MANUAL OF INSTRUCTIONS
EN
IMPORTANT:
1. For testing 6 and 12 volt batteries, and for testing
12 and 24 volt charging systems.
2. Suggested operation range 0°C (32°F) to 50°C
(122°F) in ambient temperature.
WARNING:
WARNING: This product can expose you to chemicals
including arsenic, which is known to the State of Cali-
fornia to cause cancer.
1. Working in the vicinity of a lead acid battery is dan-
gerous. Batteries generate explosive gases during
normal battery operation. For this reason, it is of
utmost importance, if you have any doubt, that
each time before using your tester, you read these
instructions very carefully.
2. To reduce risk of battery explosion, follow these
instructions and those published by the battery ma-
nufacturer and manufacturer of any equipment you
intend to use in the vicinity of the battery. Observe
cautionary markings on these items.
3. Do not expose the tester to rain or snow.
PERSONAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS:
1. Someone should be within range of your voice or
close enough to come to your aid when you work
near a lead acid battery.
2. Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case
battery acid contacts skin, clothing or eyes.
3. Wear safety glasses and protective clothing.
4. If battery acid contacts skin or clothing, wash im-
mediately with soap and water. If acid enters eye,
immediately flood eye with running cold water for
at least ten minutes and get medical attention im-
mediately.
5.
NEVER smoke or allow a spark or flame in vicinity
of battery or engine.
6. Be extra cautious to reduce risk of dropping a metal
tool onto the battery. It could spark or short-circuit
the battery or other electrical parts and could cause
an explosion.
7. Remove personal metal items such as rings, bra-
celets, necklaces and watches when working with
a lead acid battery. It can produce a short circuit
current high enough to weld a ring or the like to
metal causing a severe burn.
PREPARING TO TEST:
1. Be sure area around battery is well ventilated while
battery is being tested.
2. Clean battery terminals. Be careful to keep corro-
sion from coming in contact with eyes.
3. Inspect the battery for cracked or broken case or
cover. If battery is damaged, do not use tester.
4. If the battery is not sealed maintenance free, add
distilled water in each cell until battery acid reaches
level specified by the manufacturer. This helps pur
-
ge excessive gas from cells. Do not overfill.
5. If necessary to remove battery from vehicle to test,
always remove ground terminal from battery first.
Make sure all accessories in the vehicle are off to
ensure you do not cause any arcing.
OPERATION & USE:
Note: Each time you connect the tester to a battery, the
tester will run a quick cable verification to ensure a pro
-
per connection through the output cables to sensors in
the clamp jaws. If the connection checks out OK, the
tester will proceed to the Home Screen. If the connec-
tion is poor, the display will show “CHECK CABLE”. In
this case, check cable connections for visible signs of
damage, as you may need to re-connect the clamps to
the battery or replace the cable end.
HOW TO REPLACE CABLE END:
1. Detach the clamp lead when the replacement is
necessary.
2. Make sure the new clamp lead is well connected.
NOTE that do not detach the cables unless necessary
to make sure the pins are not rusted or corroded by
the acid liquid.
BEFORE TESTING:
1.
Before you test a battery in a vehicle, turn off the
ignition, all accessories and loads. Close all the ve-
hicle doors and the trunk lid.
2. Make sure you have put 6 pcs 1.5V batteries into
the battery chamber. Oxyride batteries are not re-
commended because of the initial 1.7 Volt output.
If the 1.5V battery runs out of power, screen will
show “POWER LOW”. Replace those 6 pcs 1.5V
batteries before starting the test.
Note that nothing will be seen on the display until
the tester is connected to a vehicle battery.
3. Make sure the battery terminals are clean. Wire
brush them if necessary. Clamp the black load lead
to the vehicle negative battery terminal. Clamp the
red load lead to the vehicle positive battery termi-
nal. Please clamp on the lead part of the terminal
only. Clamping on the iron part of the terminal will
lead to wrong test results.
4. Paper load: Open the clear cover. Insert paper to
the paper feeding for auto running the paper into
