue backlit LC display with 2x16 characters
• 3 professional devices in one (charge, discharge, motor
• Multiprotection system (triple protection + integrated fan)
•Digital
•PWM circuit for efficient charging under all conditions
Don’t forget to read the complete instructions for use carefully before you start to operate the PCC. Make sure you have understood all the points.

• Always comply with the charging instructions of the battery manufacturers and matchers and never exceed their specifications (refer to the additional sheet for adjustment tips).
• Never use a power supply with more than 15 V output voltage.
Never try to operate the PCC directly from a 110/230 VAC power source! For best performance, we recommend the LRP Powersupply (#43150).
• Make sure you connect the terminals with the correct poalrity, on both the input and output sides! Red indicates the positive pole and black the negative pole.
•New chargers may produce a slight odor in the first few hours of service due to materials curing inside the device.
•If individual cells in the pack heat up excessively, immediately stop the charging process.
