3.1 Quick Test Mode - Pass/Fail
ThePass/failoptioncomparesabatteries’internalresistancetoaknowngoodnominalvalueanddeterminesifthe
batteryundertestisPASSorFAIL.TheNominalInternalResistanceor“NIR”valueisoptional.IftheNIRissettothe
defaultofvalueofN/Athe603BwilldisplayRS:N/A.TheNIRenterediscomparedtothebatteryundertestmeasured
IR.Ifthebatteryundertestislessthanorequalto160%oftheNIRvaluethe603Bwilldisplay“RS:PASS”intheeld.If
thevalueisabove160%the603Bwilldisplay“RS:PASS”intheeld.
Example:TheNIRissetbytheuserto23milliohmsthenthethresholdcanbecalculated:
160%XNIR=1.6X23=36.8
Ifthe603BmeasuredIRisequaltoorgreaterthan36.8the603BwilldisplayRS:FAIL
Threemethodscanbeusedtodeterminethe“NIR”valuetobeenter.
1. FindtheIRvalueonthebatterymanufacturer’sdatasheet.
2. Usethe603BtomeasuretheIRofaknowngoodbatteryofthesametype.
3. UseanotherbatteryanalyzerliketheB&KPrecisionmodelBA6010tomeasurebatteries’IR.
Note:Theknowngoodbatteryshouldbenewandmadebythesamemanufacturerwiththesamemodelnumber.
1. SettheAhvalueasdescribeinQuickTest,SOCsection.
 IftheAhvalueiscorrectmovetothenextstep.
2. Pressthebuttontomovethecursorovertothe“NIR=…“eld.
TherangeincludesN/Aand1to100.Pressandholdisalsosupportedforrapidchanges.
3. EntertheNIRusingthebuttons.Pressandholdisalsosupportedforrapidchanges.
4. Pressthebuttontoproceed.
TheNIRenterediscomparedtothebatteryundertestmeasuredIR.Ifthebatteryundertestislessthanorequalto
160%oftheNIRvaluethe603BwilldisplaywillindicatePASSinthe“RS:”eld.Ifthevalueisabove160%the603Bwill
displaywillindicateFAIL.Thispercentagecannotbechanged
