This manual provides operating instructions for the

Midtronics Celltron®ULTRA Universal Stationary Battery

Analyzer. The instructions will help you to properly

congure the analyzer, select test parameters, conduct

tests, and manage data. It also provides information on

product maintenance, warranty, and service.

NOTE: The analyzer and manual use the word “jar” when

referring to a monobloc, which can contain 1 to 8

cells.

Safety

IMPORTANT: Read this instruction manual before using the

analyzer.

WARNING: To avoid electric shock when testing jars, follow

your company’s safety practices and these guide-

lines:

• Wearsafetyglassesorafaceshield.

• Wearprotectiverubbergloves.

• Wearaprotectiveapronorshopcoat.

• Perform service work only for which you have been

trained.

• Donotdisconnectthebatterycablesfrompowersys-

tems during the test without authorization.

• Donotplaceyourselfinanelectricalcircuit.

•

Avoid simultaneous contact with the jar and with frame

racks or hardware that may be grounded.

• Do not operate the Celltron ULTRA with the battery

charger (AC adapter) attached.

• Battery posts, terminals, and related accessories con-

tain lead and lead compounds, chemicals known to

cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive

harm. Wash hands after handling.

About The Analyzer

The Celltron ULTRA performs conductance testing on

stationarybatteriesusedinUPSsystems,powerutility,and

telecommunications industries. Its advanced analysis and

data management tools are designed for universal use in

the following applications regardless of conguration:

UPSSystems,120,220/240,480,600volts

PowerUtility(Switching,SCADA,etc.)

TelecomOSP,–48/+24volts

TelecomCentralOce,–48/+24volts

CATV

The analyzer features two backlit graphical LCD, a digital

multimeter,aUSBportfordatastorageandtransfertoaPC.

The analyzer software includes an icon-based menu and

pre-loaded data on over 200 battery models to expedite

testing and record-keeping.

Test Capability

The Celltron ULTRA tests lead-acid batteries that are 2, 4,

6, 8, 10, 12, 14, and 16 V. The analyzer can test batteries

providing power to a load (in service) or not providing

power (not in service).

Measurements

The analyzer measures the status of a jar in voltages and

conductance values. It displays conductance values in

mhos (

). Ampere hours (Ah) are a typical measurement

of jar capacity; however, they are difficult to measure

without knowing the load to which the jars supply power.

Midtronics recommends that you compare test results to a

conductance reference value. For more information about

determining a reference value, refer to Chapter 3.
