Reports and Labels
The Cadex analyzer prints labels and service reports manually or automatically (with Auto-
Print). With Auto-Print, a label or service report will print when the battery is removed from
the analyzer. With manual printing, the label or report must be printed before the battery
is removed from service. The Cadex analyzer supports specific printers (see Connecting to
BatteryShop or a Printer, page 63). In order to use other types of printers or save service
data, Cadex recommends using BatteryShop™.
There are three reports available:
•
The Battery Service Report includes: the battery ID number; detailed status
information; battery parameters (including chemistry, number of cells, rating, and cell
voltage); the C-Code description; the cycles performed on the battery; charge and
discharge rates; any applicable fault codes and final capacities. For a sample battery
service report see Figure 6, page 76.
•
The System Setup Report. includes: the time; date; company name; serial port
settings; device selected; event log setup; adapter setup and custom program
information (the System Setup Report must be printed on a dot-matrix printer).
•
The Adapter Setup Report report includes: the adapter header information; each C-
Code and program stored in the adapter and all parameter settings (the Adapter
Setup Report must be printed on a dot-matrix printer).
There are also two types of labels:
•
Battery ID label. This label contains the company name; date of service; test results
with any fault codes and the battery ID number (if the battery ID has been
programmed into the program parameters ). The label is attached to the battery after
it is serviced.
•
Bar-code label. This label contains a bar code representing either the battery ID
number or the C-Code. For samples of bar code and battery labels, see Figure 7,
page 77.
