Connecting The Tester

The tester powers on automatically when it is correctly connected to the battery. The preferred test position is at the battery terminals. If the battery is not accessible, you may test at the jumper post; however, the power measurement may be lower than the actual value

To connect the tester:

1. Clean the battery posts or side terminals.

2. Connect the red clamp to the positive (+) terminal and the black clamp to thenegative(-)terminal.

3. Rock the clamps back and forth to make sure the clamps are firmly connected. Incasetheconnection is poor, a “CHECK CONNECTION” message displays.

4. When the tester is correctly connected, it boots up automatically and show the voltage of the battery
   

5. Press the MENU button to go to the Main Menu
   

NOTE
Do not connect the tester to a voltage source greater than 30VDC; otherwise you may damage the tester.

NOTE
If you are testing inside a vehicle, make sure all accessory loads are cut off, the key is not in the ON position and the doors are closed.

Battery Test
Battery Test menu lets you analyze the battery healthy status to calculate the actual cold cranking capability of the battery and the aging status. It lets you check 12Vor 24V charging system to make sure the output voltage of the generator is normal, the rectifier diode works correctly and the charging current is normal. Also it lets you checks if the starting motor works correctly by testing its cranking current and cranking voltage.

To start a battery test:

1. Scroll with the UP or DOWN button to highlight Battery Test from Main Menu and press the ENTER key.
   

2. Scroll with the UP or DOWN button to highlight the voltage from Main Menu and press the ENTER key.
   

3. Scroll with the UP or DOWN button to highlight OUT OF VEHICLE or IN VEHICLE from BATTERY LOCATION menu and press ENTER to select the battery location.
   

4. Scroll with the UP or DOWN button to highlight TOP POST or SIDE POST from POST TYPE menu and press ENTER to select the battery post type.
   

5. Scroll with the UP or DOWN button to select the battery type from BATTERY TYPE menu and press ENTER to confirm.
   

6. Scroll with the UP or DOWN button to select the battery standard from BATTERY STANDARD menu and press ENTER to confirm. Not all rating systems are available for each application

9. Press the BACK button to return to Main Menu. Or, press the ENTER button for cranking test if you are processing an in-vehicle test

NOTE
The tester keeps the results of last test only. When you start a new test, the last results are overwritten

Cranking Test

NOTE
Before starting the test, inspect the alternator drive belt. A belt that is glazed or worn, or lacks the proper tension, will prevent the engine from achieving the rpm levels needed for the test. After an in-car battery test, the display alternates between the battery test results and the message PRESS FOR CRANKING TEST.

To start cranking test

1. Press the ENTER button for cranking test.
2. Start the engine when prompted
3. The tester displays the decision on the starter system, cranking voltage, and cranking time in milliseconds.
   No.| Test Results| Interpretation
   ---|---|---
   1| CRANKING NORMAL| The starter voltage is normal and the battery is fully charged.
   2| LOW VOLTAGE| The starter voltage is low and the battery is fully charged.
   3| CHARGE BATTERY| The starter voltage is low and the battery is discharged. Fully charge the battery and repeat the starter system test.
   4| REPLACE BATTERY| Battery must be replaced before the starting system can be tested.
   5| NO START| No vehicle start detected.
   6| CRANKING SKIPPED| A start was not detected.
4. Press ENTER button to proceed with the charging system test, Print button to print the test results, BACK button to return to the main menu

NOTE
For an in-vehicle test, the display alternates between the test results and the message. Press ENTER for charging test

Charging System test

NO OUTPUT

| No alternator output detected.Check all connections to and from the alternator, especially the connection to the battery. If the connection is loose or heavily corroded, clean or replace the cable and retest.If the belts and connections are in good working condition, replace the alternator. (Older vehicles use external voltage regulators, which may require onlyreplacement of the voltage regulator.)

3

|

LOW OUTPUT

| Alternator not providing sufficient to power the system’s electrical loads and charge the battery.Check the belts to ensure the alternator is rotating with the engine running. Replace broken or slipping belts and retest.Check the connections from the alternator to the battery. If the connection is loose or heavily corroded, clean or reparable the cable and retest.

4

|

HIGH OUTPUT

| Alternator voltage output exceeds the normal limits. Make sure there are no loose connections and the ground connection is normal. If there are no connection problems, replace the regulator. Most alternators have a built-in regulator that requires replacing the alternator. In older vehicles that use external voltage regulators, you may need to replaceonly the voltage regulator.
5| EXCESSIVE RIPPLE| Excessive AC ripple detected.One or more diodes in the alternator are not functioning or there is stator damage.
