Fluke BT521 Advanced Battery Analyzer
Fluke BT521 Advanced Battery Analyzer
- Key measurements: Battery resistance, dc and ac voltage, dc and ac current, ripple voltage, frequency and battery temperature.
- Sequence measurement mode: Automatic or manual sequence testing of battery strings with automatic measurement storage including voltage, resistance and temperature (with BTL21 intelligent test probe included with BT521).
- Comprehensive logging: All measured values are automatically captured during testing and can be reviewed on the instrument before downloading for on-the-go analysis.
Fluke BT521 Advanced Battery Analyzer
Fluke’s most advanced BT500 series battery analyser, the Fluke BT521 performs more testing procedures, includes more accessories and is the most comprehensive solution for testing batteries of any type.
Designed with portability in mind and shaped like most common digital multimeters, the BT521 makes battery testing simple. It even includes integrated user-help systems which will guide you through every aspect of configuring a test and audio/visual feedback cues when using the tester’s comparison function.
The BT521 comes supplied as standard with Fluke’s intelligent test probe. This uniquely designed, long-reach probe includes its own LCD screen for easy viewing of measurement results, can test battery temperature using infrared non-contact technology and also performs voltage, resistance and temperature testing automatically.
Once you’re done testing the BT521 stores all of the information directly on the tester in its 999 record internal memory. You can then connect it directly to PC via the USB port/USB cable to download testing information into Fluke’s included software package to create reports, quickly compare trends and much more.
This is also the only tester in the range that can be used to measure AC/DC current using the included clamp.
