MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLE SHOOTING
Overview
The BITE 3 is designed to meet the rigors of battery testing in industrial
environments. It is housed in a durable ABS/PS case as are the probes. It uses a
Windows
TM
CE operating system with on-board diagnostics. There is very little
that can go wrong. There aren’t any user-serviceable parts in the instrument. But
there are spares and extra parts available and are described in Appendix B.
Status LEDs
Lead Set
In order to aid in battery testing, status LEDs have been added to the probe
handles with a redundant display on the LCD (for optional lead sets.) The chart
below explains the status LEDs.
Red No Connection
Yellow- Blinking Connection detected, waiting for trigger
Yellow- Solid Connection found, measuring
Green Measuring complete, Okay to remove probes.
Out of Range Impedance Values
If the display reads “Out of Range” for cell and strap impedance values then the
1 Amp fuse in the unit may be blown.
To test for a blown fuse, use both probes on the same terminal of a battery. This
will act as close as possible as a zero ohm connection and should yield a very low
impedance measurement. If the measurement indicates out of range impedance
values, it is very likely that the protective fuse has been blown.
