Connection
After following the safety guidelines, connect
the analyzer clamps to the battery terminals.
Be sure to connect the red wire to the positive
terminal and the black wire to the negative
terminal. Maximize surface contact between
clamp and terminal by rocking the clamp on the
terminal to allow the clamp teeth to dig in.
J
Always connect the analyzer terminals
directly to the lead of the battery terminals.
Connection to a remote post or to vehicle
ground will affect the test results. Both
jaws of each clamp must make contact with
the lead of the battery terminal.
J
Turn off all connected loads or chargers
before starting a battery test.
i
Loads or chargers connected to the battery
will not effect capacity testing, but will
influence the measurement of state of
charge and the results of the Cranking
performance Test.
When the connection to the battery is made,
the analyzer will beep, the screen will become
active, and if the battery voltage is above 10V,
the display backlight will turn on.
To reset the analyzer for another test,
disconnect one clamp from the terminal and
reconnect.
Test Setup
The Battery Life Test requires that some
information be entered into the analyzer before
a test is performed. Analyzer units that perform
these tests will prompt for this information
after the analyzer is connected to the battery.
