(iv)
Connect the voltage probes to the cell terminals.
The DLV40 automatically detects that it is connected to a cell and begins taking
measurements. When the readings are
stable
(/- 0.005 VDC) the DLV40
automatically
beeps
, the
backlight flashes
and the reading is
held
on the display.
(v)
Remove the voltage probes from the cell terminals.
The reading is
held
on the display until the probes are
removed
. After approximately (1)
second the DLV40
stores
the reading,
adds
the reading to the sum of string cell voltages and
increments
to the next reading.
