CONVENTIONS USED IN THIS MANUAL
This manual includes safety precautions and other important information presented in the following format:
NOTE: This provides helpful supplementary information.
IMPORTANT: This provides important supplementary information and instructions to avoid damaging hardware or a potential hazard.
CAUTION: This indicates a potentially hazardous situation that could result in minor or moderate injury if not avoided. This may also be used to alert against
unsafe practices.
WARNING: This indicates a potentially hazardous situation that could result in severe injury or death if not avoided.
DANGER: This indicates an imminently hazardous situation that will result in death if not avoided.
OPERATING PRECAUTIONS
WARNING: Important safety instructions. Before installing any Franklin Electric equipment, read this document and follow safety and operating instructions.
Save these instructions.
WARNING: Risk of explosive gases: Batteries generate explosive gases during normal operation, and when discharged or charged.
WARNING: To reduce risk of battery explosion, follow these safety instructions and those published by the battery manufacturer and the manufacturer of any
equipment to be used in the vicinity of a battery. Review cautionary marking on these products and on the battery cabinets, battery racks, battery rooms, and on
equipment containing the battery.
WARNING: Do not disassemble any equipment; contact Franklin Electric when a repair is required. Incorrect reassembly may result in a risk of electric shock, fire or
other hazardous situation.
WARNING: Use Franklin Electric equipment in dry, well-ventilated area(s).
WARNING: Do not expose Franklin Electric equipment to rain, snow, or other moisture.
WARNING: To avoid electric shock when testing jars, abide by your company’s safety practices and the following guidelines:
WARNING: Service work may only be performed by authorized personnel for procedures which they have satisfactorily been trained to execute.
WARNING: Refer to NFPA 70E for electrical safety requirements.
WARNING: Use of Personal Protection Equipment (PPE) and Protective Clothing per NFPA 70E guidelines is required. Some examples of these (but not limited
to) are: Electrical-insulating, acid-resistant, and protective gloves and sleeves per ASTM D 120, OSHA 29 CFR 1910.137, and NFPA 70E requirements; Protective
footwear; Aprons (acid-resistant); Insulating blankets; On-site spill kits; Protective clothing for voltage levels, level of corrosive protection, and the amount of arc-flash
protection provided; Insulated rescue hooks or other means for pulling personnel from live circuits; Eyewash stations or portable eyewash bottles; Class “C” dry chemical
re-extinguishers instead of water around battery systems.
WARNING: Always have someone within vocal range, or close enough to come to aid, when working around lead acid batteries.
WARNING: Have plenty of fresh water and baking soda nearby in case battery acid contacts skin, clothing or eyes.
WARNING: If battery acid contacts skin or clothing, wash immediately with baking soda and water. If acid enters the eye, immediately flush with cold running water for
at least 10 – 15 minutes, and seek medical attention.
WARNING: Never smoke or allow a spark or flame in the vicinity of a battery or engine.
WARNING: Be extra cautious to reduce the risk of dropping a metal tool onto the battery or other component, potentially causing a spark, short circuit or other
electrical part to possibly explode.
WARNING: Before working with a lead-acid battery, remove personal metal items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces, watches, etc. A lead-acid battery can produce a
short circuit current high enough to weld such items causing a severe burn.
WARNING: Always wear safety glasses with side shields in the vicinity of battery work per 29CFR1910.133 (OSHA).
WARNING: Do not disconnect the battery cables from power systems during the test without authorization.
WARNING: Do not place yourself in an electrical circuit.
WARNING: Avoid simultaneous contact with the jar and with the battery cabinet, racks, or hardware that may be grounded.
WARNING: Battery posts, terminals, and related accessories contain lead and lead compounds, chemicals known to cause cancer and birth defects or other
reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling.

2.1 General Safety Information
• Only perform procedures in this document that you are qualified and certified to perform.
• Personnel working on or with energized equipment must be authorized by
relevant regulatory bodies to carry out such work and must have the appropriate
training. Check with your employer and relevant regulatory body’s rules for
working with energized equipment.
• Obey all local laws, rules, regulations, and instructions in this document. In
case of inconsistency or contradiction between information contained in this
document and any laws, rules and regulations, obey the stricter of the two.
• Keep unqualified personnel at a safe distance during installation.
• Always wear all required PPE (see Section 2.3) on-site and during installation.
• If it is necessary to remove safety/security devices, immediately reinstall the
safety / security devices after completing the work.
• If you are uncertain as to the type of battery you are trying to test, contact the
seller or battery manufacturer.
• Do not operate the tester if it has received a sharp blow, been dropped or
otherwise damaged in any way; contact Franklin Electric customer service.
EMERGENCY EQUIPMENT

2.2 Hazard Assessment
Prior to beginning work and prior to recommencing work after leaving and returning
to the worksite, a worksite, pre-job hazard assessment must be performed to identify
safety and environmental needs. At a minimum, this hazard assessment should:
• Identify possible hazards and risks.
• Identify the safety needs of the job.
• Identify the correct procedures, practices and equipment.
• Eliminate unsafe conditions and actions from the worksite.
• Identify the need for personal protective equipment.
• Inspect equipment before use.
• Confirm sheaths of all cables are secured and undamaged.
• Confirm plugs and connectors are properly connected and serviceable.
• Perform ongoing risk assessment during the project.
2.3 Required Personal Protective Equipment (PPEs)

3 Overview
This lightweight handheld tester, lets
users quickly conduct a full battery
performance assessment which
can be uploaded wirelessly to the
web-based UNITE™ database for
centralized data storage, proactive
maintenance planning, and
compliance reporting.
The CADD easily performs
conductance testing on stationary batteries used in UPS systems, power utility, and
telecommunications industries. Its advanced analysis and data management tools are
designed for universal use in the following applications regardless of configuration:
• UPS Systems, 120, 220/240, 480, 600 VDC.
• Power Utility (Switching, SCADA, etc.).
• Telecommunications , -48 / +24 VDC.
• CATV, 12, 24, 36, 48 VDC.
• The tester features a backlit graphical LCD, a digital multimeter, and 2 MB of
memory for data storage and transfer to a PC. The tester software includes an
icon-based menu and pre-loaded data on over 250 battery models to expedite
testing and record-keeping.
Test Capability
The CADD tests lead-acid cells and NiCd (nickel cadmium) batteries with nominal
voltages of; 1.2, 2, 4, 6, 8, 12 ,16, 18 VDC . The CADD can test batteries providing
power to a load (in service) or not providing power (not in service).
Measurements
The tester measures the status of a cell/battery in voltage, conductance, temperature
and strap resistance values. It displays conductance values in Siemens (S). Ampere
hours (Ah) are a typical measurement of cell/battery capacity; however, they are
dicult to measure without knowing the load to which the cells/batteries supply
power. Franklin Electric recommends that you compare test results to a conductance
reference value. See Section 7 for more information about reference values.
Test Range
The tester has an operating range of 100 - 19,990 S. This range includes cells/batteries
that have about 10 to 6000 Ah of reserve capacity.
Data Storage
The tester’s flash memory can store up to 2MB of hierarchy structure and test data.
