Figure 14. Resistance and Test Progress
Press the orange Test key. After the cell or Ric1 intercell resistance appears,
move the probes to the next cell or intercell and press Test. The cell or
intercell number advances when the leads are moved.
TIP
: While the test progress indicator is on the screen, to stop the resistance
test, if required, press Stop.
If the cell requires two or more IC (intercell) resistance readings, move the
black/red and black leads to the next IC connection, then press Test for each
IC measurement. (Refer to
Application Note CC-002
for lead placement.)
The first Ric reading displays when Test is initially pressed; the next one
displays after the leads are moved and Test is pressed again. In this case, the
cell number does not increment until the last intercell is read.
NOTE: You can step to the next cell number using the Up Arrow, but then
you may have unread cell or intercell numbers. Use the Arrows primarily to
review readings upon test completion.
If you press Test before moving the probes to the next cell,
Reading exists.
Overwrite?
appears. To read the same cell/intercells, select Yes. If not, select
No and move to the next cell.
If you press Test too soon,
Initializing
appears while internal components cool
down. Testing may halt if components get too hot.
Continue measuring all the cells. After testing is done, remove the leads
from the cell under test and press Done. You may save the readings from the
next screen. Refer to
Saving the Readings
