Powering Off the Cellcorder
1. Press and hold the green Power Key.2. Powering off doesn’t automatically delete

3. If readings are in memory, you are prompted
to save them.

Taking Voltage Readings
1. Connect the voltage probes to the Cellcorder
and select Test Mode/F1.
2. From the Test Mode menu, select
F1-Voltage.
3. If "Resume Test" appears, put the probes
on the cell.
4. If "Stored in Memory" appears, retest the
cell or change the cell number by typing a
number and pressing Enter.
5. When the unit beeps, remove the probes.
The cell number advances automatically
to the next cell.
Don't measure voltages greater than 20V DC.
Warning

CRT-400 Cell Resistance Tester
The Cellcorder is also a Digital Voltmeter (DVM)
1. In the voltage mode, select DVM by pressing
the F1 button.
2. The screen displays the measured voltages.
3. Readings are not saved in DVM mode.
Taking Resistance Radings
1. Connect the resistance test leads to the
Cellcorder and select Test Mode/F1.
2. From the Test menu, select F2-Resistance.
3. Select the Amp Hour rate/F2 of the cell
being tested. Specify the number of
Intercell connections/F3 per cell.
4. Select Test/F1.
No VFloat Readings Exist.
Now What?
If "No VFloat readings exist. Are you sure
you want to continue?” appears. Choose
No/F2, read voltage, then resume resistance
testing. Reading voltage before resistance
results in more accurate voltage readings
because skewing is not a factor. If you
choose Yes/F1, voltage and resistance are
read concurrently. Concurrent readings are
subject to the skewing effect.
5. Connect the leads to the cell. See lower-left
for some examples; refer to the CRT-400 User’s
Guide for more details. Press the orange Test
button. The display shows test progress.
6. When the unit beeps, remove the probes.
When leads are moved, the cell number
advances automatically to the next cell.
7. When finished testing, press the Done/F4
button.
