  • Page 49: Testing Sequence (Series)

    6.5.4 Testing Sequence (Series) NOTE: A positive ground configuration does not cause polarity to change, plus (+) is still plus and carries a positive charge with respect to the negative (-) terminal or minus. • Follow the series connections from the most positive cell to the most negative cell.
  • Page 50: Determining A Reference Value

    Differences can reflect how a string was treated, installed, maintained, or is aging. Options In Determining A Reference Value If you want a value specific to the string you are testing, Franklin Electric recommends that you create your own reference value. The following options are listed in the order you should take to obtain a reference value.
  • Page 51: Testing A Sample Of Cells / Batteries

    IMPORTANT: Always test on the lead post for the most consistent results. To prevent lower measures, avoid tests on stainless-steel hardware or bolts. NOTE: Power outages can affect test results. Do not test the string if a power outage occurred recently and the string is boost-charging (equalize charge mode). Wait 48 hours to allow battery string to return to equilibrium after a power outage and recharge has occurred.
  • Page 52: Data Manager

    Data Manager Updating The Firmware NOTE: When performing an update make sure your battery is fully charged! NOTE: Once the update is complete, the tester turns off automatically. NOTE: All of your data will not be lost, but to be safe, back up your data to an external drive.

    Troubleshooting Device Connection Issues 9.1.1 Root Cause: Date/Time Issue Wi-Fi Routers and server security will reject a connection if the date and time is not set properly for its location. • The CADD is unable to configure NTP servers and therefore has a tendency for date/time to drift.
