Entry Type Description
TEST TRIP LEVEL UPPER
LOWER
Sets the pass/fail upper and lower trip levels. The
appropriate trip level varies by battery separator type
and construction. It may require testing on several
batteries to come up with suitable upper and lower trip
levels. This process of empirically establishing the trip
level for a specific make/model battery can be
accomplished using the LEARN MODE. (See next)
Note that the TRIP1, TRIP2 and TRIP3 buttons can be
used to quickly set both levels at once. They can then be
adjusted up or down using the shuttle.
Q SENSITIVITY The Q sensitivity setting combines up to five Q readings
and compares them against the same multiple of the
pass/fail limit values. Changes the Q sensitivity value
automatically adjust the trip level settings.
Q METER List Opens the learn mode screen which allows the user to
test multiple batteries by running repeated tests on a
given battery while observing the Q read back value.
This procedure may be required to determine the
optimal pass/fail limits for a specific battery type.
TEST COUNTER List Number of times the test voltage is applied and a
reading is taken. For continuous test mode until stopped
by the operator, set to zero. The rate at which tests are
applied to the unit under test in this mode is determined
by the TEST TIME INTERVAL setting. (See next).
