Albér CRT- 300 Cellcorder®Quick Start
On - Press power key.
Off - Press and hold the
green power key until
“Release power button”
appears.
Connect the voltage
probes to the CRT-300.
Select Mode|Voltage.
Connect the resistance
leads to the CRT, but not
to the cell under test.
Select Mode|Resistance.
If “Stored in Memory”
appears, either Retest or
change cell number.
If “Resume Testing”
appears, place voltage
probes on the cell.
When the CRT beeps,
remove the probes. The
cell number advances
automatically.
Save the readings when
done.
Specify the number of
intercell connections per
cell or select Combined
or Computed.
Select the amp hour rate
of the cell being tested.
At “Ready to Test,”
connect the three clip
resistance probes to the
cell and intercell under
test. If testing cells with
single intercell
connectors, connect the
probes as follows:
1. Red clip to the
positive post of the cell
being tested.
Power On / Off
Voltage Readings
Resistance Readings
2. Red/black clip to the
negative post of the cell
being tested.
3. Black clip to the
positive post of the next
cell.
Note: If testing cells that
require two to four
intercell measurements,
refer to Application Note
CC-002 in the manual.
Press the Test key. After
the cell or intercell
reading appears, move
probes to the next cell or
intercell. Press Test to
continue.
If the cell requires two or
more intercell resistance
readings, move the
red/black and black
leads across the next
intercell connection.
Press Test to continue.
The cell number
advances automatically.

(infrared), first choose a
file to add the readings
to by selecting Load|
Access Cell Data.

Save the Readings to
Memory Card
To save readings, insert
a memory card into the
CRT. Press Shift then
Save.
Type a file name (8 char
max, no spaces).
Press the Save (F2) key.
After the file is saved,
you can copy it from the
memory card to a PC.
Note: Saving readings
does not delete them
from the CRT. The
memory card does not
support subdirectories.
Highlight a CDF file
name and press Select.
Select Mode|SG/Temp,
then press Import.
Power on the hydro-
meter data module and
select a string (A to H)
on the module.
Align the CRT and data
module IR ports. Press
Continue on the CRT.
When the CRT displays
SG and Temp for Cell
001, upload is done.
On the CRT, press
Cancel then Back to
display the main menu.
Save the file.
A site setup lets you record details for a particular
location and use the same information for future
testing. You may select a site before testing cell
voltage or resistance, but this is not required. To
access sites, insert the memory card then select
Load|Access Setup Data. If no sites exist, the “New
Site” screen appears. Press the arrows to view sites.
To select a site before testing, select Load|Access
Setup Data. Press the arrows to step to a site, then
press Select. If “Active Site” displays the correct site
name, press Continue to return to the main menu.
Working with Cellcorder Sites Thresholds
To set up CRT (not site
file) thresholds, select
Setup|Threshold. Select
a parameter (voltage,
etc.). Press the arrows
to change values, then
press Accept.
Thresholds changed
here override those
loaded from a site.
Thresholds remain in
CRT memory until reset
or a new site is loaded.
Out-of-tolerance
readings are indicated
by two beeps or reverse
video.
Don’t insert / remove the
memory card when the
Smart Media LED is lit.
