1Introduction

1.1 Manuals

This manual covers all aspects of the STS Instruments’ model 1656 Auto-Line Option Battery

Element Tester. This includes setup, programming, use, specifications, and principle of

operation, maintenance and calibration. The Auto-Line option can only be used in combination

with the 1656 Battery Element tester.

1.2 Background

For over 30 years, the STS Instruments Battery Element Testers have been the de-facto

benchmark for Battery Cell quality testing. The new 1656 model builds on this legacy of reliable,

high volume testing using a state-of-the-art digital design made possible by advanced

microcontrollers (MCUs) and high resolution, fast Analog to Digital conversion (ADC) of voltage

and current test signals. This advanced and modern digital design is complemented by a

convenient operator interface using a large LED backlight, color graphic LCD screen that displays

settings that results in large, easy to read operator information.

The Model 1656 Auto-Line option is designed to support automated production line testing of

lead-acid battery using an automated test fixture to test up to six cells in a single operation. To

this end, the Auto-Line option generates six multiplexed high voltage surge test channels from a

single 1656 Battery Element tester unit. All testing and channel switching functions are

controlled by the 1656 tester using its PLC I/O connection to the Auto-Line option unit.

The Auto-Line chassis dimensions match those of the 1656 Battery Element tester so both can

be stacked on top of each other or rack mounted. The use of the rear panel HV connection

option (option –RPC) on the 1656 Battery Element Tester is recommended.

Note: The Auto-Line is electrically and functionally compatible with the 1656-Bench version of

the 1656 as well but differs from this unit in size.

The Model 1656 Auto-Line option is equipped with a Modular Line Cord Assembly and a

universal AC input supply that allows the tester to operate on a nominal 90Vac through 264Vac

input at 50 or 60 Hz.
