LEDs associated to each channel are pre-
sent on the front panel (1 to 8). These
LEDs indicate the status of the channel as
follows:
 Green: Discharge regime/OCV/EIS
with discharge regime
 Orange: Charge regime/EIS with a
charge regime
 LED Off: Channel stopped
 Flashing Red: channel error
The channel error (blinking red led) may be due
to:
- A cell voltage higher than 10V
- A cell voltage lower than 0 V
- A internal heat sink temperature higher
than 70°C
- Potential or current control problem (e.g.
a disconnected cell)
- When the Open In stops the measure-
ment (optional)

1.2.3.3 Auxiliary inputs/outputs (DB9) on rear panel of BCS-810 and BCS-805.
A subD-9 pine connector is provided on the rear panel of each BCS-810 and BCS-805 mod-
ule. Fig. 10 shows the structure of the SubD-9pins connector and the different pins that can
be used as auxiliary inputs/outputs.
 Analog Out is used to control external device (20 mA max).
 Analog In1 is used for auxiliary signal (voltage) recording. Activate Record Aux1 in
the cell characteristics window of BT-Lab to record these variables in the data file.
Analog input 2 (Analog In2) is not available.
 Trigger In and Trigger Out are programmed in the experiment protocol. Trigger In
can be used to start or stop the experiment of electrochemistry, in that case another
instrument sends a trigger to the instrument. Trigger Out can be sent at the beginning
