3.1.
Connecting BVR11 to a Test Object
Before the BVR11 has been connected to a test object (e.g. a battery), the following steps must be taken:
• The test object should be examined in case of any visual damages or leakages.
Note:
Always connect measuring cables to the BVR11 instrument first and then to the test object. When
disconnecting, always disconnect the cables from the test object first and then from the BVR11.
Not following these instructions may cause hazardous situations
.
The red sense cable should be connected to the positive polarity side at the beginning of a battery or a cell
string, depending on a test object being measured. The black sense cable should be connected to the
negative polarity side at the end of the measured string (batteries or cells).
Any source of interference should be eliminated from the test area, if possible.
• To maximize the accuracy and measurement repeatability, make sure that all clamps have a good
connection to the test object and avoid any crossing between the measuring cables.
C A U T I O N
For safety reasons, a connection of the device should be always established with the test
object in the way described in this Manual.
The measuring cables should not be connected after the start of the test.
The measuring cables should not be disconnected before the test is over.
