Cell Voltage and Resistance Tester
The Cellcorder CRT-400 is
Alber's newest handheld cell voltage and resistance tester. This exciting
addition to Alber's test, diagnostic and trending products measures and records
cell float voltage, internal cell resistance, and intercell connection
resistance.
The Cellcorder CRT-400
features optional Bluetooth technology that lets the
technician focus on the batteries and test probes, without having to read
instructions on the display. The CRT-400 communicates via an earpiece,
delivering commands describing the next steps and confirming results. This
feature will be especially appreciated in dark or noisy battery room
environments.
Another exciting feature
is a new USB port and Flash drive that allows quick transfer of data files to a
computer. Using the Alber Battery Analysis Software, test results can be
displayed and analyzed to determine battery state of health. The Flash drive
also doubles as an interim storage device until test data is saved permanently.
As a bonus, the Bluetooth option can also transfer data files to a computer.
Other features include a
graphical reflective LCD display for better contrast, and new cables and clamps.
Accurate Data in a
Fraction of Normal Test Time
The Cellcorder cell
resistance tester displays and records cell float voltage, internal cell
resistance, and intercell connection resistance. A compatible hydrometer lets
you transfer specific gravity and temperature data using the IR port.
Use the Cellcorder on a single cell or multicell modules. The Flash drive allows
virtually unlimited data storage. Use the Flash drive, IR port or optional
Bluetooth to transfer readings to a PC for analysis and report generation.
The high contrast, 128 x 64 pixel, backlit graphical display shows menus and
test results. A fully charged Cellcorder can test for seven hours, and isolated
operation helps ensure safety and makes the Cellcorder easy to move around.
System Features
Float Voltage Readings - The Cellcorder measures the voltage
applied during full float operation. The voltage range covers all cells or
modules up to 20 volts, with accuracy to four full digits.
Internal Cell Resistance - Using a patented process, the
Cellcorder applies a momentary load and calculates internal cell resistance by
determining instantaneous voltage drop and load current. Algorithms make this
measurement possible on cells floating on-line or off-line.
Intercell Resistance - The Cellcorder measures the resistance
between two electrically connected cell terminals. The measurement consists of
connector resistance and contact resistance at the points of connection to the
cell terminals.
Auto Ranging - The Cellcorder automatically selects the correct
voltage range, load resistor, and test time.
Data Extraction and Analysis - After testing, transfer data to
the PC via Flash drive, IR interface or optional Bluetooth. Trending software
analyzes test data, displays results in graph or tabulated formats, and saves
and prints reports. You may export reports in ASCII, Excel
or comma-delimited format so other programs can generate customized reports.
Cellcorder Advantages
Low Cost - The Alber Cellcorder replaces three instruments that
individually cost more than this one. Significant savings also result from
taking more readings in less time and analyzing data faster.
Multicell Capability -The Cellcorder reads either single cells
or multicell modules.
Reliable Readings - The Cellcorder performs even in high noise
environments - without the need to disconnect the battery from service. Up to a
60 amp DC load (on 2V cells) is used to calculate internal cell resistance and
intercell resistance. Circuitry rejects the 50Hz/60Hz ripple often troublesome
to AC-based impedance and conductance meters.
The Cellcorder CRT-400 comes with a 256M Flash drive, resistance and voltage
test leads, carrying case, AC charger, and data trending and analysis software.
An optional printer is available.
