Chapter 5: Selecting Test Parameters - Midtronics Celltron ULTRA Instruction Manual

Celltron ULTRA
If you are testing a string for the first time, use the NEW test
menu in BATTERY SETUP to create a string name and choose
its test parameters. If you make no selections, the analyzer
uses the default settings when you test the string. (See
Menu structure in Chapter 2.)
To begin: Make sure the memory card is inserted correctly.
The card's label should face the keypad. Press and hold the
POWER
button.
• The first time you turn on or connect the Celltron
ULTRA, it will display a reminder to set preferences
for the temperature units (Celsius or Fahrenheit)
and the jar and string WARN/FAIL thresholds.
Although you can press the
the message, it will continue to appear until you
change or accept the default settings.
• To protect its circuitry, the analyzer will not turn
on if the clamps/probes are connected in reverse
polarity (red to negative, black to positive).
• If the last file created, opened, or used does not
match any files on the memory card, the analyzer
will beep and display FILE NOT FOUND. The
analyzer's internal EEPROM memory stores the
last test used. When the analyzer powers on, it
looks for the last file used on the memory card. To
prevent the message from reappearing, insert the
card containing the file, open an existing file, or
create a new file on the card.
Creating a string name (FACTORY TEST)
A string name stores your test parameters, eliminating the
need to reenter data each time you test. The default name
is FACTORY TEST (or the last name created), which you can
overwrite with any 20-character combination of letters,
numbers, or symbols using the alphanumeric keypad.
