Features

	Assess the deterioration of lead-acid batteries accurately using our proprietary technology Introducing the new Battery Tester BT3554-50, a new standard in battery diagnostics and UPS diagnostics. With the impedance method, the internal resistance and voltage of the battery are measured while it is connected to its host device, a diagnosis can be carried out without taking it offline. With proprietary noise reduction technology, even in noisy environments the measurement can be made more accurately.
	The ability to communicate wirelessly adds even more convenience With the Wireless Adapter Z3210 (optional), it transfers measurements directly to your smartphone or tablet, allowing you to quickly create reports with drawings and field photos.
	Utilize the latest software for easy data management and guidance on measurement The BT3554-50 can be used with a dedicated mobile app (GENNECT Cross) which can be configured to play an audio guidance announcing the next battery number to be measured. Having this feature helps prevent erroneous measurements. Measurement and diagnostic results can also be linked to a profile by inputting measurement locations and battery numbers in advance. Even when performing diagnostic work on large numbers of batteries, having this capability simplifies the data management process.
	You can get results as fast as 2 seconds With the Hioki BT3554-50 Battery Tester, you simply touch the test leads to the battery terminals to capture battery condition data. The auto-hold or auto-memory function will automatically save measurements results in just 2 seconds, a 60% reduction from the legacy product.
	Providing comparative judgments based on a lead-acid battery’s internal resistance and voltage With its comparator function, the BT3554-50 generates comparative judgments quantifying degradation of lead-acid, nickel-cadmium, and nickel-hydride batteries based on the user-specified threshold value. In addition, voltage sign detection facilitates instantaneous connection confirmation for newly installed UPS systems.
	Data can be saved by simply placing the leads in contact with a battery’s terminals The BT3554-50 auto-hold function automatically holds measured values once they have stabilised. In addition, the instrument’s auto-memory feature, which automatically stores measured values from the auto-hold function in its internal memory, further streamlines work processes.

	New leads for easier measurement in distribution panels and other confined areas L-shaped tips are now available as a new option on the Pin Type Lead L2020. The design makes it easy to inspect batteries installed in confined spaces.
	Observing battery test results using a mobile device: Using wirelessly captured measurements Using Bluetooth wireless technology (When using the Wireless Adapter Z3210), the Battery Tester Hioki BT3554-50 can store and display measured values wirelessly. The results can also be used to generate automatic reports. Install the free GENNECT Cross app on your mobile device and connect to the Hioki BT3554-50. In order to maximize work efficiency, reports can also be sent via email from your mobile device to the office. The Gennect Cross app can import data into a PC in order to view historical state graphs of a specified battery.
	Applications: Manage other UPS inspection data together GENNECT can be used as a central repository to manage data from Hioki clamp meters and other instruments. Example: UPS inspection 1.UPS system ACV measurement (CM4372, CM4374) 2.DCV measurement (CM4372, CM4374) 3.AC/DC current measurement (CM4372, CM4374) 4.Ripple current measurement (CM4002) 5.Battery degradation diagnostics (BT3554-50) 6.Measurement site photograph
______________________________________________	Excel® Direct Input, An easy way to transfer measurement data to an Excel® file The Excel® Direct Input function allows you to automatically input measurement values into an Excel® file when the instrument’s auto-hold function is activated. (Wireless Adapter Z3210 is required)
	The wall and shoulder straps allow you to work with both hands The shoulder strap helps you carry the instrument while measuring a large number of batteries. Or If there are a lot of batteries at one location, hang the instrument on the wall while you work using the Magnetic Strap Z5020 (sold separately).
