Taking a Cell Voltage Measurement (ALL Modes)
Cell voltage measurements are taken in a similar fashion to a traditional voltmeter.
(i)
Turn the DLV40
ON.
(ii)
Select the required measurement mode (
“20x48”,
“8x256”
or
“Discharge”
).
(Please refer to section X.X for Mode selection for more information)
(iii)
Select required string.
For
“20x48”
or
“8x256”
mode:
-
If old data is present,
delete
string(s) data as required.
For
“Discharge Test”
mode:
If an old
Discharge Test
data is present,
delete
the existing
Discharge Test
data.
The DLV40 is designed to measure absolute DC cell voltages between 0.1 VDC and 19.999 VDC.
Attempts to measure higher DC voltages will result in an
“OVERVOLTAGE!!!” warning.
8x256
+0.000
B:001
000.0
Sum of cell voltages
for the selected string
(shows 000.0 as no
discharge readings
have been taken).
Current measurement
mode.
Selected String (“B”) and
the next reading in the
selected string (“001”).
(No readings have been
taken).
When turned
ON
, the DLV40 will automatically resume in the previous mode and “point” to the next
reading location.
“20x48” or “8X256” Mode
Dischg
0:00:03
+0.000
B:001
000.0
Sum of cell voltages
for the selected string
(shows 000.0 as no
discharge readings
have been taken).
Discharge Time
(Currently 3 seconds
into the test).
Selected String (“B”) and
the next reading in the
selected string (“001”).
(Float readings have been
taken but no discharge
readings have been
taken).
“Discharge Test” Mode
Current measurement
mode.
The DLV40 USB cable
MUST
be
DISCONNECTED
whenever measuring voltages!
