Biddle BITE 2P

The Biddle BITE 2P (246004) Battery Impedance Test Equipment determines the condition of lead-acid and nickel-cadmium cells up to 7000 Ah. An advanced feature set has been developed that includes Pass/Warning/ Fail calculations based on a user entered baseline value, advanced printing functions and more. The case of the Megger BITE 2P consists of both the transmitter and a carrying case for all of the standard accessories and some of the optional accessories, in an all-in-one unit.

The instrument works by applying a test current across the battery string while on-line, then measuring the total current (ac ripple + test current) and the voltage drop of each cell/jar. It then calculates the impedance. It also measures dc voltage and interconnection (strap) resistance to help determine the overall condition of the entire battery string's electrical path from terminal plate to terminal plate.

Features:

• On-line testing requiring no downtime.
• Enhanced printing and memory functions.
• Calculates impedance automatically and stores results for on-site review.
• Requires no battery discharge.
• Receiver has an RS-232 connector for downloading stored data to a personal computer.
• Reduced test time: less than 30 seconds for each cell.
• Measures impedance and dc voltage values for all lead-acid and nickel-cadmium cells up to 7000 Ah.
• Stores more than 2000 sets of readings in up to 300 tests.
