OPERATION AND USE
Note: Whenever the tester is connected to a battery, it will perform a quick check of the cable to ensure proper con-nection. If the connection is good, the tester will go to the home screen. If the connection is bad, the display will show «CHECK TABLE». In this case, check the cable connections. The clamps may need to be reconnected to the battery or the cable may need to be replaced if its ends are damaged.
-
Ensure that the area is well ventilated before performing a test.
-
Tester for 12 V batteries and systems for 12 & 24 V charging (Only 12 volt for START & STOP batteries)
-
Before running a test on the battery, make sure the ignition is off, the accessories are also off. Close all the doors and the boot.
-
Recommended operating temperature: From 0°C (32°F) to 50°C (122°F)
-
Make sure the battery terminals are clean. If necessary, clean them using a wire brush.
Any presence of oxidation between the tester terminals and the battery connectors or between the battery connectors and the battery terminals reduces the effectiveness of the tester. -
Ensure that there is a CR2032 3V battery in the battery compartment (see diagram below).
-
Remove the protective cover
-
Remove the battery compartment
-
Insert the top of the battery according to the indicated polarity (+ or -)
-
Then press the end. Close the case.
-
Connect the negative (black) terminal to the negative terminal of the battery. Connect the positive plug (red) to the positive terminal of the battery.
