Measuring Voltage
Before testing cell voltage, you should select a site, though not mandatory.
WARNING
: Do not test any cells when the Cellcorder AC Power indicator
is lit. Injury to personnel or damage to equipment could result.
Use the Voltage mode and voltage probes to take float voltage readings. The
Cellcorder ignores polarity in Voltage mode, so you may connect the leads
either way. When the probes contact a cell, the Cellcorder displays the
voltage and beeps to indicate the reading is stored in temporary storage.
When the probes are lifted off the cell, the Cellcorder steps to the next cell
number.
WARNING
: The maximum voltage the Cellcorder can read is 20V. Do not
attempt to read Overall Volts (OV). The Cellcorder calculates OV based on
cell voltage readings.

Taking Voltage Readings
Before taking readings, you should select a site.
Main Menu > Test Mode|Volt
Connect the voltage test leads to the Cellcorder, then select Volt. The screen
displays the cell number and voltage and either
Resume testing
or
Stored in
Memory
. To display another cell number, type the number then press Enter,
or use the Up/Down Arrows.

Resume testing
means no reading exists for the cell number. Place the
voltage probes onto the cell. The Cellcorder reads the voltage and beeps.
Move the leads to the next cell; the screen displays the next cell number.
TIP
: To display another cell number, type the number then press Enter, or
use the Up/Down Arrows.
