Fluke BT520 Battery Analyser

The Fluke BT520 Battery Analyser is made for use with stationary and battery back up systems allowing for voltage, resistance and ripple voltage. The resistance of the intercell connection between batteries in a string can be conducted using the Intercell strap resistance test and data management

The intuitive user interface and compact rugged design of the Fluke BT520 ensure an optimum performance, test results and reliability. Combined visual and audible feedback cues reduces the risk of measurement confusion. The device also offers users the chance to configure values and thresholds for resistance and voltage. Users can configure a maximum of 10 sets of thresholds and receive Pass/ Warning/ Fail indications after each test measurement. Results can be compared after each measurement via the visual and audible cues. Up to 999 records can be stored in the internal memory, each with a measurement position and time stamp.

The Fluke BT520 includes ergonomic test leads featuring rugged coaxial two pole kelvin test point with remote save button, reducing the test time. Long reach, straight and angled probes for double stacked cells. Included with the BT520 are intelligent test probes automatic and manual sequence testing of battery strings using the sequence measurement mode. The BTL20 Intelligent probe set includes long and short probe extenders with built in LCD display with visual and audible feedback.

Fluke Battery Management Software

All measurement recordings are automatically captured on the BT520 using AutoSave and allow for instance reviewing on the instrument. Data can be downloaded straight from the device to a PC via the USB port. The measurement data and battery profile data is stored and archived using the management software. Users are able compare trends for analysed. Reports can be generated for measurement data, battery profile and analysis information.
