There are different competitions for dog sport agility. The standad program "challenge" is available in
TdC 8001.
6.12.1

Challenge, Program 141

The programs for agility are not described in this manual. The program is almost identical with the pro-
gram show jumping. We recommend to use the separate manual for show jumping to work with this
program.

6.13 TdC Test, Program 15

With this program device testing as well as check of display and keypad can be carried out. The test
program is used for tests after production. The TdC test is a manufacturer test and has no significance
for the normal operation.

Menu 48: GENERAL MEASUREMENTS
UB= 8.5V IB=+0.00A TB=+23.9° CLOCK
UE= 5.0V IE=+0.00A TL=-69.5° PRINTER
Continue: ENTER
Info display (7) shows in second line the battery voltage (UB), the battery energy (IB) and battery tem-
perature (TB). In third line the stabilized external voltage (UE) is indicated. It should be about 5 V. Further
the charging rate of extender devices (IE) is shown. Extender devices are connected to RS485 interface.
The current must remain below 1A. In addition a measurement with TL is shown. This measurement has
not yet been activated and can indicate any value.
Check battery with <F1>:
− Press <F1> until info display (7) shows BATT L<. This means that the battery is charged when
the charging device is connected. (IB) must show positive value (about +2 A)
− Press <F1> until info display (7) shows BATT E<. This means that the battery is discharged.
The energy (IB) must show negative value (about – 1.6 A).
