HIOKI BATTERY TESTER BT3554-50



BATTERY TESTER BT3554 (Built-in Bluetooth® wireless technology)


Streamline UPS and lead-acid battery diagnostics with measurement and recording guidance


Hioki portable battery testers support the maintenance of UPS and storage batteries critical to the life support of all businesses. The BT3554-50 battery internal resistance tester sets the standard for assessing the deterioration and remaining life of UPS and other lead-acid batteries by giving a complete diagnosis via battery resistance testing. The specially designed L2020 Pin Type Lead further improves testing efficiency with an L-shaped tip that lets you reach deep into the battery racks to completely probe the terminals.

Key Features

 

  • Battery measurement can be performed while the battery is connected to its host device, without taking it offline
  • Measure and save data in as fast as 2 seconds, a 60% improvement from the legacy 3554
  • Instantaneously diagnose battery degradation (PASS, WARNING, FAIL) by measuring internal resistance and voltage (*1)
  • Noise reduction technology improves noise resistance
  • Screen and audio (*2) guidance simplifies measurement
  • Measurement data is linked to site information and saved, reducing management man-hours
  • Easily transfer measurement data to your smartphone or tablet by using our free app GENNECT Cross (*3) or to an Excel® file. (Wireless Adapter Z3210 is necessary)
  • *1:The thresholds for determining the pass/fail condition of a battery depends on the specifications and standards of the battery manufacturer, battery type, capacity, etc. It is important and necessary to always conduct battery testing against the internal resistance and terminal voltage of a new or reference battery. In some cases, it may be difficult to determine the deterioration state of traditional open type (liquid) lead-acid or alkaline batteries which demonstrate smaller changes in internal resistance than sealed lead acid batteries.
  • *2:Audio generated by Bluetooth®-connected device.
  • *3:Data can be downloaded to tablets and smartphones using Hioki’s dedicated free app ''GENNECT Cross,'' available from the Google Play or App Store. (when using the Z3210)

Accurately assess lead-acid battery deterioration using proprietary technology

The new Battery Tester BT3554-50 sets a new standard for UPS and lead-acid battery diagnostics. Since the battery’s internal resistance and voltage are measured using the impedance method, diagnostics can be performed while the battery is connected to its host device, without taking it offline. Proprietary noise reduction technology allows more accurate measurement, even in noisy environments.


 

Generating comparative judgments based on a lead-acid battery’s internal resistance and voltage

By using its comparator function to simultaneously measure the internal resistance and voltage of a lead-acid, nickel-cadmium, or nickel-hydride battery, the BT3554-50 can generate comparative judgments quantifying degradation of the cell based on user-specified threshold values.
Furthermore, voltage sign detection facilitates instantaneous determination of whether batteries have been connected properly in newly installed UPS systems.

Applications: Manage other UPS inspection data together

GENNECT can serve as a central repository for managing data from Hioki clamp meters and other instruments.
Example: UPS inspection
1.UPS system ACV measurement (CM4372, CM4374)
2.DCV measurement (CM4372, CM4374)
3.AC/DC current measurement (CM4372, CM4374)
4.Ripple current measurement (CM4002)
5.Battery degradation diagnostics (BT3554-50)
6.Measurement site photograph


 

Saving data easily just by placing the leads in contact with a battery’s terminals

The BT3554-50 auto-hold function automatically holds measured values once they stabilize. The instrument’s auto-memory function, which automatically stores measured values resulting from the auto-hold function in its internal memory, further streamlines work tasks.
