Battery Tester Quick Guide

Let’s start by measuring a fresh battery
To evaluate whether batteries have deteriorated, measure the internal resistance of a fresh battery. Deteriorated batteries will have about 1.5 to 2 times (values for reference purposes) as high internal resistance as a fresh one. Use these values as guidelines when determining deterioration evaluation values.
Example: Changes in the internal resistance and voltage
associated with battery deterioration
Resistance has doubled . . .

Operating Precautions

Operating Precautions
Observe the following precautionary information to ensure that the instrument can be used safely and in a manner that allows it to
perform as described in its specications. Use of the instrument should conrm not only to its specications, but also to the specications of all accessories, options, LR6
Alkaline batteries, and other equipment in use.
Installing the instrument
CAUTION
Installing the instrument in inappropriate locations could cause a malfunction of the instrument or an accident.
• Exposed to direct sunlight or high temperature
• Exposed to corrosive or combustible gases
Exposed to a strong electromagnetic elds or electrostatic charges
• Near induction heating systems (such as high-frequency induction heating systems and IH cooking equipment)
• Susceptible to vibration
• Exposed to water, oil, chemicals, or solvents
• Exposed to high humidity or condensation
• Exposed to high concentrations of dust particles
Do not place the instrument on an unstable or uneven surface. Doing so could cause the instrument to fall or turn over, causing bodily injury or damage to the instrument.
12
Operating Precautions
Preliminary checks
DANGER
If the test lead or the instrument is damaged, there is a risk of an electric shock. Perform the following inspection before use:
Check that the insulation of the test lead is neither
ripped nor torn and that no metal parts are exposed.
Replace the test lead with a one specied by Hioki.
Check the instrument for any damage that may
have occurred during storage or shipping, and
perform functional checks before use. If you nd
any damage to the instrument, please contact your authorized Hioki distributor or reseller.
Precautions for Transportation
During shipment of the instrument, handle it carefully so that it is not damaged due to a vibration or shock.
13
Operating Precautions
Handling the instrument
To prevent an electric shock, do not remove the instrument’s case. The internal components of the instrument carry high voltages and may become very hot during operation.
To avoid damage to the instrument, do not subject it to vibration or mechanical shock during transportation and handling. Exercise particular care to avoid subjecting the instrument to mechanical shock, for example by dropping.
DANGER
CAUTION
14
Precautions for measurement
DANGER
To prevent an electric shock, be careful to avoid shorting live lines with the test lead tip.
WARNING
Do not use the instrument to measure circuits that
exceed its ratings or specications. Damage to the
instrument can cause an electric shock.
Do not measure any voltage that would exceed the
instrument’s maximum input voltage (terminal-to­terminal) or maximum rated line-to-ground voltage of 60 V.
Maximum input voltage
(terminal-to-terminal)
60 V DC
Operating Precautions
Maximum rated voltage to earth
60 V DC
Do not measure
AC voltage.
15
Operating Precautions
Connect the test lead correctly.
Wear gloves of rubber or similar material during
measurement.
Ventilate the rooms where batteries have been
installed before measuring batteries to prevent explosions. Sparks may occur when a test lead is connected to a battery to be measured, which can
ignite any accumulated inammable gases such as
hydrogen.
After measuring a high-voltage battery, rst short-circuit
the test lead to discharges the DC elimination capacitor connected across the lead before continuing to measure a low-voltage battery. Otherwise the low-voltage battery may be subject to an excess voltage, causing damage to the battery.
To avoid damage to the instrument, do not apply voltage to the EXT.HOLD and TEMP.SENSOR terminal.
