Chapter 5: Selecting test parameters

If you are testing a string for the fi rst 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 fi rst 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 BACK key to bypass 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 fi le created, opened, or used does not match any fi les 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 fi le used on the
memory card. To prevent the message from reappearing, insert the card containing the fi le,
open an existing fi le, or create a new fi le on the card.
Creating a string name
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.
1. Press the ARROW keys to highlight the BATTERY SETUP icon, and press ENTER .
2. Press the ARROW keys to highlight the NEW icon, and press ENTER .
3. When the prompt RENAME NEW STRING appears, press ENTER to create a new string
name.
4. The default string name or the last string tested will appears. Press ENTER for the editing
screen.
5. The cursor will blink to the right of the last character. To backspace and overwrite characters,
press the BACK key as many times as needed.
6. Enter the character, symbol, or number you want by rapidly pressing its key as many times
as needed. If you pause, the cursor moves to the right. To enter a space between characters,
press the key twice.
7. Press ENTER when fi nished.
8. The string name you created appears at the top of the parameters list. The name is high-
lighted, enabling you press ENTER to change it again before selecting your test parameters.
To continue selecting parameters press the ARROW keys.
