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. It also allows selection of AH values according to the BUT rating.
2. UP KEY: Increases the AH values.
3. DOWN KEY: Decreases the AH values.
4. TEST KEY: Initiates the measurement process.
5. TEST REPEAT KEY: Repeats the previously performed test.
6. REVERSE POLARITY LED: Lights up when the battery is connected in reverse.
7. LCD: A 16×2 line alphanumeric display that shows various messages and test results according to the selected AH value.
8. TEST LEADS: Used to 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 BUT, and to turn it on, press and hold the POWER key. Upon powering up, the analyzer performs a memory test and displays the open circuit voltage on the LCD.
Users 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 the measurement. During the test, the backlight will switch off, and the results will be displayed, showing the battery terminal voltage, balance capacity percentage, and internal resistance in milli-ohms.
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 device will not enter test mode. To start a new test, press the SELECT AH key, or to repeat the same test, press the TEST REPEAT key. The analyzer will automatically switch off after 5 minutes of inactivity to prevent unnecessary battery discharge.
