The
Alber Cellcorder CLC-200 at a Glance
The Alber
Cellcorder data storing, battery multimeter provides accurate information
in a fraction of time. This lightweight unit displays and records readings
of cell float voltage, internal cell resistance, and intercell connection resistance.
You may enter other data, such as specific gravity and temperature,
manually or automatically using a compatible hydrometer.
Use the Cellcorder on a single cell or multicell modules. Automatic data
storage for seven strings of 256 cells each or 28 strings of 64 cells each
saves time and ensures a permanent record of readings. An RS-232 port
allows data transfer to a computer for further analysis and report
generation.
The bright, four line by 20 character display shows test results and
operation instructions. With its internal battery fully charged, the
Cellcorder can test for six hours. Isolated operation makes the unit
portable, safe, and easy to move around. Recharge or AC power is via a wall
plug adapter.
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 16
volts. Reading accuracy is to four full digits.
Internal Cell
Resistance - The internal resistance of a cell is calculated
by how that cell responds to a momentary load, using instantaneous voltage
drop and applied 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 contact resistance and
connector resistance at the points of connection to the cell terminals.
Auto
Ranging - The Cellcorder automatically selects the correct voltage
range, load resistor, and time for a test.
Data Extraction and
Analysis - After testing, you may connect the Cellcorder
via RS-232 to a computer to analyze test data, display results in bar graph
or tab format, and print a test report or save it to a file. You can export
this file in ASCII or comma-delimited format to have off-the-shelf programs
or the optional Cellcorder trending software generate customized reports.
Cellcorder
Advantages
Low
Cost - Because the Alber Cellcorder replaces three instruments,
each costing more than the Cellcorder, you will realize significant savings
from taking more readings in less time and analyzing data more rapidly.
Multicell Capability
-The Cellcorder provides readings on either single cells or multicell
modules.
Reliable Readings
- The Cellcorder performs superbly, even in high noise environments,
without having to disconnect the battery from service. The instrument uses
up to a 70 amp DC load (on 2V cells) to calculate internal cell resistance
and intercell resistance. Circuitry rejects the 60Hz ripple often
troublesome to AC-based impedance and conductance meters.
The
CLC-200 Cellcorder comes with test leads, carrying case, download software,
AC adapter, and interface cable. Data and trend analysis software is
included.
