Chapter 1 General
SBS-6000 Storage Battery Impendence Analyzer is the most powerful
and well performed storage battery test equipment. It is a
multipurpose impendence instrument and micro ohm meter with the
most complete functions and supports the domestic and foreign
standards. The equipment can test all kinds of battery like 2V, 4V, 6V, 8V,
12V, 24V, 48V, it can also test resistance of conductor and metal
connector, the test precision reaches 1μΩ. The analyzer adapts the
VLSI and powerful microprocessor, and can operate the data exchange
with RS232, TCP/IP port, meanwhile it adapts the large colorful LCD
screen, and the analyzer could achieve the analysis, display and report
output of testing data by itself. It is a top grade meter which is suitable
for military, communications operators and power department etc.
Chapter 2 Inspection
It’s absolutely necessary for you to read inspections before unpack
package and check the instrument or test. In this chapter, we would
like to help you know the initial work status of the instrument.
2.1 Unpack the Instrument

Chapter 3 General operation and use guide
3.1 Operation standard
Test interface
Please connect the wire to test interface, and then connect the wire to
tested line. Please don’t touch the bare metal part of test clips, lest
there is high voltage on wire.
RS232 port
Don’t connect with RS232 port with electricity, also don’t short-circuit
the interface by metal, otherwise easily damage the internal circuit.
Display
The new tester has a protective mask on LCD, please rip it before use.
Cleaning
This tester shell is made of plastic, please use dry and soft cloth to wipe
and clean, please do not use a volatile chemical agents, otherwise easy
cause discoloring or deformation.
Protection of shell and operation panel
Please don't spray the volatile chemical reagent onto shell or panel, or
don’t make them touch with rubber or PVC for long time, which easy to
cause fault.
Move tester
When you want to move the tester, please check the power wire and
cable, to ensure them unconnected with tester, and then take tester by
both hands.
Longtime unused
If the tester is longtime unused, the battery characteristics will getting
worse, or the battery need charging. If the charging time is very short
and operation time is also short, the tester has to be replaced.

10 SBS-6000
Faults
If the internal emit strange voice, smell or smoke, please immediately
shut off the tester and power supply, and contact us.
3.2 Use notes
When you use the tester for the first time, please fully charge the
battery.
If there appear abnormal pages or crashed, please shutdown the
tester and then restart again.
Please don’t let the tester in direct sunlight or close to heat
place, which maybe cause adverse affect to inside circuit or shell.
If the tester is moved to the environment which has higher
temperature or temperature changing quickly, the tester will
generate condensing. So, the best way is to leave the tester in the
new environment one hour before operation.
