Device description
Pulsar 3 is a fast, professional battery charger with an integrated balancer. A newly designed synchronic digital
converter operates with precision and efficiency unmatched by other devices of similar type due to the DSP
(Digital Signal Processor) control. Power, work precision and ease of use were the key focus during the device’s
construction. The newest technology, rarely used in model chargers, guarantees an optimal operation of battery
packages. Impulse work in the reflex mode prevents the memory effect and the lazy battery effect in NiXX
batteries as well as lessens the threat of unbalancing in LiXX batteries. The real impulse mode “Fastmod” for Lixx
and Pb batteries can shorten the charge time even by 30-40%. The integrated high-powered balancer equalizes
the packages in a very short time, without unnecessary prolonging the process, thus keeping the singular cells’
voltage perfectly equalized. The multiple algorithms operating simultaneously, which detect the level of the cells’
voltage, as well as the capacity limiter and an integrated temperature indicator, protect the packages from
overloading and damaging. The processes’ parameters can be seen on the backlit graphic displayer. The self-
explanatory single Rotary knob, as well as twenty integrated memory banks enable frequently used processes to
be chosen faster, make for easier operation. An SD memory card enables recording the data from all of the
processes, which can then be analyzed via the Pulsar Graph program on a PC or notebook, and helps detect
damage earlier. By analyzing diagrams containing the gathered data, it enables tracing the charging packages’
ageing. Updated data from the process undertaken are sent to a PC through USB or radio data transmission
system (BT), which may in the future send data to cell phones. The charger protects batteries from deep
discharge as well as overloading by controlling the charging batteries’ (12, 24 and 48V) parameters, thus
protecting them from damage. A separate AC adapter with a power limiter enables to adapt the work parameters
to a particular charger. Pulsar 3 is protected from reverse connection both at input and output. Pulsar 3, as one
of the few modeling chargers, is equipped with a system that prevents electric arcing when high voltage packs are
plugged in. The device’s firmware update also is possible via the Internet.
