Higher Category indicates Higher Over Voltage Electric environment. Tester designed for CAT
III environment can withstand higher voltage than the tester designed for CAT II
To avoid any serious accident while measurement, better to use Tester higher category for the
testing environment. For example, do not use Tester with CAT at testing environment CAT II, III,
or IV

1.Description and Specifications
1.1. Product Description
TEKON960 measures Internal Resistance, Voltage and Temperature simultaneously which
determine Battery Deterioration status.
Depend on model, can measure Internal Resistance of High Voltage Battery max 200V or 500V.
Using string records designed for battery maintenance, measurement data can be
systematically accumulated and stored to analyze deterioration trends and refer to them in
predicting replacement timing.
Saved data is transmitted and managed to PC S/W via Bluetooth, and export to Excel file, chart
analysis, and report file generation are possible using S/W.
Measurement data can be transmitted remotely using a mobile app.
1.1.1. Main features
Can measure without stopping UPS system.
High precision AC resistance measurement technology enables to measure UPS system
while UPS system in being loaded.
Precise measurement
AC 4–terminal test lead enables precise measurement of internal Resistance of Battery
without affecting Test Probe own resistance and contacting resistance.
Simultaneous measurement of Resistance, Voltage, Temperature, Currents.
Without changing Function, Resistance–Voltage-Temperature or Voltage-Temperature or
Voltage-Currents can be measured simultaneously. Current measurements need to use
external Current Adapter.
LIMIT
LIMIT function can set up Limit of Resistance and Voltage. This enables to determine Battery
Deterioration status when measurement
SD Card
SD card is used to store measurement data. Over 100,000 measurements are stored.
AutoRec (Auto Record)
Use this mode to record measurement data automatically at designated record post. Can
measure many batteries consecutively and conveniently.
PC S/W
Measured data can be downloaded to PC which saved Data enables to String Edit, Record
Erase.
Pin type test probe
End of Pin of Pin Type test probe may insert into 5 mm diameter hole which can measure
battery terminal without Battery Terminal Cover off.
Ripple Voltage measurement
By measuring the DC circuit of the inverter to charge and measuring the voltage ripple (AC
component remaining).
A large ripple voltage is one of the causes for accelerating the battery deterioration

Press and press .②
Wait up to 10 seconds until the probe is touched on the zero adjustment bar.③
Insert the pin end of the measuring probe into the hole of the zero point adjustment plate,④and press the probe perpendicular to the adjustment plate so that the SOURCE and SENSE
terminals of the probe tip are in close contact as shown in the figure below.
The product performs zero adjustment for all impedance ranges. Make sure that the probe⑤does not disengage from the zero-adjustment plate until the completion message is
displayed and calibration is complete.
If no probe is inserted within 10 seconds after starting zero adjustment, the adjustment is
canceled.
Adjustment is canceled if the probe is abnormal or not properly inserted and is outside the
expected value.
