SECTION 1.0: POWER DB OVERVIEW

Power DB is a PC based Megger instrument interfacing software, that operates

with multiple Megger units, including Megger’s line of Battery Testing Instrumentation.

Power DB will operate with the BITE2, BITE2P, BITE3, DMA Hydrometer, Torkel and

BVM voltage monitors.

There are 3 versions of the Power DB software, Power DB LITE, Power DB Advanced

and Power DB Pro. Power DB LITE comes with the BITE2, BITE2P and the BITE3 at no

additional charge. The Power DB Advanced and Pro versions are ordered separately

and have associated charges with them.

The Power DB LITE software allows operator to communicate with the BITE2, BITE2P

and BITE3 as well as import data, configure the units, import Hydrometer data, create

reports and charts, configure the reports and charts, configure battery data as well as

import pre-existing ProActiv Databases. The following table illustrates the differences

between the different versions of Power DB.
