16.2 READING OUT THE DATA ON A BID CHIP
If you wish to read out the saved data, you must first press the
"STOP / ESC" button. This display now shows the maximum
charged-in and discharged capacity of all the charge / discharge
processes involving this battery.
Note:
The data cannot be displayed if any process (charging, dischar-
ging, etc.) is currently active.
The illustration shows a typical screen display, which gives you a
means of estimating the values for your battery, and accurately
assessing the overall state of the pack . No additional equipment,
such as a PC with the appropriate software, is required.
An analysis of the example display shows the following:

19. ERROR MESSAGES
The Power Peak
®
D7 EQ-BID is equipped with special safety fea-
tures to ensure safe and reliable charging and discharging operati-
ons. As soon as a fault occurs, a corresponding message appears
on the screen, and the piezo buzzer emits a warning tone. After
eliminating the cause, you can erase the following error messages
by pressing the "STOP / ESC" button.
[ Error ]
DC input too low
* Please check the
Input voltage!
[ Error ]
Interruption
* The battery
is disconnected.
* Please connect the battery
and start.
[ Error ]

18. USB PC SOCKET
The Power Peak
®
D7 EQ-BID is fitted with two mini-USB sockets
at the front. A USB lead can be connected to either of these sok-
kets for connection to a PC. The appropriate lead can be obtained
from any electronics shop. Software updates can be loaded using
this lead.

16.1 STARTING CHARGE / DISCHARGE PROCESSES WITH
BID CHIP / KEY
When you have edited and saved the BID data, the "BID EDIT"
screen display appears. Processes are initiated from this display.
This is accomplished by holding the "START / ENT." button
pressed in for at least two seconds. The various modes (CHARGE,
DISCHARGE, STORAGE, FAST-CHARGE, BALANCE, etc.) are
then displayed.
The procedure is identical to that required for starting a process for
one of the twenty memories ("Memory name" menu). The same
set-up facilities and parameters are available.
After highlighting the desired process using the "+" or "-" but-
tons, hold the "START / ENT." button pressed in for at least two
seconds to start.
saved to the BID chip or key: navigate to the "Store" line, and press
the "START / ENT." button to save the data.
If the BID chip or key has already been operated with another char-
ger, the data are naturally adopted. However, if the set parameters
are not compatible with the D7 charger (charge / discharge current,
cell count, capacity or "Special" battery with the Power Peak E1), an
error message appears, and you have to re-enter the data.
17. CHARGE OUTPUT 2 / OUT2
The Power Peak
®
D7 EQ-BID charger is fitted with a second charge
output, which has the same specification as Output 1. Both charge
outputs can be operated independently of each other.
Note:
Do not wire the outputs together in parallel or in series!
