Fluke BT520 Battery Analyser

Description

The BT520 is an improved version of Fluke's BT510 battery analyser which comes with additional functionality and additional accessories.

Made for use with stationary and battery backup systems of all types, the BT520 allows the user to see what's happening inside a battery and can test voltage, resistance and ripple voltage with a high degree of accuracy. By using the included intelligent test probe a sequence measurement mode can also be used for automatic or manual sequence testing of battery strings.

This Fluke battery analyser is the first model in the series to come with the intelligent test probe, an accessory that includes its own integrated LCD display, built-in torch, verbal audio feedback and even has an integrated save button for quick and easy storage to the analyser's memory.

When testing, the BT520 makes configuring testing procedures significantly easier by guiding the user through how to configure the test. It also includes around 999 record internal memory and is fully downloadable to PC for further interaction with testing data using Fluke's included software package.
