3. Operation Introduction:
Please connect TC66(C) to power charger first before connecting the load. There are
eight pages by default. After power on, it resumes the active page before the last power off.
Short press K1 or K2 to navigate previous /next page. Long press K2 to enter or exit
sub-menu.
(Note: this instruction corresponds to the V1.10 version of firmware. Please refer to chapter
4.3 for firmware update)

K: Data group number
L: Load impedance value
M: Power measurement value
N: Current flow direction
At this page, press and hold K1 to clear the current data group value including. Press and
hold K2 to switch between data group, When data groups 1 selected the current mAh and
mWh are saved after power off. They will continue accumulating the next time the tester is
2
powered on. When the data group 0 is selected, the current value of mAh and mWh will be
temporarily saved at power off. When the device is next powered on these values will be
recalled and display in blinking. When the accumulated mAh exceeds 1 mAh, the previous
data will be cleared and accumulation will restart.
3.2 Offline Recording Page as Picture 3-2

storage data. After clearing recording data, you can change the recording interval time,
recording interval time cannot be changed with recorded data. After power off, the recording
will be automatically suspended. Press and hold K2 to exist setting. Press K2 to enter quick
charge recognition interface.
3.3Quick Charge Recognition Page as Picture 3-3
T: D +: (DP) data positive signal level.
U: D-: (DM), data negative signal level.
V: Current charging mode display
D+ and D- value are just for reference, not very
accuracy. The product will automatically identify a
device with a supported fast charging mode. At this time
the device supports the QC2.0 、 QC3.0 、 Apple 2.4A/2.1A/ 1A/0.5A 、 Android DCP 、
Samsung.(Note: This quick charge agreement recognition model is not complete and for
reference only, we will add other protocol in the future）
Press K2 to enter quick charge protocol detection Interface.
3.4 Quick Charge Protocol Detection Page as Picture 3-4
At this page, press and hold K2 button, it will show warning “DANGEROUS”. Then press
K1, and detection will begin. After detection, the supported protocol
is shown in green the supported protocol is shown in red. The
Current protocols supporting automatic detection include QC2.0,
3
QC3.0, Huawei FCP, Huawei SCP, Samsung AFC and PD. (Please look forward to more never
protocol detection. This operation will make the USB-C port output high voltage, please unplug
the load when using this this function)
Press K2 to enter trigger interface.
3.5 Trigger Page as Picture 3-5-1
3.5.1 Trigger Operation:
At this page, press and hold K2 button to enter trigger
menu, then Press K2 to scroll down for more selection. Once
choice is made, press K1 to enter sub-menu. At sub-menu,
press K1 or K2 to begin trigger or adjust voltage. Press K2 to return to last menu. Except for
Huawei SCP and PPS, the tester will keep the quick charging state after exiting trigger mode
and it requires re-plugin of the tester to restore to the 5V state. The current protocols
supporting for trigger are QC2.0, QC3.0, HUWEI FCP, Huawei SCP PD2.0, PPS and
SUMSUNG AFC. (This operation will make the type-c port output high voltage, please unplug
the load when using this this function)
3.5.2 PD trigger Operation
W：Current PD mode
X: Current actual output Voltage
Y：PPS Voltage step value（cannot be chosen under
fixed Voltage）
Z： White options mean supported PD Voltage. Green
option means current trigger Voltage.
The PD trigger effect is similar to picture3-5-2, press K1 and re-plug interface according to the
tips, then press K1/K2 to switch PD Voltage. Press and hold K1 to switch Voltage step value
under PPS mode. Press K1/K2 to increase/decrease the Voltage. Press and hold K2 to exit
trigger mode. Because single-sided CC cable is commonly used, when connecting PD device
with Type-C cable, try flip the tester if it does not work.

At this page, Press and hold K2 button to enter setting menu, short press K2 to select function
option. After selected. press K1 to change that function’s data value. Press and hold K2 button
to save settings and return to previous menu.
- Delay off screen time can be set 1-9 minutes or lighting, 0 means never off.
- There are 10 levels screen brightness;
- Temperature unit can adjust between ℃ and ℉;
- There is 180-degree rotation for screen;
- When the CC pull-down is turned on, the screen will light up by default. If you need to
measure PD charging, please turn off the CC drop down;
- Restore factory defaults only restore setting, not clear data group data and offline data.
For CC pull-down:PD stipulate that Type-C interface has no output by default. When there
is a drop down on the CC line (pin in the Type-C interface), PD charger thinks that the load is
connected and then starts the 5V output. Therefore, it is normal for the tester to plug directly
into the PD charger and not light when there is no load. If CC drop down is enabled in the
setting of TC66, when you plug TC66, it will automatically brighten the screen after it is set as
enabled, but it may affect the normal charging process. If protocol detection and trigger are to
be exercised, CC drop down must be enabled, and the back end shall not be connected with
any load. If it is set to be off, the charging of PD charger will not brighten the screen, and the
charging process will not be affected. Please first plug the tester into the charger and then
insert the load.
Press K2 to enter system information interface.
