When the programming sequence is completed, the display will show the message:
At this point, it’s possible to disconnect the battery from the charger.
If the battery is left connected, a charge cycle will be initiated.
The Battery ID Module will keep the information in memory for an unlimited time.
In order to erase the memory, it’s necessary to disconnect the ID module from the battery.
PROGRAMMING HARDWARE RULES
During installation and programming activity it is necessary to ensure that
the position of the battery power cables and charger cables are correct.
As illustrated below, it is important that the cables are not overlapping or
entwined in the cables of another battery.
Failure to comply with these instructions may disturb the communication signals from the battery module, if this
occurs the charger will generate the following alarm.

BLACK DIAMOND CHARGER
ENERGY METERING AND HISTORY LOG
The internal memory of the BLACK DIAMOND charger contains a log of the last >200 charge cycles. More than 50
parameters are saved for every charge cycle. The most significative parameters of the 50 most recent cycles can be
visualized on the display of the charger, while the complete history log can be accessed and downloaded through
DoctorFleet.com management system. In order to visualize the 50 most recent cycles, it’s sufficient to scroll the menu
using the UP- DOWN buttons, and to press ENTER for 3 seconds in order to access the database. The results of each
charge cycle are represented on two pages. Use the UP-DOWN buttons to scroll between each record.
First page:
Where:
No =
Number of cycle (1 is the most recent)
Vstart =
Battery Voltage at the connection
Vstop =
Battery Voltage at the end of the charge
Date and Time = Date and Time of the BEGINNING of the charge
Second page:
Where:
Date and Time = Date and Time of the END of the charge
ENDCODE =
Charge termination code (30 different codes identify all the possible situations that determined
the termination of the charging cycle, see next paragraph).
Duration =
Total charging time
Ah =
Total capacity returned to the battery

5. PROGRAMMING BATTERY ID MODULE
When a battery ID module is installed on a battery for the first time, it must be initialized and programmed, by
following this procedure.
Connect the battery to a AR-TOP charger (the Battery Recognition mode must be set to BATTERY ID
MODULE or OPTIONAL).
The AR-TOP charger will establish a communication with the New Battery ID module, and it will show the
message:
BATT ID MODULE
CONNECTED
At this point, using the UP/DOWN buttons, it's possible to edit the battery ID information:
•
ID Number
(8 alphanumeric digits, to be confirmed
individually by pressing ENTER for 3 seconds)
•
Nominal Voltage
•
Capacity
•
Type
Once all the parameters are set correctly, push the buttons
UP+DOWN Simultaneously
in order to save the
data to the ID module.
The programming sequence may take up to 3 minutes, while the charger display will show the message:
BATT ID MODULE
PROGRAMMING...
When the programming sequence is completed, the display will show the message:
BATT ID MODULE
SET = OK!
At this point, it's possible to disconnect the battery from the charger.
If the battery is left connected, a charge cycle will be initiated.
The Battery ID Module will keep the information in memory for an unlimited time.
