DC amperage requirements for the equipment being powered. Then press NEXT.
Note: If the maximum DC amperage value entered is exceeded, the BC-8000 will enter a current limiting mode and
reduce the DC output voltage level to reduce the output current.
6. With the proper settings for DC output voltage and current entered, connect the BC-8000 DC output cord (4161-50)
using an appropriate cable adaptor to the equipment being powered. Press the NEXT button. This will turn on the BC-

BATTERY DISCHARGE TEST
1. Set the BC-8000 on a stable surface. Connect the AC power cord (4161-10) to the AC power source. Connect the
DC cord (4161-50) to the battery. Set the AC power switch to the ON position.
2. With the BC-8000 displaying MODE? Press the UP or DOWN button to select DISCHARGE. Press the NEXT button
to advance the display menu.
3. With the BC-8000 now displaying DISCHARGE Volts? Select the battery voltage 12 or 24 using the UP or DOWN
buttons. Press the NEXT button to advance the display menu.
4. Now select the End Point Voltage (EPV) voltage. When the selected EPV voltage is reached, the BC-8000 will
terminate the discharge test. Press the NEXT button to advance the display menu.
5. The BC-8000 will display DISCHARGE MAX. AMPS? Press the UP or DOWN button to set the discharge current.
Press the NEXT button to advance the display menu.
6. Now enter the maximum discharge run time. Use the UP or DOWN buttons to select max discharge from 1
minute to 999 hours. The maximum run time value will be used to scale the time axis in the BC Report.
7. This is the time in hours the discharge test will run if the EPV voltage is not reached. Press the NEXT button to
advance the display menu.
8. With the BC-8000 displaying PRESS NEXT TO START, press the NEXT button to start the discharge test.
Note: The discharge test can be stopped at any time by pressing the NEXT button.
NOTE: If the cooling fan fails to start and no cooling air is felt at the rear of the tester, stop the discharge
by repressing the NEXT button. The BC-8000 must be serviced before operating again.
NOTE: If incorrect battery voltage is selected the BC-8000 display will inform the operator.
