• Conductance value is below the reference value, and the percentage of
the reference is below the values for WARN or FAIL
• The voltage is below the LOW VOLTS value
• The voltage is above 2.5 volts per cell
• Four strings have been tested
4. Choose one of the following based on the type of testing you are doing:
• If you are testing jars only, test the next set of jar posts if you have more
than one set of posts or test the next jar in the string. Refer to the test
patterns in “Determining a test pattern.”
• If you are testing jars and straps, follow the steps in “Attaching the cable
to a strap.”
