5 MAKiNG A TEST 

2] 

Press "Yes"

3] 

Disconnect the cables in reverse order that 
they were connected.

 

WARNING

  

Do not connect a discharged battery to a 
battery that has not been discharged. The 
batteries must be charged to the same 
potential (voltage) before they are con-
nected together.

For viewing results and report see section "5.7 View-
ing results and reporting" on page 26.

5.3 Test at constant power

TORKEL can be used to conduct a discharge test at  
constant power instead of constant current. All proce-
dures are the same except that you must set TORKEL 
differently before starting – you set the power instead 
of the current. 

Preparations

Follow the safety precautions set forth in section "2.2 
Safety instructions" on page 8 and the pr
epara-
tions for testing in section "5.1 Preparations for test-
ing" on page 20.

Configuring TORKEL for constant 
power

1] 

Calculate the current at the end of the test 
(divide the power by the voltage). 

2] 

Then make sure that the total current does 
not exceed 2999 A and that the TORKEL and 
TXL units can load with the required current 
throughout the test.

Select "Test Method"

1] 

Press "Constant P"

2] 

Set the desired Power by pressing the nu-
meric field and make the settings for power 
using the On-screen keyboard.

3] 

Make settings for warning and stop limits, 
see section "Warning and stop limit param-
eters" on page 14.

 

Tip

 

You can change the settings for power and 
limits at any time in "TEST".

Starting the test

4] 

Press 

 

The power value (kW) will be displayed and 
the control knob lamp will blink.

Pausing the test

1] 

Press 

2] 

Restart by pressing 

Note

  Any TXL Loads connected to TORKEL must be 

restarted manually.
