    3.1 Quick Test Mode - Pass/Fail The Pass/fail option compares a batteries’ internal resistance to a known good nominal value and determines if the battery under test is PASS or FAIL. The Nominal Internal Resistance or “NIR” value is optional. If the NIR is set to the default of value of N/A the 603B will display RS: N/A. The NIR entered is compared to the battery under test measured IR. If the battery under test is less than or equal to 160% of the NIR value the 603B will display “RS: PASS” in the field. If the value is above 160% the 603B will display “RS: PASS” in the field. Example: The NIR is set by the user to 23 milliohms then the threshold can be calculated: 160% X NIR = 1.6 X 23 = 36.8 If the 603B measured IR is equal to or greater than 36.8 the 603B will display RS: FAIL Three methods can be used to determine the “NIR” value to be enter. 1. Find the IR value on the battery manufacturer’s data sheet. 2. Use the 603B to measure the IR of a known good battery of the same type. 3. Use another battery analyzer like the B&K Precision model BA6010 to measure batteries’ IR. Note: The known good battery should be new and made by the same manufacturer with the same model number. 1.

    Weighting is an estimating method used to provide a more useful representation of the batteries’ State of Charge (SOC). The user must provide the nominal internal resistance (NIR) value for this feature to function. NIR can be entered in the Quick test mode for using during the Quick test or added to the record for use in Record Mode. When SOC Weighting is turned off the 603B calculates the SOC using the same method as a volt meter and an SOC chart. The batteries open terminal voltage and a lookup table in memory is used to find and estimate the batteries remaining capacity. If SOC Weighting is On the IR and NIR are compared and if the measured IR is not equal to NIR the remaining battery capacity displayed is reduced. Increased battery IR is a normal part of the battery aging process. The weighting algorithm used in the 603B is suitable for most SLA type batteries used in the alarm, CCTV, and access control industries. Three methods can be used to determine the “NIR” value to be enter. 1. Find the IR value on the battery manufacturer’s data sheet. 2. Use the 603B to measure the IR of a new battery. 3. Use another battery analyzer like the B&K Precision model BA6010 to measure batteries’ IR. Note: The known good battery should be new and made by the same manufacturer with the model number. 4.6.10 Firmware Version To view the firmware version, 1.
