ADAPTER HANDLING PRECAUTIONS
•
Do not touch the adapter’s gold contacts at the rear or on
the analyzer station adapter connector. The static charge
can damage microcircuits on the adapter.
•
Do not remove the adapter from the analyzer while it is
servicing a battery. Remove the battery first and then the
adapter.
•
ESD HANDLING PRECAUTIONS: When the adapter is NOT
installed in analyzer:
•
The battery should not be connected to the adapter
•
Do not allow anything to touch the gold fingers on the
adapter connector card
•
Do not allow anything to touch the adapter connector in
the analyzer's adapter well
Each adapter contains up to ten battery service parameters called Configuration
Codes (or
C-codes
) in non-volatile memory. C-codes will not be lost when adapters
are removed and reinserted into any station on the analyzer or when the analyzer
is turned off.
Custom adapters are pre-programmed with C-codes for the most common
batteries. If a battery C-code is not available, program a new C-code or reprogram
an existing C-code into the analyzer.
Universal adapters, designed for generic batteries, are programmed with blank C-
codes and will display N

stations are being used. Once the adapter is inserted, the battery station receiving
the adapter automatically uses the last selected C-code.
