Recommended Test Procedure

The DSS-5000 testing process uses Conductance Profiling™ technology which determines battery cranking capability and also adds Reserve Capacity testing. With this additional process, initial battery analysis can take up to 60 seconds to complete.

IMPORTANT: Always begin each test by connecting the Tester Pod clamps to the battery being tested. The testing process begins as soon as the clamps are connected.

The DSS-5000 provides a battery decision along with additional detailed information on battery cranking and reserve capacity. Swipe the screen horizontally to the right or left to view the additional results screens. (See Page 3)

VIN Scanning

The DSS-5000 uses a camera built into the Controller handle to scan the VIN of the vehicle being tested. This number is then cross referenced with the original equipment manufacturer’s battery specifications stored in the tester’s database and displayed on the Controller screen.

Scanning Tips

• Camera: Located in the upper left portion on the back of the Controller handle.
  

• Hold Steady: Hold Controller steady when scanning the VIN barcode. This allows the user to clearly see the barcode and allows the camera to focus on it.
  
  

• Fill Viewfinder: Make sure the entire barcode is visible. Keeping the entire VIN barcode visible while slowly moving the camera closer or further away will help capture.

• Clean Barcode/Window: Surface dirt can interfere with the scanning process. If necessary wipe the VIN barcode with a cloth or your finger remove any surface dirt.

• Lighting/Glare: The built-in flashlight will automatically turn on In low light situations. If the flashlight, or sunlight, is shining directly onto the VIN barcode, try pivoting the camera up or down slightly to reduce any glare.
