The core toroidal charge exchange recombination spectroscopy system on experimental advanced superconducting tokamak (EAST) has been enhanced recently to extend the spectral range. The C VI charge exchange line at 529.059 nm, Ne X line at 524.897 nm, and Li III line at 516.67 nm are observed successfully. The measurements were performed by injecting neon gas and dropping lithium powder simultaneously during the 2016 EAST experimental campaign. One channel connected to a neon lamp is used to perform the real-time wavelength calibration on a shot-to-shot basis. The preliminary results indicate that ion temperature profiles from the carbon and neon impurities are in excellent agreement and provide a consistency check of the measurement from different impurities. Toroidal velocity correction associated with the energy-dependent cross section has been performed. Toroidal rotation of neon impurity is obviously faster than C VI across the whole profile. A cumulative and saturated effect of core lithium ions was observed.
