Celltron ULTRA
This manual provides operating instructions for the
Midtronics Celltron
ULTRA Universal Stationary Battery
®
Analyzer. The instructions will help you to properly
configure the analyzer, select test parameters, conduct
tests, and manage data. It also provides information on
product maintenance, warranty, and service.
NOTE: The analyzer and manual use the word "jar" when
referring to a monobloc, which can contain 1 to 8
cells.
Safety
IMPORTANT: Read this instruction manual before using the
analyzer.
WARNING: To avoid electric shock when testing jars, follow
your company's safety practices and these guide-
lines:
•
Wear safety glasses or a face shield.
•
Wear protective rubber gloves.
•
Wear a protective apron or shop coat.
•
Perform service work only for which you have been
trained.
•
Do not disconnect the battery cables from power sys-
tems during the test without authorization.
•
Do not place yourself in an electrical circuit.
•
Avoid simultaneous contact with the jar and with frame
racks or hardware that may be grounded.
•
Do not operate the Celltron ULTRA with the battery
charger (AC adapter) attached.
•
Battery posts, terminals, and related accessories con-
tain lead and lead compounds, chemicals known to
cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive
harm. Wash hands after handling.

About The Analyzer
The Celltron ULTRA performs conductance testing on
stationary batteries used in UPS systems, power utility, and
telecommunications industries. Its advanced analysis and
data management tools are designed for universal use in
the following applications regardless of configuration:
The analyzer features two backlit graphical LCD, a digital
multimeter, a USB port for data storage and transfer to a PC.
The analyzer software includes an icon-based menu and
pre-loaded data on over 200 battery models to expedite
testing and record-keeping.
Test Capability
The Celltron ULTRA tests lead-acid batteries that are 2, 4,
6, 8, 10, 12, 14, and 16 V. The analyzer can test batteries
providing power to a load (in service) or not providing
power (not in service).
Measurements
The analyzer measures the status of a jar in voltages and
conductance values. It displays conductance values in
mhos ( ). Ampere hours (Ah) are a typical measurement
of jar capacity; however, they are difficult to measure
without knowing the load to which the jars supply power.
Midtronics recommends that you compare test results to a
conductance reference value. For more information about
determining a reference value, refer to Chapter 3.
