Calibrating Adapters
Battery Adapters should be calibrated once a year or whenever they are moved from one
analyzer to another. Station calibration corrects variations in tolerances due to aging of
the adaptor components and also compensates for loss of voltage from cables and
electrical contacts.
Failure to calibrate Battery Adapters can cause inaccurate capacity readings, especially on
low voltage batteries or single cells operating at high charge or discharge currents.
OhmTest and QuickTest results can also be affected, in some cases dramatically.
To calibrate an adapter
1.
Make sure that there is no battery inserted into the adapter.
2.
From the global display, press F
N
and then press 8.

Press the station key that has the adapter.
Use a short length of heavy gauge wire (AWG 10) or a copper plate to short the positive
and negative terminals on the Battery Adapter together. If calibrating a Smart Cable
Adapter, clip the leads together.
Do NOT short the temperature sensor on the adapter.
Do NOT short the contacts on a BATTERY.
7.
Press
ENTER
to start calibrating. Calibration takes about 20 seconds so
remember to maintain constant pressure on the adapter’s terminals until the
test is fully completed.
8.
Remove the adapter when prompted.
