Fast results
Getting battery measurement results fast is critical
in the field. Immediately upon connection, the
603B measures and displays open battery voltage.
Battery voltage under load, state of charge and
internal resistance are determined within seconds,
by simply entering the battery ampere hour (Ah)
rating. Additionally, the 603B features a charger
circuit test for a complete evaluation of the
battery system.

Measurement recording
Battery maintenance programs typically include
periodic testing and record keeping. The 603B
stores battery measurement data to internal
memory for up to 50 batteries tracked by serial
number. Information like test date, test time,
building name, panel location and system type
are also recorded. The 603B includes computer
software to pre-configure the analyzer before field
testing. Once the analyzer is configured, simply
select the building record, verify the battery serial
number and start the test. This saves time while
minimizing data entry errors and simplifies
compiling inspection data for an unlimited
number of battery records.

The 603B stores battery and location details, test configuration, and
measurement data within the 50 battery records available in the unit. These
records are easily transferred to a computer, which allows for storage of an
unlimited number of record sets.
The last settings used are stored in memory to support quick testing of
batteries of the same type.

By providing the nominal internal resistance (NIR), the pass/fail indicator
makes it easy to identify a battery that has reached the end of its useful life.
Application software
Used to upload and download record sets. Edit and save records in row and

The internal resistance (IR) is a useful indicator of the battery’s health. As
the battery reaches its end of life, the IR will ramp up quickly, which reduces
the battery capacity and the amount of current available. In Record mode the
IR measurement is recorded in the 603B memory and can be uploaded to a
computer for later analyses.

Both the open voltage (VO) and the voltage under load (VL) are displayed
to provide additional information about the charger regulator circuit. Using
Record mode enables storage of results to internal memory. An adapter is
included to make it easy to connect to standard tab-type charger circuits.
Keeping records of the battery’s operating environment such as temperature is
helpful for understanding the battery’s life. The 603B records the predefined
temperature and prompts the user for adjustment after the test is completed.

At the core of the 603B is a programmable DC electronic load. This load can
be programmed in the field to test control panel outputs or end of line output
circuits. Load current can be set from 0.5 to 10 Amps and the time can be set
from 0.5 to 5.0 seconds. Open and loaded voltage is displayed after the test is
completed.
SOC Prof ile - SOC1
100 = 12.800V
90 = 12.650V
80 = 12.500V
SOC profile tables are used to evaluate the battery’s state of charge. One
default and 3 user-configurable tables are available for characterizing 6 V and
12 V batteries. The user defined tables allow advanced users to tune the 603B
to meet their specific needs.

The 603B can be calibrated by the user through the USB port using a
computer and reference power supply. Firmware updates are also installed via
the USB port.

Fan Start
When the battery’s internal resistance (IR) is above the user-set nominal value,
the open voltage measurement no longer results in an accurate SOC value. The
603B uses weighted values to more accurately represent the SOC. This feature
can be enabled by the user and its state is recorded in Record mode.
