C-Codes (Configuration Codes)
The adapter requires the battery chemistry, voltage and rating in order to service a
battery. This information is stored on the adapter as a C-Code. Each adapter can hold 10
C-Codes. Once a C-Code has been entered, the information is stored permanently in the
adapter memory where it can be displayed, selected, created, copied, edited and deleted
(see Managing C-Codes, page 54). The adapter can be moved between stations*and the
C-Code remains within the adapter.
Note A C-Code cannot be edited or changed while a battery is serviced.
Custom Battery Adapters come pre-programmed with the most common battery C-Codes
compatible with the adapter. Universal adapters such as 07-110-0115 (Smart Cable) and
07-110-0180 (FlexArm) are shipped with no C-Codes and will display NULL CODE when
inserted into the analyzer. Create a C-Code to clear the NULL CODE message (see
Managing C-Codes, page 54).
Each C-Code is divided into three parts:
•
Basic C-Codes include program; target capacity; chemistry; voltage and capacity. The
C-Code setup name, if specified, is displayed on the LCD screen along with basic
parameters. If a C-Code is locked, scaled or has a matrix, it is indicated on the display
by an ‘L’, ‘S’ or ‘T’ respectively. The battery chemistry, voltage and capacity are
required in order to start servicing a battery.
•
An extended C-Code, which consists of charge/discharge C-rate, trickle-charge rate,
recondition settings and other parameters are needed to service a battery. The types
of parameters depend on the battery chemistry described in the following table. In
general, extended parameters can be left at their default settings.
* It is recommended to calibrate Battery Adapters whenever they are moved from one analyzer to another (see
Calibrating Adapters page 132).
