Step 2: Measure String Float Cell Voltages
(i)
Turn the DLV40
ON.
(ii)
Ensure that the DLV40 is in the correct mode, required string is selected and all previous
string data has been deleted.
(iii)
Connect voltage measurement probes to DLV40 and measure cell voltages ensuring that the
cell number of the
next
reading matches with the cell number counter in the bottom left
hand corner of the display.

Current Test Mode
Selected String (“B”)
and the
next reading
in
selected string (“001”).
Sum of cell voltages for
the selected string.
If any previous string data had been deleted then the DLV40 display should
match that shown below. If not, please erase ALL previous data (see 8.1
above).

For example, after taking 10 cell float voltage readings of average ~ 2.45 the
DLV40 display should match the above.
The DLV40 may be turned
OFF
and
ON
while cell voltage readings are being
taken. When turned
ON
it will automatically start in the previous mode and
point to the
next
reading.
Please refer to section
4.0 Taking a Cell Voltage Measurement
for more
information on taking voltage measurements.
The DLV40 USB cable
MUST
be
DISCONNECTED
whenever measuring voltages!
