Preliminary Checks

Measurement Precautions

Safety Information

Before using the instrument the first time, verify that it operates normally to ensure that the no damage oc curred during stor age or shipping. If you fi nd 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.

• To a void electri cal shock, be ca reful to avoid shorting l ive lines wit h the test leads.

• To avoid inju ry or damage to the instr ument, do n ot attempt to measure AC voltage and AC current, or DC voltage exceed ing (BT3563).

• The maximum rated voltage betwee n input terminals and ground is DC. Attempting to measure voltages exceeding 70 V (BT3562), 300 V (BT3563) with respect to ground cou ld damage the instrum ent and result in personal injury.

• Never connect a bat tery 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.

± 60 V (BT3562), 300 V

± 70 V

• 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 batte ries. Doing so may resu lt in electr ical shock si nce inte rnal ins trume nt components could retain a charge unde r thos e c ond iti on s. (Int er nal di schar ge tim e: Approx. 20 sec.)

• To av oi d sho rt-c irc ui t ac ciden ts, co nne ct the probe's banana term ina ls to t he instrument before connecting the probes to the battery.

Before Connecting and Powering On

Handling the Instru m en t

Handling the Test Leads and Cables

Safety Information

• 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 ens ure cert ified mea suremen t accurac y, allow at least 30 minutes warmup. After warm-up, be sure to execute self-calibration.

See "4.10 Self-Calibration" ( p.69).

• The input circuit ry includes a protecti ve fuse. Measuremen t 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 or GP-IB interface and measurement settings loaded by LOAD

• Select an appropriate measurement range when measuring batteries. Using a low range such as 3 mΩ 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 memorized.

• Before turning the instrument on, make sure the supply voltage matches that

indicated on the i ts powe r con nec to r. Connection to an im pr op er su ppl y vo ltage may damage the instrument and present an electrical hazard.

• To avoid electrical accidents an d to maintain th e safety spec ifications of this

instrument, connect the power cord only to a 3-contact (two-conductor + ground) outlet.

To suppress noise, the in strument needs to be set to matc h the frequency of the power source. Before operating, set the instrument to the frequency of your commercial power . If the supp ly freque ncy is not set prope rly, measur ements will be unstable.

See "2.5 Selecting the Line Frequency" ( p.20).

Make sure the power is turned off before connecting or disconnecting the power cord.

• 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 d ownward pres sure wit h the stand exte nded. The stand

could be damaged.

• T o avoid breaking the test leads and cables, do not bend or pull them.

• Avoid stepping on o r pin ching ca ble s, whi ch co uld dam age the cable insul a-

tion.

1.1 Product Overview

Overview Chapter 1

1.1 Product Overview

The Model BT3562, BT3563 Battery Hitester measure battery internal resistance using a four-terminal, 1-kHz AC method, while simultaneously measuring DC voltage (electromoti ve force [emf]). The high-precision, fas t measurement performance and extensive interface capabilities make these models ideal for incorporating into battery testing production lines.

Chapter 1 Overview

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

The instrument provide s high-resolution resistance (0.1 μ surements (10 μV). High precision (

measurements.

± 0.01% rdg.) ensures accurate voltage

Ω) and voltage mea-

High-Speed Meas urements

Simultaneous resis tance and voltage measur ements 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 BT3562 supports measurement of up to 60 V).

Comparator Functions

Resistance and volt age measur ement va lues ar e judged in three ca tegor ies (Hi, IN and Lo), with results clearly di splayed. A compara tor judgment beeper a lso provides distinc t sounds to indicate pass/fail judgm ents and to faci litate correct recognition of judgment results.

Statistical Calc ulation Functions

Maximum, minimum and av erag e measurement values, standard dev ia tio n, pr ocess 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 incl udes a Memory function and storage capacity for up to 400 pairs of measurement val ues. When making many sequential me asurements at high speed and sendin g the me asur ed values to a PC a fter each measu remen t, the time to switch te st objects can become unsatisfacto rily long. The Memory function can avoid th e slow-down by sending stor ed measurements in batches during idle times.

EXT I/O Interface

EXT I/O and RS-232C inter faces are equip ped as standard, supp orting transfer rates up to 38,400 bps. Model BT3562-01 and BT3563 -01 also supports GP -IB and analog output.

Printing Measurement Values and Statistical Results

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.

2.2 Connecting the Power Cord

To a void electrical accidents and t o maintain the safety speci fications of this instrument, connect the power cord 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.20).

Make sure the power is turned off before connecting or disconnecting the power cord.

2.3 Connecting the Optional Test Leads

• To prevent an accident caused by short-ci rcuiting the bat tery, be sure to verify that nothing is connected to the tips of the measurement leads before connecting the leads to or discon necting 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 ex ercise care not to measure voltages that exceed those ratings.

Test leads are not included as standard accessor ies with the instrument, so the appropriate options need to be purchased separately or constructed according to the user’s application requirements. To constr uct custom test leads, ref er to "Pre-

Execute zero adjustme nt before measuring to nullify any res idual offset voltage from the instrument or measurement environment. Measurement accuracy specifications are applicable after zero adjustment. Zero adjustment can also be executed by the 0ADJ terminal of the EXT I/O connector.

See "5.2 Signal Descriptions" ( p.76).

3.6 Zero-Adjust Function

Wiring Method for Zero-Adjustment

Before executing zero adjustment, connect the test leads (probes) as follows:

1. Connect SENSE-H to SENSE-L.

2. Connect SOURCE-H to SOURCE-L.

3. Connect the joined SENSE and SOURCE leads together as shown below.

Executing Zero-Adjustment

Position the measurement leads in the actual measurement state. Since the amount of zero adju stment var ies wi th the posi tion and st at e of t he mea-

surement leads (probes) (i.e., their length, shape, position, etc.), the measurement leads must be position ed in the actual measurement state before performing zero adjustment.

If a measurement does not execute properly, a measurement fault “- - - - -” is indicated on the display. In addition, a measurem ent fault signal (ERR) is outpu t at the EXT I/O connector.

See " ERR Output" ( p.79).

A measurement fault is displayed in the following cases.

• When a test lead is not connected to the test object

• When the resistance of the measured object is over-range Example: Attempting to measure 30 Ω with the 300 mΩ range selected.

• When there is a break in a probe wire

• When the contact resistance is high due to probe wear, dirt, or other factors, or when the wiring resistance is high (see chart below)

• If the circuit protection fuse is blown

See "10.1 Troubleshooting" ( p.181).

Levels at which a measurement fault is detected

A measurement fault will result when the resistance values (contact resistance + wiring resistance + test object resistance) between the source H and L or the sense H and L leads is greater than or equal to the values in the following table:

4.3 Measurement Current Pulse Output Function

When using multipl e instruments to take measur ements at the same time, you may experience interfer ence as a result of ele ctromagnetic in duction caused by the devices' measurement currents, causing measured values to gradually oscillate between increasi ngly large values. To prevent this phenomenon, the measurement current p ulse output function can be used to appl y the measurement current only while m easurement is being performed. (This funct ionality is only available during external trigger measurement or while continuous measurement is off.)

When this function is t urned on, the m easurement curr ent is only appl ied at the time of measurement. By staggering the timing of trigger measurement, measurement current interference can be eliminated.

5.5 External Control Q&A

Common Questions Answers

How do I connect external trigger input?

Which pins are common ground for input and output signals?

Are the common (signal ground) pins shared by both inputs and outputs?

How do I confirm output signals?

How do I troubleshoot input (control) signal issues?

Are the comparator decision signals retained during measurement (or can they be off)?

Why would the EOM signal not be detected?

Connect the (active low) TRIG input pin to an ISO_COM pin u si ng a switch or open-collector output.

The ISO_COM pins.

Both common ground pins can be shared by inputs and outputs.

Confirm voltage w avef orms with an osc illos cope. To do this, the output pins such a s EOM pulled up (through several k

For example, if triggering does not operate properly, bypass the PLC and short the TRIG pin directly to an ISO_COM pin. Be careful to avoid power shorts.

The state is determined at the end of measurement, and is off once at the start of measurement.

Try using the Pulse setting for EOM output. When the measurement time is short and EOM output is set to Hold, the time to de-assert may be too short to be detected by the PLC. When the EOM output is set to Pulse, the signal is asserted (ON) for the specified pulse width before turning off.

Ω).

What situations cause measurement faults to occur?

Is a connector or flat cable for connection provided?

Is direct connection to a PLC possible?

Can extern al I/O be used at the same ti me as RS-232C or other communica tio ns ?

How should external power be connected?

Can free-running measured values be acquired using a footswitch?

An error is displayed in the following cases:

• A probe is not connected

• A contact is unstable

• A probe or measurement object is dirty or corroded

• Measurement object resistance is much higher than the measurement range

A solder-type connector is supplied. The cable must be prepared at the user's side.

Direct connection is supported for relay or open-collector outputs and positive-ground opt ocoup ler inp uts . (Before conn ecting , conf irm that voltage and current ratings will not be exceeded.)

After setting up communications, it is possible to control measurement with the TRIG communications interface.

The instrument's external I/O input and output signals all operate from an internal isolated power source, so power must not be supplied from the PLC side.

From the Measurement display, press the PRINT key or ground the PRINT pin in the EXT I/O connector to print the measured value and decision result.

• When using the external trigg er, if you want to print after a triggered measurement finishes, connect the EOM nal.

• To print all measurements continuously, connect the EOM PRINT

Interval Printing________________________________________________

This function allows you to automatically print out measurement results at preset intervals. The print interval time must be set from the Interface Selection display.

See "6.2 Selecting the Interface" ( p.92).

The setting range is 1 to 3600 seconds. When the print i nterval time is set to "0", in terval printing is disabl ed, and only normal printing is carried out.

Operation when interval printing is selected:

1. Start printing by pressing the PRINT key or sending the PRINT EXT I/O.

2. Elapsed time (hours/min utes/seconds) and meas urement values are printed automatically at intervals corresponding to the preset interval time.

3. Stop pri nti ng by pr essi ng t he PRINT key or sending the PRINT I/O again.

• When the printed elapsed time reach es 100 ho ur s, it re se ts to 00:00:00 and continues from zero.

(Example) After 99 hours, 59 minutes and 50 seconds: 99:59:50 After 100 hours, 2 minutes and 30 seconds: 00:02:30

• Selecting a display other than the measurement display causes interval printing to stop.
