Hyperion NET & DUO Series 3 Chargers - User Manual

 

v4.6+ firmware versions.  Visit http://media.hyperion.hk/dn/eos for the newest manuals, firmware, and EOS SUITE PC software 

 

Warnings: 

 

EOS chargers are carefully designed with many built-in safety features, such as 

reverse polarity protection, input voltage error warning, and cell-count 

mismatch warnings for lithium chemistry batteries.  HOWEVER, IT IS THE 

RESPONSIBILITY OF THE USER TO INSURE THAT THE CHARGER IS 

CONFIGURED AND USED IN A SAFE MANNER IN PROPER ENVIRONMENT.  

 

CAUTIONS

 

 

 

Always be sure that the charger is properly configured for the correct 
battery type. 

ALWAYS

 power charger ON 

before you attach a 

battery to output or balance connectors

 

Be SURE

 that your lithium battery pack balance connector matches 

the multi-adapter type connected to the charger. 

 

SYNC MODE charging should start with packs at near equal discharge 
states (see more details in text) 

 

Be sure that the batteries you charge are capable of charging at the 
current (A) rate you select 

 

Never charge batteries unattended 

 

Charge only in a fire-resistant environment, non-flammable surfaces 

such as on concrete or brick  

 

Do not charge near easily flammable materials 

 

Do not charge batteries inside a model 

 

Charging outdoors is strongly recommended 

 

Use only high-quality gold 4mm bullet connectors for charge output 

cable connection to the charger.  See “setup” 

 

Properly insulate and regularly inspect all connectors to eliminate the 

possibility of short circuit.  Damage caused by output short circuit is 
not covered by warranty. 

 

Never allow the charger case to contact an AC/DC power supply case 

while powered 

 

Do not drop or cause other shock to the charger, nor subject it to 
moisture, condensation or liquids 

 

Do not attempt to charge battery packs made from different types of 
cells, a mixture of old and new cells, or cells made with chemistry not 

supported by the EOS charger 

 

NEVER attempt to charge “non-rechargeable” cells 

 

Do not open the case of the charger under any circumstances.  Doing 
so will void the warranty 

 

Keep the charger away from children or pets at all times.

 

 

NEVER ATTEMPT TO CHARGE A SINGLE BATTERY ACROSS 

BOTH PORTS of a DUO charger or 2x NET chargers. 

(example:  

a “single unit” 10S pack) DOING SO WILL DAMAGE THE CHARGER, 
BATTERY, AND WILL VOID YOUR WARRANTY.  

 

PUT SAFETY AHEAD OF ALL OTHER CONSIDERATIONS! 

HIGH RISK CHARGING ADVISORY

 

Avoid charging batteries indoors. If you must charge indoors, or any place injury 

or damage to property could occur in the event of fire, then be sure to: 

* Keep battery well away from flammables (2 meters or more) 
* Contain battery in a heavy fireproof container (such as a brick box) 

* Always monitor the charge

1 - Net3-AD has internal AC power supply, or can be connected to DC supply instead (but not both together!). All others are DC-input only. 

2 – All DUO series chargers are already internally networked for SYNC of two packs.  All NET chargers can SYNC by connecting two of the same 
series NET chargers together, with option cable# HP-EOS0610-MSC.  For large flight packs, SYNC MODE balance charging of two SEPARATED (split) 
packs can be used. After charging, the split packs are series-wired to make the flight pack, like 8S, 9S, 10S, etc…  
(so 2x2S=4S up to 2x14S=28S series-wired flight packs are possible, depending on specs of the EOS charger(s) used to SYNC charge)
