GAUS HIGH RATE DISCHARGE TESTER PR1000A12V/PR1500A12V

The Gaus High Rate Discharge Tester is particularly designed for testing the cranking performance (cold and warm cranking) of automotive batteries. The PR1000A(1500A)12V performs discharge tests with selectable current values in accordance with all national and international test standards.

The PR1000A(1500A)12V contains one discharge circuit with integrated microcomputer interface. Central control by means of a host computer of the AT type with GBTS1.05 Software (Host Computer Type).

Guaranteed operation of the discharge circuit also in case of failure or interruption of the host computer by down-loading the complete test program into the microcomputer interface.

The PR1000A(1500A)12V with GBTS1.05 have been designed as an integrated system, combining power conversion, circuit control, computer control, data recording and data reporting. As a result, this system meets most battery testing needs: high reliability, complete functionality, accuracy, ease of data recording, troubleshooting, numerous data presentation formats, and easy maintenance. In this way it provides increased laboratory efficiency and accuracy.

Additional ratings and options are continually added to the product line. Furthermore, “GAUS StS” is also happy to work with customers to provide special customisation options where needed.

Operating Simplicity

Test initiation and control are via the mouse or keyboard. After a program has been selected and the battery connected, simply depress the START key to initiate the test sequence. While discharging, the GBTS1.05 will display the status of the test and the test results in graphical or columnar form on the real time basis. It will show the mode of operation (ready, connect battery, running, stopped, paused, error…) the program number, the step number and the test parameters (amperes, volts, elapsed time...).

GAUS UNIVERSAL BATTERY TESTER GUBT25/50A12V

The Gaus Universal Battery Tester GUBT is particularly designed for testing automotive batteries. But it may also be used for testing all other types of batteries, just by setting the required current and voltage values. The GUBT performs the functions “charge” and “discharge” with selectable current values, as well as pause steps, repetition of a test program as a whole or in parts (cycling) and the registration of the measured data.

Many of the standardized test programs use the current as nominal value. But voltage, power or resistance values may be used as well. A program step may be terminated not only after a specified time, but also when a certain voltage or an Ah (or Wh) values is reached. For registration of the measured values, intervals of time, voltage, amperhours, or energy (Watt-hours) are suitable parameters.

Design and Function

In the standard version, 5 or 10 charge-discharge circuits are combined in one cabinet with a common power supply. Each circuit is provided with its own control unit and the respective power unit. Three-phase AC ensures the mains supply. GUBT25/50A12V can resolve the main power failure problem and continue with testing automatically after that.

The programmable control unit is the core of each charge-discharge circuit. It is a standalone microcomputer system for a data logging and precise control of analogue measured values. It also assumes the processing of stored test programs.

In the manual operating mode, it is possible to select one of the stored programs No 1-8, interrupt and terminate the program by pressing the respective button. Digital instruments for battery voltage and current are fitted on the front panel.

Automatic operating mode is made via host computer with GBTS106 party line host computer software.

Testing:

  1. C-20 twenty hours capacity
  2. Rc spare capacity (reserve)
  3. Cycling
  4. Life time period testing
  5. Charge acceptance
  6. Charge retention
  7. Water consumption.

Examples: Figure 2, figure 3, figure 4, figure 5.

The Programs

All tests programs can be split into steps, where certain operations must be executed under well-defined conditions. Each step is fixed in a program line.

Each program step is divided into columns and each column has a headline describing its function.

Column explanations:

Column: Label

Each program step can be labeled which is used for controlling of program executing.

Column: Operation

Each program step starts with an operator determining the function of the test circuit. The operator names are simple abbreviations of the respective functions (charge, discharge, ramp, cycle, pause, stop).

Column: Set value

As nominal values for this step may be entered current, voltage or resistance of power values.

Column: Term. condition

The termination values current, voltage, time, capacity, energy and temperature determine the end of a program step and thus the beginning of the next program step. In building of condition can be used logical operators AND, OR, NOT.

Column: Term. action

Possibilities for The Term. Action columns are:

  • GOTO label -transfers program control to the specified program step
  • NEXT-goes to the next program step
  • STOP-terminates program

Column: Abort condition

The values entered under this column may be the same as for the termination values. However, in this case, the program run will be terminated if one of these limit values is reached.

Column: Registration

The conditions for the registration are entered into the last column. These may be time intervals or changes in current, voltage, capacity, energy or temperature.
