6.2. Mostra informació

The 2.4-inch display provides comprehensive real-time and accumulated data:

• Voltage (Vol): Vol en temps realtage (V).
• Current (Cur): Real-time current (A).
• Power (Pwr): Real-time power (W).
• Accumulated Test Power (Ene): Total energy discharged (Wh). (1 kWh = 1000 Wh)
• Accumulated Testing Capacity (Cap): Total capacity discharged (Ah).
• Load Impedance (Res): Calculated load resistance (Ω).

• Accumulated Running Time: ddd~hh: mm: ss (day: hour: minute: second).
• Internal Temperature (IN): Temperature near the core discharge area.
• External Temperature (OUT): Temperature monitored by the external NTC sensor.

• Límit de temps: Configures limited time discharge (e.g., "00:03" for 3 minutes). "--:--" indicates unlimited discharge.
• Stop Discharge Voltage (-vol-): Sets the low-voltage llindar de protecció.

6.3. Modes de treball

The tester supports three primary working modes:

• CC (Constant Current Mode): Maintains a constant discharge current.
• CP (Constant Power Mode): Maintains a constant discharge power.
• CR (Constant Resistance Mode): Maintains a constant discharge resistance.

Use the encoder to set the desired discharge parameters (current, power, or resistance) for the selected mode.

6.4. Inici i aturada d'una prova

• After setting all parameters, press the Run/Stop button (3) to start the discharge program.
• Press the Run/Stop button (3) again to stop the program.

7. Característiques de protecció

The MDL150 Battery Tester includes multiple safety protections to ensure safe operation:

• OVP (Overvoltage Protecció): Adjustable up to 150V. Triggers if voltage exceeds the set limit.
• OCP (Protecció de sobreintensitat): Adjustable up to 20A. Triggers if current exceeds the set limit.
• OPP (Overpower Protection): Adjustable up to 150W. Triggers if power exceeds the set limit.
• OTP (Protecció contra sobretemperatura): Triggers if the internal temperature exceeds 75 °C.
• Voltage Limited Discharge (Low-Voltage Protecció): Supports setting a minimum voltage threshold to stop discharge. Defaults to no voltage limited discharge.

When a protection is triggered, the display will show the corresponding status (e.g., OVP, OCP, OPP, OTP).

8. Manteniment

• Refrigeració: The programmable fan automatically runs when the internal temperature is ≥ 40 °C or the current is > 3A to ensure optimal operating temperature. Ensure the cooling fan (9) is not obstructed.
• Neteja: Keep the device clean and free from dust. Use a soft, dry cloth for cleaning. Do not use liquid cleaners.
• Emmagatzematge: Guardeu el dispositiu en un lloc sec i fresc, allunyat de la llum solar directa i de temperatures extremes.
