8. Tips pamaké

  • Luhur Voltage/Capacity Testing: The device supports up to 150V and 20A. When testing high voltage or high capacity batteries (e.g., 72V, 70Ah), ensure that the current drawn does not exceed 20A and the total power (Voltage x Current) does not exceed 150W to prevent triggering protection mechanisms.
  • Kalibrasi: For precise measurements, utilize the voltage and current calibration options in the main menu (Menu options 4 and 5) with known reference sources.
  • Pangimeutan Suhu: For critical tests, consider connecting an external NTC sensor to the NTC terminal for more accurate and localized temperature monitoring, especially during prolonged high-power discharges.
