Specifications of the Spectro CA-12 DC
Specifications are subject to change.
| Application | Non-invasive hand-held rapid-tester for lead acid batteries. Based on multi-model electrochemical impedance spectroscopy; excitation frequencies 20-2000 Hertz. Patented algorithm. |
| Battery Types | Lead acid, 6, 8, 12V; protected to 62V; fuse will blow above this voltage. |
| Test Conditions | Measures monoblocks individually. 40-100% state-of-charge. Reverse polarity protected. Each battery model requires a specific matrix; stores 25 matrices or more; PC-Companion software stores additional matrices. |
| Tests |
- Capacity; 10-500Ah (with suitable test resistance) in percent, amps or minutes - State-of-charge; in percent and volt - CCA (for starter batteries) - Impedance in milliohm - Resistance of battery cables in milliohm |
| Test Time | Approximately 15 seconds |
| Power Source | Li-ion battery provides ~150 tests per charge; charge indicator; 3-hour charge via internal charger. |
| Physical Dimensions Weight |
ABS housing with rubber over-molds. 172 x 248 x 60.5mm (6.75" x 9.76" x 2.38") 1.10 kg (2.45 lbs) |
| Ports | RS232, Bluetooth and infrared port for printer. |
| Environmental | Operating temp: 0 to 40°C (32 to 104°F); Storage temp: -20°C to 70°C (-4 to 158°F) |
| Safety | UL3101, CSA 1010, EN61010 EMI/EMC: FCC part 15 Class A, EN55011 Level A, EN61000-6-3:2001 for EMC |
| Warranty | Two (2) year from the original purchase date. |
| PC-Software | PC-Companion on CD-ROM, provides PC interface to update firmware, download test results, print data, store and review historical data. |
Reads capacity, conductivity and state-of-charge without discharging; reduces test time to seconds and finds hidden battery faults.
