Model: 601B SLA Battery Capacity Analyzer USER MANUAL
Safety Summary The following safety precautions apply to both operating and maintenance personnel and must be followed during all phases of operation, service, and repair of this instrument. Before applying power to this instrument: Read and understand the safety and operational information in this manual. Apply all the listed safety precautions. Verify that the voltage selector at the line power cord input is set to the correct line voltage.
category rating is a Roman numeral of I, II, III, or IV. This rating is also accompanied by a maximum voltage of the circuit to be tested, which defines the voltage impulses expected and required insulation clearances. These categories are: Category I (CAT I): Measurement instruments whose measurement inputs are not intended to be connected to the mains supply. The voltages in the environment are typically derived from a limited-energy transformer or a battery.
You must ensure that each accessory you use with this instrument has a category rating equal to or higher than the instrument's category rating to maintain the instrument's category rating. Failure to do so will lower the category rating of the measuring system. Do not operate in an explosive or flammable atmosphere Do not operate the instrument in the presence of flammable gases or vapors, fumes, or finely-divided particulates. The instrument is designed to be used in office-type indoor environments.
In environments with restricted cooling air flow, even if the air temperatures are within specifications. In direct sunlight. This instrument is intended to be used in an indoor pollution degree 2 environment. The operating temperature range is 0 °C to 40 °C and the operating humidity range is ≤ 95% relative humidity with no condensation allowed. Measurements made by this instrument may be outside specifications if the instrument is used in non-officetype environments.
Do not clean the instrument, its switches, or its terminals with contact cleaners, abrasives, lubricants, solvents, acids/bases, or other such chemicals. Clean the instrument only with a clean dry lint-free cloth or as instructed in this manual. Not for critical applications This instrument is not authorized for use in contact with the human body or for use as a component in a lifesupport device or system. Do not touch live circuits Instrument covers must not be removed by operating personnel.
Servicing Do not substitute parts that are not approved by B&K Precision or modify this instrument. Return the instrument to B&K Precision for service and repair to ensure that safety and performance features are maintained. For continued safe use of the instrument Do not place heavy objects on the instrument. Do not obstruct cooling air flow to the instrument. Do not place a hot soldering iron on the instrument.

Section 1 General Description 1.1 INTRODUCTION B&K Precision Battery Capacity Analyzer Model 601B measures the terminal voltage, internal resistance, and percent of charged capacity left in a battery. The model 601B supports 6V & 12V storage type lead acid batteries with wide range of Ah capacity. No external power (Mains or DC) is required. The unit works on the BUT (Battery Under Test) power. 1.
Section 2 Operation 2.1 Front Panel Controls 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. Power / Select: Powers on unit after connecting to BUT. Also used to select Ah setting. After activation user can select the Ah values as per BUT rating using this key. Up: This key is used to increase the Ah values. Down: With this key, the user can decrease the Ah values. Test: On pressing this key the measurement will begin. Repeat Test: This key is used to repeat previously performed test.
2.2 Operating Procedure Follow the steps as outlined below: 2.2.1 Connection Procedure Connect Battery Capacity Analyzer (601B) to Battery Under Test (BUT). Connect the +ve terminal of 601B to +ve terminal of Battery. Connect -ve terminal of 601B to -ve terminal of Battery. The 601B will be powered by the BUT. To power on the unit, press & hold the POWER key. On Power up, 601B performs a memory test & displays open circuit voltage on LCD.
If the flash memory is corrupted, following Message is displayed: INT MEMORY ERROR LOADING DEFAULTS Next screen directs the user to the menu to select the sub-menu. The battery is auto-sensed & the defaults are loading accordingly. After memory test, the open circuit voltage is displayed on the first line of LCD, the required Ah value can be selected using up & down keys. OPEN CKT: 12.
X HIGH VOLTAGE X REMOTE BATTERY Once the test period elapses the following screen will be displayed. OPEN CKT: 12.53V SELECT Ah: 028 To start a new test, press SELECT Ah key & in order to repeat the same test, press TEST REPEAT key. To prevent unnecessary discharge of BUT, the unit will switch off automatically after 5 minutes of non-operational period. 1) Do not connect Model 601B to a voltage source more than 20V. 2) Do not connect the unit to a battery connected in circuit.
