The configuration menu is a further sub-menu (Fig. 24) available from
the Main Menu. This is where you access the menus for configuring

se, as described in the next section.
To reach the configuration menu select the "Conf.-Menu" sub-menu
from the "Main Menu", and confirm by pressing "OK / Menu". The

14.1 Database
A particularly convenient feature of the ALC 8500-2 Expert is the ability to store the nominal data and
charge parameters of particular batteries (those which are to be processed regularly) in the machine's
internal database. In total the database can store data for up to forty batteries of all types, and it is
also possible to assign a name (up to nine characters) to each battery if you wish. The menu points
available in the "Database" menu are shown in Fig. 26.

14.1.1 New Bat.
The "New Bat." menu is used to edit and store data for new batteries
in the database, i.e. batteries which you have not yet stored. Press
the "OK / Menu" button to move to the menu, and confirm the "Sel.
Name" menu point. You can now enter a name of your choice with a
maximum of nine characters. This is the procedure: select the cha-
racter using the jog dial, and select the position with the arrow buttons
(Fig. 27). Press the "OK / Menu" button to confirm your selection after
you have edited the name.
The next step is to select and confirm the battery type, then enter the
nominal battery capacity, nominal voltage, desired charge current,
desired discharge current and the interval which is to elapse between
charge / discharge cycles, using the same procedure.
14.1.2 Edit Bat.
This function allows you to edit the battery data already stored in the database. Data is entered in
exactly the same way as when storing new battery data. The process is only complete when the screen
automatically displays "Return" (alternatively you can switch directly to this point by turning the jog
dial to the right); the data is now stored. If you do not complete the input process, the battery is erased
from the database.
