Franklin CADD-5500 CELLTRON Advantage Complete Test Kit
The Franklin CADD-5500 is the most comprehensive configuration in the CELLTRON™ Advantage Digital series, engineered specifically for critical power, telecommunications, and UPS battery testing. Equipped with dual-microprocessor architecture and Edge Rejection technology, this tester effectively filters out electrical noise and anomalies common in constant-power-supply environments to deliver precise state-of-health diagnostics for VRLA, VLA, and NiCad batteries.
This Complete Kit is designed for maximum reach and field versatility. It includes both a 4-foot interchangeable test cable and an 8-foot probe cable, combined with extenders to comfortably access deeply recessed battery posts. Test interfaces feature LED-illuminated Piranha clamps capable of a 2-inch wide grip, and lighted 6-inch probes with rotating heads and replaceable tips for instant contact.
Key Capabilities
- Edge Rejection Technology: Filters initial and trailing signal anomalies for highly precise conductance and voltage measurements.
- Dual-Microprocessor Architecture: Ensures reliable, drift-free operation in high-noise electrical environments (e.g., live UPS strings).
- High-Capacity Data Storage: Internal memory supports up to 50 string locations, each holding up to 240 test results, with unlimited flash drive export capability.
- Comprehensive Connectivity: Integrated Wi-Fi and USB 2.0 ports (Type A & B) for seamless test data transfer and software integration.
- Hardware Protection: Features an integrated protection relay that disconnects within milliseconds if probe inputs exceed 23.3V DC, protecting the meter from accidental over-voltage.
