Product Overview

The Fluke BT521 Battery Analyzer (the Product) is a multifunctional meter designed for the test and measurement of a stationary battery system. The Product can measure the battery internal resistance and voltages. These measurements can be used to determine the overall condition of the system. It can also measure electrical parameters for battery system maintenance, including dc voltage up to 1000 V, ac voltage up to 600 V, and ripple voltage.

Features of the Product include:

CAT III 600 V Safety Rated – The Product can measure a maximum of 600 V ac in a Category III environment.

Battery Internal Resistance – Via the Kelvin connections, the Product measures the internal resistance. An increase in the internal resistance from a known baseline indicates the battery is deteriorating. The testing takes less than 3 seconds.

1-1

BT521

Users Manual

Battery Voltage – During the internal resistance test, the Product also measures the voltage of the battery under test.

Negative Post Temperature – With the BTL21 Interactive Test Probe, the Product measures the negative post temperature via an IR sensor near the black test tip. During the test of battery internal resistance, the temperature reading shows on the LCD display of the interactive test probe and is stored in the Product memory.

Discharge Volts – The Discharge mode collects the voltage of each battery several times at a certain interval during a discharge or load test. Users can calculate the time a battery takes to drop to the cut-off voltage and use this time to determine the capacity loss of this battery.

Ripple Voltage Test – Measures the unwanted residual ac component of the rectified voltage in dc charging and inverter circuits. Allows users to test ac components in dc charging circuits and find one of the root causes of battery deterioration.

Current: Via the clamp accessory and adapter, the AC and DC current can be tested and then stored in the memory.

Meter and Sequence Modes – The Meter mode is used for a quick test or troubleshooting. In this mode you can save and read the readings in a time sequence. The Sequence mode is for maintenance tasks with multiple power systems and battery strings. Before a task starts, users can configure a profile for the task for data management and report generation.

Threshold and Warning – Users can configure a maximum of 10 sets of thresholds and receive a Pass/Fail/Warning indication after each measurement.

AutoHold – When AutoHold is turned on, the Product freezes the reading when it remains stable for 1 second. The frozen reading is released when a new measurement starts.

AutoSave – When the AutoSave mode is on, measured values are saved to the internal memory of the Product automatically after AutoHold.

Fluke Battery Analyzer Software – Easily import data from the Product to a PC. The measurement data and battery profile information is stored and archived with the Analyzer Software and can be used for comparison and trend analysis. All measurement data, battery profile and analysis information can be used to easily generate reports.

Safety Information

Safety Information

A Warning identifies conditions and procedures that are dangerous to the user. A Caution identifies conditions and procedures that can cause damage to the Product or the equipment under test.

Warning

To prevent possible electrical shock, fire, or personal injury:

Carefully read all instructions.

Read all safety information before you use the Product.

Use the Product only as specified, or the protection supplied by the Product can be compromised.

Do not use the Product around explosive gas, vapor, or in damp or wet environments.

Do not use the Product if it is damaged.

Do not use the Product if it operates incorrectly.

Do not apply more than the rated voltage, between the terminals or between each terminal and earth ground.

Do not touch voltages > 30 V ac rms, 42 V ac peak, or 60 V dc.

Do not exceed the Measurement Category (CAT) rating of the lowest rated individual component of a Product, probe, or accessory.

Do not use the HOLD function to measure unknown potentials. When HOLD is turned on, the display does not change when a different potential is measured.

Use the Current Clamp only as specified in the operating instructions. Otherwise the clamp’s safety features may not protect you.

Do not hold the Current Clamp anywhere beyond the tactile barrier.

Before each use, inspect the Current Clamp. Look for cracks or missing portions of the clamp housing or output cable insulation. Also look for loose or weakened components. Pay particular attention to the insulation surrounding the jaws.

Never use the clamp on a circuit with voltages higher than 600 V (CAT III) or a frequency higher than 400 Hz.

Use extreme caution when working around bare conductors or bus bars. Contact with the conductor could result in electric shock.

Do not use test leads if they are damaged. Examine the test leads for damaged insulation or exposed metal, or if the wear indicator shows. Check test lead continuity.

Connect the common test lead before the live test lead and remove the live test lead before the common test lead.
