HIOKI News release for BT3554-50 Battery Tester

Posted on by Philip Bailey

NEW BT3554-50 Battery Tester

BT3554-51 Heroshot

HIOKI has upgraded the iconic BT3554 series! The new BT3554-50 enhances UPS and lead-acid battery diagnostics with a wireless adapter while still setting the standards in measurement speed, noise resistant technology and usability features such as the comparator function.

Features

  • The interface for the Z3210 Wireless Adapter makes it possible for customers to start with the base model and add the wireless functionality later.
  • Noise resistance technology makes it possible to measure on UPS even while it is in operation.
  • With a measurement time of just 100ms all individual batteries of a UPS can be tested in short time. It is therefore immediately clear which batteries in the string are weak or strong.
  • The mobile app and PC software make it possible to easily create reports and monitor battery degradation.
  • With the Comparator function the BT3554-50 indicates instantly when a battery is getting worse and needs to be replaced.
  • The software enables to create battery profiles that can be downloaded to the BT3554-50

HIOKI News release for IM9202

Posted on by Philip Bailey

Test fixture enables HF impedance measurement of irregular shape components

Electronic components in a wide range of shapes and sizes can be tested using a new test fixture from Hioki. Available from MDL Technologies, the IM9202 makes it simple to take reliable high frequency measurements of surface mount and leaded components when using Hioki’s IM7580 range of high-performance impedance analysers.

Ease & Accuracy

Use of the versatile fixture makes testing easier, and enables more reliable and repeatable measurements, higher throughput, fewer handling errors and greater measurement accuracy. Its flexibility in use makes it simple to test complex components, with consequent savings in time and costs.

Component versatility up to 26mm with IM9202

The IM9202 can hold SMDs of irregular shape as well as axial and radial leaded components, including film capacitors and RFID and NFC tags. SMDs from 1.6 mm to 23 mm long can be tested as well as radial components with lead spacings of up to 26 mm.

Test wide range components

These types of components are frequently being used in power circuits with switching frequencies above 1 MHz, with standard practice making it necessary to test their characteristics at frequencies above 10 MHz. The IM9202 is suitable for testing at frequencies from 0 to 600 MHz.

Versatile Fixture for Large Devices

“The Hioki IM9202 lets component manufacturers measure devices that are larger than with other test fixtures, while also being more affordable,” said MDL managing director Mark Lucock.

Fast, Accurate Analysis - Hioki IM7580

The powerful Hioki IM7580 series impedance analysers for which the fixture is designed are available in five models, providing measurement frequency bands up to 3 GHz. With a half-rack footprint and a palm-sized test head, they offer test speeds as fast as 0.5 ms with a repeatability of 0.07 %.

Hioki fixture simplifies high-frequency testing.

Applications for the new test fixture include the research and development of large or irregular shape components for use in high power, high frequency circuits, as well as components and antennas for RFID and NFC circuits.
