This article will introduce a quick guide on how to start to use Neware BTS when you receive Neware's battery tester just now. There are several steps in the following part. Just follow it. Let's begin now.

 

Step 1. Set up hardware

 

1.Firstly, connect the testers with PC:

To use the ethernet cable to connect mid machines by TCP/IP port from PC or a router(if applicant), then connect the mid machine to the testers by connecting RS485 ports(Figure 1). If there is more than 1 tester need to be connected, connect them by connecting the RS485 ports(Figure 2). For those whose mid machine is embedded in the machine, the ethernet cable should be connect directly to the machines’ TCP/IP port(Figure 3) .
