  • 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:

MDL150 Battery Tester working modes display
Figure 7: Display showing the available working modes: CC, CP, CR.
  • 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:

MDL150 Battery Tester protection status display
Figure 8: Display showing various protection statuses (STOP, DSG, END, OPP, OCP, OVP, OTP).
  • 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.
