  • Page 4 Dual display to show the internal resistance and voltage of the battery simultaneously. The RE856 has 99 sets of composite comparator function, which can be set at resistance and voltage values to get the reliable detection of battery deterioration.
  • Page 6 LCD Display key: To turn the beeper on or off To decrease the displayed value Hold this key for 2 seconds to change the temperature units key: To store one set of readings to memory To move the cursor to the left Hold this key for 2 seconds to auto-memory mode, press this key again to exit Hold this key for 4 seconds to auto data logging mode, press this key again to exit key:...
  • Page 7 : Auto power off function is enabled : Resistance zero adjustment function is on : Display is locked : Auto-hold function is on : Auto-memory function is on : Average function is on : Beeper is turned on : The battery is low : Measured voltage or comparator resistance high limit setting : Measured resistance or comparator resistance low limit setting : Measured DC current or comparator voltage low limit setting...
  • Page 8 : Measured battery discharge capacity : Measured battery total capacity ( : The calculated remaining capacity of the battery : Shown when the comparator function is on : Indicates the number of data memory (1-999) or the comparator table number (1-99) : Flashes once when data is stored to memory : Shown when the read function is on : indicates the elapsed time or the real time (day : hour : minute : second)
  • Page 9 Accessories Clip-type test lead with temperature sensor, pin-type test lead, DCA current adaptor, zero adjustment board, instruction manual, batteries, AC adaptor, USB cable, CD PC software (also available at www.valen.com.au), carrying case. Temperature 23°C ± 5°C Humidity 80% RH or less (no condensation) Temperature Coefficient 0.10 x (specified accuracy)/°C (<18°C or >28°C)

  • Page 11 Connect the RED test lead to the SOURCE + terminal. Connect the BLACK test lead to the SOURCE - terminal. Connect the YELLOW test lead to the SENSE + terminal. Connect the BLUE test lead to the SENSE - terminal. Connect the BLUE miniature plug of the clip-type test lead with temperature sensors to the TEMP.
  • Page 12 The zero-adjustment function is to zero the range of resistance. The reading during zero adjustment will be taken as zero and will be used to calibrate subsequent measurements. Using the supplied zero-adjustment board, zero-adjustment can be carried out according to the AC four terminal method.
  • Page 13 Short the SOURCE and SENSE of the clip type test lead with the temperature sensor together as shown in the image below: The other procedure is the same as the pin-type test lead zero adjustment. Press the key, appears on the display and the display is locked. Press the key again to exit.
  • Page 14 Press key again to store the setting and exit. Connect the yellow miniature plug of the DCA current adaptor to the meter DCA CLAMP ADAPTOR jack. USE DCA CURRENT ADAPTOR: Press the key of the DCA Current Adaptor to turn on the adaptor, the POWER LED will light. If the LOW BATTERY LED lights, you should replace the battery.
  • Page 15 Rotate the resistance range switch to OFF position, turn off the meter. Press and hold down the key, then rotate the resistance range switch to any range to turn on the meter, the symbol will disappear. Press the key for 2 seconds, the ‘SET TIME’ appears on the display. Press keys to set up the real time;...
  • Page 16 Beeper Beeper Beeper Beeper Beeper Voltage comparison value = (high limit voltage value + low voltage value)/2 Press key to set the beeper on, the indication will appear on the display, and the beeper will sound when getting the result. Press again to set the beeper off.
  • Page 17 Disable auto power off function (see Disable Auto Power Off Function). Perform the DC current measurement (see DC Current Measurement steps 1 to 3). Connect the full discharged battery to the Battery Charger, using the DCA current adaptor clamp the current transducer (jaw) around the ‘+’ conductor. Power on the Battery Charger, the meter will be display the charge current value with a plus sign and the battery accumulated charging capacity ( Connect the battery load to the battery and use DC current adaptor clamp the current...
  • Page 18 When the memory is full, the memory number ‘999’ will appear on the display and memory function will be stopped. Rotate the resistance range switch to the OFF position to turn off the meter. Press and hold the key then rotate the resistance range switch to turn on, the display shows ‘CLr, YES, m, no’...
  • Page 19 Micro SD Card 4GB (maximum 99 blocks) Press the key for 4 seconds, the display will show SET INTV. Using the keys, select the desired interval time from 3 seconds to 255 seconds. Press the key again to exit. Press the key for 4 seconds to begin the continuously logging mode, the display will show the symbol flashing.
  • Page 21 HDD, CD Rom, 486 PC or above, with available COM port/USB port EGA or higher 4M bytes or more memory size Switch off all power related to the PC. Connect the USB cable to an available port. Switch on all related power. Connect the optical plug end of the supplied cable to the meter.
