System:
Four independent stations for simultaneous service of four batteries; accommodates nickel cadmium (NiCd), nickel metal hydride (NiMH), sealed lead acid (SLA) and lithium ion (Li-ion); batteries are tested against preset parameters; short and reverse polarity protected; multiple redundant full-charge detection.

Battery Adapters:
Configured Cups for battery specific applications and universal Smart Cables for irregular batteries. Pre-programmed with up to ten C-Codes to service all batteries within a footprint configuration. The adapters are interchangeable and re-programmable while other batteries are being serviced.

Power Supply and Drivers:
Digitally controlled switch mode drivers; 2 amperes maximum charge and discharge current per station; C-rate is automatically adjusted to remain within the current limit when a battery rating higher than 2 amperes is entered; intelligent overload protection.

Programming of Battery Adapters:
The C-Codes are entered through the C7000ER’s menu-driven user interface:
Basic C-Code sets battery chemistry, voltage and battery rating.
Extended C-Code governs charge & discharge C-rates, trickle charge, recondition current, capacity offset, temperature sensing, full-charge detection, discharge voltage threshold and charge methods.

Security System:
Three-tier password protection system safeguards against tampering.

Range:

Battery Type	Battery Voltage	Current Range	Ch/Dch per Stn.	Power Supply
NiCd/NiMH: SLA, Li-ion:	1.25-30V 2.00-30V	100mA-24A 100mA-24A	max 2A max 2A	160W

Program Selection:

Prime mode applies repetitive discharge cycles until peak capacity is reached; conditions new batteries for field use; program duration is 4-8 hours.

Charge mode provides convenient fast-charge function. Typical charge time 85 min.

Auto mode exercises batteries and reconditions those unable to reach the user-defined target capacity; program duration 3-5 hours, up to 12 hours if recondition cycle required.

Standby mode automatically exercises batteries every 30 days (180 days for SLA). Keeps batteries at operational readiness without adverse side effects.

Custom mode enables programming for any desired sequence of charge, discharge, recondition and trickle charge; performs long-term battery reliability tests, measures self-discharge and services batteries with special needs.

Target setting sets “pass/fail” criteria. If the target capacity is met, the battery is exercised—if below target, recondition 4 is applied.

Throughput per Unit:
Based on recommended monthly maintenance schedule of two batches per day (20 days per month), each C7000ER processes four batteries every 4-8 hours; maintains a fleet of up to 160 batteries.

Display:
80 character back-lit LCD

Global: Displays status of all batteries simultaneously; battery voltages and current are shown alternatively.

Detailed: Reveals test results of each battery; spells out fault codes for example, mismatched cells, incorrect voltage, "soft" cells. Test results are displayed in percentage of the nominal battery rating.

Standard Features:
RS-232 port standard; connects to serial printer to generate service reports and battery labels; interfaces to computer through BatteryShop software (sold separately).
Parallel printer output and battery backup RAM to retain test data on power failure, resumes program when power is restored; includes internal date and time, EMI immunity for noisy environments.

Optional Features:
Bar code reader; reads battery ID number for battery identification; reads C-Code to configure Battery Adapters.
Power:
Line Voltage: 90-265VAC; 49-63Hz; Main Load: 250W max

Physical:
W=280mm (11”); D=412mm (16.7”); H=95mm (3.75”); 5.3kg (12lb)

Warranty
Limited two (2) year parts and labor. Approvals CSA/ IEC1010, IEC801, CISPR11, FCC. CE certified
