3 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 1. Environments Requirement Should be NO CORROSIVE,NO EXPLOSIVE,NO ELECTRICAL BREAKDOWN AIR OR CONDUCTIVE DUST. 2. Main Tester Description LCD screen Cooling fans Control Buttons External control socket External current measurement socket Power switch (For 4815S/4830S) Power switch & AC power input (For other types) Load cable sockets SBS-S series 3. Main Tester Connections 3.1 power cable connection Connect SBS-S with the tested battery group (or rectifier, DC generator) 3.2 Power Supply connection

4 3.2.1 SBS-4815S, SBS-4830S are powered from the DC load, so there is no power supply connector for these models For other SBS-S series types, connect SBS-S with AC 120V 60Hz power source by power supply cable. Power supply wire 120 V 60Hz Power Source (Optional: 220V 50Hz) Power switch SBS-S series 4. Start Up And Input Operation 4.1 After the load connections are made, turn on the power switch to start up SBS-S series Load Bank. 4.2 All settings of the SBS-S are input through the 6 control buttons beneath the LCD screen. 4.3 On the welcome screen, you can see our company name, the model number, and tester name. Press any key to enter the main menu, if 10 seconds elapse without a key press, the system will switch to the main menu automatically. 5. Parameter setting Welcome interface Main menu

5 5.1 In main menu, please use & to choose Setting, press into setting interface. There are 4 parameters need to be set before testing. 5.2 Set the discharge current by &, and press go to next parameter. 5.3 Set the capacity need to be discharged by &, and press go to next parameter. (If the capacity discharged is over the setting value, SBS-S will terminate the test automatically.) 5.4 Set discharge time by &, and press go to next parameter.(if the discharge time is over the setting value, SBS-S will terminate the test automatically.) 5.5 Set voltage stop threshold by &, and press go to next parameter.(if the voltage go below the setting value, SBS-S will terminate the test automatically.) 5.6 please use & to locate the item you need for changing the setting. And press to confirm the setting and LCD will show setting saved! message. Press back to main menu.

6 6. Starting discharge test 6.1 In the main menu, use & to choose Discharge, press into it. 6.2 SBS-S will display all of the parameter settings before discharge, use & to verify all settings again and press to start the discharge. 6.3 The discharge interface LCD will display: a) Discharge status: Proceeding or Stopped b) Voltage c) Discharge current (Amps) d) Capacity discharged (Cumulative AH) e) Discharge time 6.4 Press to manually stop test, and press to manually re-start the test. 6.5 During the discharge test, press & back to parameter settings, you can modify the setting values by &, and press to activate new setting and continue discharge. 7. Stopping discharge test 7.1 Manual stop: press during discharging. 7.2 Stop threshold reached: Condition Discharged capacity has reached the preset value in settings. Discharge Time setting has been reached Voltage has reached the LOW DC voltage setting. LCD message

7 7.3 Test termination by fault/error Condition Discharge current exceeds the limits of machine for the voltage range. The unit has terminated the discharge due to reaching the Thermal limit. Polarity of the test cables is reversed. LCD message 8. Discharge Test Results Screen The SBS-S will save the last test result in Test result interface. It can show: a) Test end voltage b) Test time c) Capacity discharged d) Stop reason Stop reason 9. Calibration interface SBS-S supports calibration by the user, with high resolution instrument, user can finish calibrate in calibration interface: 1) Voltage 2) Discharge current 3) External current from current clamp press & to select the calibration item and change the setting value by &, and press to save calibration.

8 WARNINGS a) Please read the entire manual prior to using the test equipment b) The tester features a number of built in safety features to allow for unmonitored operation, however, it is at the users discretion to operate the unit unmanned. c) In the event of a fault or warning during the test, an audible warning will sound and a visual warning will be displayed. Please turn off the AC power source to avoid a further damage. Parallel Operation The SBS S Series load banks can be operated in parallel with the SBS-8400 or another S Series load bank of the same voltage range. The External Current Clamp (SBS Part # A) must be used to share load information between the two load banks. Each load bank must be set up to control its own portion of the load and must operate within its operational limits per the specifications. The master load bank where the current clamp is plugged into will display the total load current of the system when the discharge test is running.
