Fluke BT521 Battery Analyser

Fluke BT521 Battery Analyser

The Fluke BT521 is Flukes most advanced BT500 series battery analyser for test and measurement batter systems. The user is able to incorporate temperature testing into their testing thanks to the BTL21 test leads. The BTL21 Intelligent Test Probes with long and short extenders, built in LCD display for measurement viewing and speaker for visual and audible feedback. The integrated infrared temperature sensor allows for temperature measurements on the negative battery post to be taken with every test.

The Fluke BT521 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 BT521 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 BT521 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 Fluke BT521 has a rechargeable battery life of eight hours continuous use. Safety rated to 6000V CATIII and IP40 rated the Fluke BT521 allows for safe measurement all around the battery power supply equipment. Also included is a large soft carry case for added protection and transportation of the device.

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.
