General Description

1.1 INTRODUCTION

BK's Battery Capacity Analyser Model 600 measures the % capacity left in a battery. By just selecting proper AH range & pressing TEST
switch user can get the % Balance capacity.

Model 600 supports 12V storage type lead acid batteries with wide range of AH capacity. No external power (Main or DC) is required.
The unit works on BUT (Battery Under Test).

1.2 APPLICATIONS
As the information age develops it is likely that the demand for UPS units will increase for use in hospitals, offices, labs etc. It is expected

that the importance of battery maintenance will increase alongwith increasing demand for UPS.
Looking forward to the future developments the Battery Capacity Analyser can fulfill many applications.

The instrument can be applicable for Automobile Service Stations, UPS Manufacturing, Maintenance and Field Servicing, QC Department,
Battery Systems in Railways, Telecommunications, Ships / Submarine.

1.3 SPECIFICATIONS

TECHNICAL

1) Capacity Display Range: 0% to 100%.

2) Max. Input Voltage: 20V.

3) No Load Voltage Indication Accuracy: ±2 counts.

Caution : Do not exceed max. input voltage
rating. Doing so may cause fatal damage to the
unit.

PHYSICAL

1) Dimensions: 80 (W) x 160 (H) x 40 (D) “

2) Weight: 1 Kg. (approx.).

4 Section 2 Operation

Refer to the Front view of the unit.

FRONT PANEL CONTROLS

1) AH Range : With this key the user can select the
correct AH range according to the battery
under test.

2) Select LED: This LED glows to indicate that user can
select the AH range.

3) Locked LED: This LED is ON when the unit locks to a
particular AH range set by the user.

4) Display Mode: This key selects the display either as
No load voltageor % balance
capacity.

5) Batt. Voltage: When display indicates Batt. voltage this
LED glows.

6) % Balance Capacity: This LED glows when remaining capacity
is displayed.

7) Load Test: The test starts by pressing this key.

8) Ready: When this LED glows steadily, it indicates
that the unit is ready to conduct a test.

9) Test On: This LED glows for approx. 2 sec. when
the battery test is carried out.

10) Reverse Polarity : If the unit is connected to a bat tery in
reverse polarity this LED

2.2 OPERATING PROCEDURE

Follow the steps as outlined below :

2.2.1 Connection Procedure Connect Battery Capacity
Analyser (600) to Battery UnderTest(BUT). Connect the
+ve terminal of 600 to +ve terminal of Battery. Connect-ve
terminal of 600 to –ve terminal of Battery. The 600 will be
powered with the BUT. On Power up, 600 performs a self
test by turning on the 7 segments, LEDs one after another
& finally flashing the version number.

Caution: Do not connect the +ve terminal of 600 to _ve
terminal of BUT and _ve terminal fo 600 to +ve terminal of
BUT. On doing so, the ‘Reverse Polarity’ LED glows as

shown.

2.2.2 Selecting AH Capacity

Press the 'AH Range' key. The select LED glows as
shown.

The display will show the last selected/stored AH value.
(Power ON default value is 7 AH)

To change the value to say 100 AH press the key again.
Display shows new value. Keep on pressing till the
desired AH is obtained.

To Lock the AH capacity, either press any key OTHER
than the AH Range key OR wait for about 10 seconds.
Your selected AH value

will automatically get lockedLocking is indicated by the
glowing of 'Locked' LED.

2.2.4 Observing Result After a Test

2.2.3 Conducting a Test

Test can be conducted any time by pressing the “Load
Test” key.

By doing so the ‘Test On’ LED starts glowing.
Typically, it glows for about 2 seconds. Thereafter the
‘Ready’ test starts blinking.
(The blinking time depends on the AH range slsected).
Thereafter it becomes steady.

Note: User cannot conduct a test while the ‘Ready’ LED is
blinking.

By default the Batt. Voltage is displayed on the display. To
observe the Balance Capacity left, press the ‘Display Mode’
switch.

The display will show the capacity in percentage.

Note: Balancce Capacity can have a meaningful value only after
conduction of a test. At power on, a value of 0 is shown. Hence
Balance Capacity should be seen only after conduction of a
test. To observe No Load Batt. Voltage, press the ‘Display
Mode Key’. The display will show the No Load Batt. Voltage.

2.3 CAUTION

1) Do not connect Model 600 to a voltage source more than 20V.

2) Do not connect the unit to a battery connected in circuit.
