The BK Precision Manual for Models 601 and 602 provides detailed instructions on setting up and operating the battery capacity analyzers, including how to connect the devices to batteries and select appropriate settings for testing. It also covers troubleshooting procedures, such as handling memory errors and ensuring correct polarity connections, to ensure accurate measurement of battery terminal voltage, internal resistance, and capacity.
Manual Overview
The BK Precision Battery Capacity Analyzers, Models 601 and 602, are designed to measure terminal voltage, internal resistance, and the percentage of capacity remaining in lead-acid batteries. Model 601 is suitable for 6V and 12V batteries, while Model 602 is for 24V and 36V batteries. Both models operate without external power, relying on the Battery Under Test (BUT) for power. The front panel includes keys for power, AH selection, and testing, with an LCD displaying test results. The connection procedure involves linking the analyzer to the battery’s positive and negative terminals, ensuring correct polarity to avoid errors indicated by a reverse polarity LED. Upon powering up, the device performs a memory test and displays the open circuit voltage. Users can select AH values using the up and down keys, initiate tests, and view results such as loaded voltage, capacity percentage, and internal resistance. The analyzer includes safety features to prevent operation under high voltage or incorrect connections. Calibration and adjustments are managed through the AH selection, with the device auto-sensing battery parameters.
Quick Issues Covered
- Diagnose reverse polarity with LED indicator on models 601 and 602.
- Memory test failure displays 'INT MEMORY ERROR' on power-up.
- Use schematics for circuit tracing during repair or troubleshooting.

Controls & Indicators
1. PRESS & HOLD POWER / SEL. AH KEY: After connecting the battery under test (BUT) to the analyzer, press and hold this key to activate the analyzer and select AH values.
2. UP KEY: Increases the AH values.
3. DOWN KEY: Decreases the AH values.
4. TEST KEY: Begins the measurement process.
5. TEST REPEAT KEY: Repeats the previously performed test.
6. REVERSE POLARITY LED: Lights up when the battery is reverse connected.
7. LCD: A 16×2 line alphanumeric display that shows messages and test results based on the selected AH value.
8/9. TEST LEADS: Connect the BUT to the analyzer. The red lead connects to the positive terminal, and the black lead connects to the negative terminal.
Installation / Setup
The source does not provide specific information on installation or setup highlights, including wiring, clearances, calibration, or prerequisites.
Operation
The operation of the BK Precision Battery Capacity Analyzers Model 601 and 602 involves several steps. First, connect the analyzer to the Battery Under Test (BUT) by attaching the positive terminal of the analyzer to the positive terminal of the battery and the negative terminal to the negative terminal of the battery. The analyzer is powered by the battery itself. To turn on the unit, press and hold the POWER key. Upon powering up, the analyzer performs a memory test and displays the open circuit voltage on the LCD.
The user can select the required AH value using the UP and DOWN keys. After selecting the AH value, press the SELECT AH key and then the TEST key to begin measurements. The display will show the battery terminal voltage, balance capacity in percentage, and internal resistance in milliohms. After the test, there is a cooling period of approximately 15 seconds before another test can be performed. If the open circuit voltage exceeds 14.8V, the analyzer will not enter test mode and will display a high voltage warning. The analyzer will automatically switch off after 5 minutes of inactivity to prevent unnecessary battery discharge.

Safety & Warnings
The manual provides the following safety warnings and precautions:
1. Do not connect Model 601 to a voltage source more than 20V.
2. Do not connect Model 602 to a voltage source that is more than 50V.
3. Do not connect the unit to a battery that is connected in a circuit.
4. Ensure correct polarity when connecting the analyzer to the battery; the positive terminal of the analyzer should be connected to the positive terminal of the battery, and the negative terminal to the negative terminal. If connected incorrectly, the “Reverse Polarity” LED will glow.
5. If the open circuit voltage of the battery under test exceeds 14.8V, the device will continuously flash a high voltage warning and will not enter test mode.
