with record storage

Model 603B

The 603B handheld battery capacity analyzer

tests 6 and 12 volt sealed lead acid batteries with

capacities up to 100 ampere hour (Ah). Test

results include voltage, state of charge, and

internal resistance. This analyzer also features a

built-in USB port and internal memory to store

battery information, test configuration, and

measurement results for up to 50 batteries.

Application

Ideal choice for testing sealed lead acid

batteries commonly used in intrusion

detection, fire alarm, security camera, access

control, industrial control and other battery

Fast results

Getting battery measurement results fast is critical

in the field. Immediately upon connection, the

603B measures and displays open battery voltage.

Battery voltage under load, state of charge and

internal resistance are determined within seconds,

by simply entering the battery ampere hour (Ah)

rating. Additionally, the 603B features a charger

circuit test for a complete evaluation of the

battery system.

Measurement recording

Battery maintenance programs typically include

periodic testing and record keeping. The 603B

stores battery measurement data to internal

memory for up to 50 batteries tracked by serial

number. Information like test date, test time,

building name, panel location and system type

are also recorded. The 603B includes computer

software to pre-configure the analyzer before field

testing. Once the analyzer is configured, simply

select the building record, verify the battery serial

number and start the test. This saves time while

minimizing data entry errors and simplifies

compiling inspection data for an unlimited

number of battery records.

Operation highlights

The internal resistance (IR) is a useful indicator of the battery’s health. As

the battery reaches its end of life, the IR will ramp up quickly, which reduces

the battery capacity and the amount of current available. In Record mode the

IR measurement is recorded in the 603B memory and can be uploaded to a

computer for later analyses.

The 603B stores battery and location details, test configuration, and

measurement data within the 50 battery records available in the unit. These

records are easily transferred to a computer, which allows for storage of an

unlimited number of record sets.

Operation highlights

At the core of the 603B is a programmable DC electronic load. This load can

be programmed in the field to test control panel outputs or end of line output

circuits. Load current can be set from 0.5 to 10 Amps and the time can be set

from 0.5 to 5.0 seconds. Open and loaded voltage is displayed after the test is

completed.

LC : 12.25A LT: 2.0sec

VO : 12.13V VC: 11 . 95V

The 603B can be calibrated by the user through the USB port using a

computer and reference power supply. Firmware updates are also installed via

the USB port.

State of Charge (SOC) weighting

When the battery’s internal resistance (IR) is above the user-set nominal value,

the open voltage measurement no longer results in an accurate SOC value. The

603B uses weighted values to more accurately represent the SOC. This feature

can be enabled by the user and its state is recorded in Record mode.

SOC profile tables are used to evaluate the battery’s state of charge. One

default and 3 user-configurable tables are available for characterizing 6 V and

12 V batteries. The user defined tables allow advanced users to tune the 603B

to meet their specific needs.

State of Charge (SOC) profiles

Both the open voltage (VO) and the voltage under load (VL) are displayed

to provide additional information about the charger regulator circuit. Using

Record mode enables storage of results to internal memory. An adapter is

included to make it easy to connect to standard tab-type charger circuits.

Charge circuit testing

Keeping records of the battery’s operating environment such as temperature is

helpful for understanding the battery’s life. The 603B records the predefined

temperature and prompts the user for adjustment after the test is completed.
