2000 ECS/GPS Battery Plant J85500G-2
Issue 6 May 1999 Engineering, Planning and Ordering 3 - 25
An apparatus code identifies one specific arrangement of
hardware. The product is available in one form only. Lucent
Technologies Coded Apparatus is always specified by the code
followed by the descriptor. For example:
• BAA1 Circuit Pack
• 364A Power Unit
• 113B Control Unit
The vintage or version of coded apparatus is controlled by a
series number. The series number may be appended to the
apparatus code for a complete description of the product, but is
not necessary because only the latest vintage is orderable at any
given time. Apparatus-coded components for a battery plant are,
typically, replacement parts and spares. (See “Spare Parts” in
Section 5).
Equipment-coded hardware is available in different
configurations with combinations of optional features. The total
number of combinations and permutations of the optional
features on a given product may be in the hundreds or thousands.
For this reason, a unique code is not assigned to each
combination of options. Instead, a main code is specified, which
is followed by a list of identifiably separate options with the
quantities for each option.
The main code number falls into one of three categories:
• J-code
• ED-code
• H-code
J-codes take the form JxxxxxA-y and are used to specify main
assemblies, stand-alone products, and units that may have
multiple applications.
ED-coding, of the form ED-xxxxx-yy, identifies subassemblies
that are components of main equipment assemblies. For
example, an ED-coded distribution panel assembly may be a
component of a J-coded battery plant.
H-coding takes the form H-xxx-xxx and is used for a variety of
special applications such as field installation kits, pre-assembled
cables or custom configurations of options for a J-coded product.
