The testing procedure explained in this chapter represents a
generic application of the BITE 2/2P. Actual test scenarios
may differ with each application. Contact Megger if you need
additional information about a specific test procedure.
NOTE: Before performing tests on any battery system, read,
understand, and observe all safety precautions as outlined in
Chapter 2 "Safety", which starts on page 9 of this manual.
The BITE 2/2P is used to test battery strings while the dc
system is at float potential. It can store up to 2040 cell/jar
records in up to 300 tests. The transmitter can provide test
current for battery strings of up to 275 V dc.
NOTE: If the battery under test is greater than 275 V dc, the
string must be tested in sections. Refer to "Sectioning a
Battery System" on page 49 for information on sectioning a
battery.
Using the BITE 2/2P to test a battery string involves the
following steps:
1. Perform pretest activities such as recording information
about the test site, visually inspecting the condition of the
battery, and recording the temperature.
2. Power on the receiver and follow menus.
3. Scan test information with the bar-code wand (optional).
4. Split the strap (if needed).
