PRINTING TEST RESULTS
Make sure the Infrared Printer is
properly set up.
After a test is made with the
BVA-260 make sure the results
are displayed on the LCD.
Point the BVA-260 in the
direction of the Infrared Printer
(within 15 ft.)
Press the <Print> key and the
test results will be printed.
Depending upon the test made
the printer will sometimes yield
more information than the LCD.
Wait until the printer stops
printing before you press the
BVA-260 print key again.
Point the BVA-260 in the direction of the printer with the printer’s IR
receiver pointed in the direction of the BVA-260. Press (Print). You
should be within 15 ft. of the printer. Wait for the screen to clear before
moving the BVA-260. It takes a moment to send all the test data. The
BVA-260 also operates the AC-14 printer installed in Auto Meter’s XTC-
160 tester/charger or BVA-2100 heavy duty tester/analyzer.
INSPECTION
Valid automotive electrical system testing depends on
all the components being in good operating condition.
In addition, the battery MUST have sufficient charge
for testing. Carefully perform the following steps
before attempting any electrical diagnosis.
VISUAL CHECK
Inspect Belts
for cracks, glazed surface and
fraying. Tighten loose belts.
Inspect Battery
for
terminal corrosion, loose
or broken posts, cracks
in the case, loose hold-
downs, low electrolyte
level, moisture, and dirt
around the terminals.
Inspect Starting System.
Check starter, solenoid, and regulator for loose
connections, loose mounts and frayed or cracked wires.
Important Note:
A damaged battery must be replaced before proceeding.
