C-CODE TABLES FOR CADEX BATTERY ANALYZERS

January 5, 2009

This document interprets Configuration Codes (C-codes) used in battery catalogs.

The following exceptions should be made when using this table.

a. The C4000 does not have the capability to service Li-Ion batteries or for DC Charge (use the Rev Load 0%
instead).
b. Disable all temperature sensing; use ‘0’ as the temperature sensing value (C4000).
c. Li-Ph is ONLY on C7x00-C series analyzers.
d. Not compatible with C8000 (C8000 uses a different Chemistry Code).

Format
There are two C-Code formats depending on the chemistry:
