Micro Celltron Test Kits CTM-100 and CTM-300 Operating Manual
The MICRO CELLTRON is a microprocessor based test instrument that measures the conductance (Ohmic) value of lead-acid batteries and reports the results in Siemens (G). The Micro Celltron will measure the conductance of single cell (2 Volt) through six cell (12 Volt) batteries, either on-line or off-line. Test results are displayed as a direct reading in Mhos (Siemens) and as a percent (%) of a reference conductance value. The Micro Celltron provides quick, accurate, safe, repeatable and easy to understand test results. As many as 252 consecutive test results can be stored internally. The results can be printed via an Infrared Printer (Part #A050) for hard copy documentation, or transferred to a PC with our Battery Management Software and Infrared Receiver module (#C060) for database storage and analysis. The Micro Celltron is fully Y2K compliant.
Every Midtronics Conductance meter uses the same general electrical test described as an Ohmic or conductance test. This test technique can be used to identify the general condition of any battery within a group of batteries, or to compare a group of batteries to a known conductance reference value. Conductance testing is intended to provide a simple, quick, safe and accurate way to help identify which batteries are serviceable, which ones may be failing, or to find any battery that may have reached the end of its useful life. For a given battery type, high conductance indicates more reserve capacity or a higher state of relative health. Midtronics’ conductance testers use a value called Mhos or Siemens to describe the Ohmic Signature we observe in stationary or standby batteries.
What is a Mho? What is a Siemen? What is a “G”?
The term Mho(s), Siemen(s) and G are interchangeable. Mhos are more common in the U.S. while the rest of the world generally uses the term Siemens. “G” is the abbreviation for Siemens. These are both electrical terms used to describe an ohmic measurement, which is inversely proportionate to electrical resistance. Mho is Ohm spelled backward, and conductance testing is also sometimes referred to as admittance testing.
What is a Jar?
In the Micro Celltron, a jar defines the physical element that contains one or more individual cell elements. A jar can contain between 1 and 6 cells. The Micro Celltron can be configured to test 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 or 12 volt “jars”.
