Operating Precautions
Preliminary Checks
Before using the instrument the first time, verify that it operates normally to
ensure that the no damage occurred during storage or shipping. If you find any
damage, contact your dealer or Hioki representative.
Before using the instrument, make sure that the insulation on the power cord
and test leads is undamaged and that no bare conductors are improperly
exposed. Using the instrument in such conditions could cause an electric
shock, so contact your dealer or Hioki representative for replacements.
Measurement Precautions
• To avoid electrical shock, be careful to avoid shorting live lines with the test
leads.
• Do not use the instrument to measure circuits that exceed its ratings or specifications. Damage to the instrument or overheating can cause
shock.
• The maximum input voltage and maximum rated voltage are shown in the
following table.

See:"9.1 Basic Specifications" (p.181)
• Never connect a battery cell or module to a motor or other load while it is
being measured. Doing so may result in a surge voltage, which may damage
the instrument or cause injury.
• To prevent electrical shock, verify the ratings of the measurement leads
before measurement and exercise care not to measure voltages that exceed
those ratings.
• Do not touch the metallic tip of probes after measuring high-voltage batteries. Doing so may result in electrical shock since internal instrument components could retain a charge under those conditions. (Internal discharge time:
Approx. 20 sec.)
• To avoid short-circuit accidents, connect the probe's banana terminals to the
instrument before connecting the probes to the battery.

Operating Precautions
• Use only the specified test leads and cables. Using a non-specified cable may
result in incorrect measurements due to poor connection or other reasons.
• To ensure certified measurement accuracy, allow at least 30 minutes warmup. After warm-up, be sure to execute self-calibration.
See "4.10 Self-Calibration" (p.73).
• The input circuitry includes a protective fuse. Measurement is not possible
when the fuse is blown.
• This instrument internally stores (backs up) all settings (except memory function and measurement values), such as measurement range, comparator
settings and etc., but only when no operation is performed for a certain time.
Therefore, to preserve settings, do not turn the power off for a short time
(about five seconds) after changing a setting. However, measurement settings made through the RS-232C, LAN, or GP-IB interface and measurement
settings loaded by LOAD
rized.
• Select an appropriate measurement range when measuring batteries. Using
a low range such as 3 m to measure a button cell or other battery that has
high internal resistance may result in an open-terminal voltage (approx. 4
V), causing the battery to be charged.
signals of the EXT I/O connector are not memo-
Before Connecting and Powering On
• Before turning the instrument on, make sure the supply voltage matches that
indicated on the its power connector. Connection to an improper supply voltage may damage the instrument and present an electrical hazard.
• To avoid electrical accidents and to maintain the safety specifications of this
instrument, connect the power cord provided only to a 3-contact (two-conductor + ground) outlet.
To suppress noise, the instrument needs to be set to match the frequency of
the power source. Before operating, set the instrument to the frequency of your
commercial power. If the supply frequency is not set properly, measurements
will be unstable.
See "2.5 Selecting the Line Frequency" (p.24).
Make sure the power is turned off before connecting or disconnecting the
power cord.
Handling the Instrument
• To avoid damage to the instrument, protect it from physical shock when
transporting and handling. Be especially careful to avoid physical shock from
dropping.
• Do not apply heavy downward pressure with the stand extended. The stand
could be damaged.
This instrument may cause interference if used in residential areas. Such use
must be avoided unless the user takes special measures to reduce electromagnetic emissions to prevent interference to the reception of radio and television broadcasts.

HIOKI BT3562A981-09
Operating Precautions
Handling the Test Leads and Cables
• To avoid breaking the test leads and cables, do not bend or pull them.
• Avoid stepping on or pinching cables, which could damage the cable insula-
tion.
• To avoid equipment failure, do not disconnect the communications cable
while communications are in progress.
• Use a common ground for both the instrument and the computer. Using different ground circuits will result in a potential difference between the instrument's ground and the computer's ground. If the communications cable is
connected while such a potential difference exists, it may result in equipment
malfunction or failure.
• Before connecting or disconnecting any the communications cable, always
turn off the instrument and the computer. Failure to do so could result in
equipment malfunction or damage.
• After connecting the communications cable, tighten the screws on the connector securely. Failure to secure the connector could result in equipment
malfunction or damage.

Overview Chapter 1
1.1 Product Overview
The Model BT3561A, BT3562 and BT3563 Battery Hitester measure battery
internal resistance using a four-terminal, 1-kHz AC method, while simultaneously
measuring DC voltage (electromotive force [emf]). The high-precision, fast measurement performance and extensive interface capabilities make these models
ideal for incorporating into battery testing production lines.
Chapter 1 Overview
10
HIOKI BT3562A981-09
1.2 Features
1.2 Features
Simultaneously Measures Battery Internal Resistance and Voltage
The four-terminal AC method measures resistance and DC voltage simultaneously, so battery internal resistance and emf are measured and judged at once.
High-Precision Measurements
Resistance measurement resolution of 1 or 0.1 and voltage measurement resolution of 10 V. The voltage measurement accuracy of ±0.01% of
reading is achieved.
High-Speed Measurements
Simultaneous resistance and voltage measurements can be performed as fast
as once every 20 ms.
(Response time of approx. 10 ms + sampling time of approx. 8 ms)
High-voltage measurement
The Model BT3563 supports measurement of high-voltage batteries of up to 300 V.
(the Model BT3561A, BT3562, and BT3562-01 supports measurement of up to
60 V) (the Model BT3562A supports measurement of up to 100 V)
Comparator Functions
Resistance and voltage measurement values are judged in three categories (Hi,
IN and Lo), with results clearly displayed. A comparator judgment beeper also
provides distinct sounds to indicate pass/fail judgments and to facilitate correct
recognition of judgment results.
Statistical Calculation Functions
Maximum, minimum and average measurement values, standard deviation, process capability indices and other values can be automatically calculated for
applications such as production management. Calculation results can also be
applied as comparator setting values.
Measurement Value Memory Function
The instrument includes a Memory function and storage capacity for up to 400
pairs of measurement values. When making many sequential measurements at
high speed and sending the measured values to a PC after each measurement,
the time to switch test objects can become unsatisfactorily long. The Memory
function can avoid the slow-down by sending stored measurements in batches
during idle times.
EXT I/O Interface
EXT I/O and RS-232C interfaces are equipped as standard, supporting transfer
rates up to 38,400 bps.
• Model BT3562-01 and BT3563-01 also supports GP-IB and analog output.
• Model BT3561A, BT3562A, and BT3563A also supports LAN and analog out-
put.
Printing Measurement Values and Statistical Results
Connect the printer to print measurement values and statistical calculation
results.

2.2 Connecting the Power Cord
2.2 Connecting the Power Cord
To avoid electrical accidents and to maintain the safety specifications of this
instrument, connect the power cord provided only to a 3-contact (two-conductor + ground) outlet.
To avoid damaging the power cord, grasp the plug, not the cord, when unplugging it from the power outlet.
To suppress noise, the instrument needs to be set to match the line frequency.
Before operating, set the instrument to the frequency of your commercial
power. If the supply frequency is not set properly, measurements will be unstable.
See "2.5 Selecting the Line Frequency" (p.24).
Make sure the power is turned off before connecting or disconnecting the
power cord.

1. Confirm that the instrument's Main power
switch (rear panel) is OFF(
).
2. Check that the power supply voltage ( 100
V to 240 V) is correct, and connect the
power cord to the power inlet socket on
the rear of the instrument.
3. Plug the power cord into the AC outlet.
2.3 Connecting the Optional Test Leads
HIOKI BT3562A981-09
2.3 Connecting the Optional Test Leads
• To prevent an accident caused by short-circuiting the battery, be sure to verify
that nothing is connected to the tips of the measurement leads before connecting the leads to or disconnecting them from the instrument. (Contact between
the banana terminals while the tips of the measurement leads are connected
to the battery will short-circuit the battery, possibly resulting in serious injury.)
• To prevent electrical shock, verify the ratings of the measurement leads before
measurement and exercise care not to measure voltages that exceed those
ratings.
Test leads are not included as standard accessories with the instrument, so the
appropriate options need to be purchased separately or constructed according to
the user’s application requirements. To construct custom test leads, refer to "Precautions for Making Custom Test Leads"(p.A1). The resistance measurement terminals on this instrument consist of four separate banana jacks.
See "Appendix 1 Precautions for Making Custom Test Leads"(p.A1).

1. Confirm that the instrument's Power
switch is OFF.
2. Verify that nothing is connected to the tips
of the four-terminal measurement leads.
3. Connect four-terminal test leads such as

2.4 Turning the Power On and Off
2.4 Turning the Power On and Off
Before turning the instrument on, make sure the supply voltage matches that
indicated on the its power connector. Connection to an improper supply voltage may damage the instrument and present an electrical hazard.
• The measurement setting state is the same as when the power was previ-
ously turned off (backup).
To preserve changes to settings, wait a short time (about five seconds) after
changing a setting before turning power off.
• However, measurement settings made through the RS-232C, LAN, or GPIB interface and measurement settings loaded by LOAD
I/O connector are not memorized.
• Before starting to measure, allow 30 minutes for warm-up.
After warm-up, be sure to perform a self-calibration.
See "4.10 Self-Calibration" (p.73).
