6. Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained persons.
Tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
7. Maintain tools with care. Keep clean. Do not use a damaged tool.
Tag damaged tools
“ Do not use” until repaired.
8. Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel.
Service or maintenance performed by unqualified personnel could
result in a risk of injury.
9. Maintain labels and nameplates on this tool. These carry important
information. If unreadable or missing, contact us for a replacement.
10. Always wear ANSI approved safety impact eye goggles and heavy
work gloves when using this tool. Using personal safety devices
reduce the risk for injury.
11. Maintain a safe working environment. Make sure there is adequate
surrounding workspace. Always keep the work area free of
obstructions, grease, oil, trash, and other debris. Do not use this
tool in areas near flammable chemicals, dusts, and vapors. Do not
use this product in a damp or wet location.
12. People with pacemakers should consult their physicians before
using this product. Electromagnetic fields in close proximity to a
heart pacemaker could cause interference to or failure of the
pacemaker.
Caution is necessary when near the coil, spark plug cables, or distributor
of a running engine. The engine should always be off if adjustments
are to be made of the distributor.
13. When connecting the Battery Cables to the battery, avoid creating
sparks (always connect and disconnect clamps exactly as
described in manual ), especially when the battery is being charged.
Explosive gases are created during charging. Sparking could also
damage the vehicle electrical system.
14. Be certain of the test battery polarity before connecting the test
Cable Clamps. The red Cable Clamp (A) goes to the positive
terminal of the battery. The black Cable Clamp (B) goes to the
negative terminal of the battery.
15. When placing the Battery Tester in the vehicle (on the frame,
engine, or fender), take special care that the metal housing of the
Battery Tester does not come in contact with either terminal of the
battery or other electrical connections.
16. Do not drop the Battery Tester as it may affect proper operation.
17. Do not smoke or have open flames near the battery.
18. Reversing Battery Tester Cable Clamps on the battery will damage
the tester.
19. Do not connect the Battery Tester to the battery while the battery is
being charged. Turn the engine off before connecting.
20. Do not touch the cooling vents on the Battery Tester immediately
after testing the battery. They become very hot.
Unpacking
When unpacking, check to make sure that the product is intact and
undamaged. If any parts are missing or broken, please call us as soon
as possible.
Operating instructions
Caution! This Battery Tester becomes very hot during use. Touching it
will result in serious burns.
Testing the Battery
Note:
The temperature of the battery will affect the testing data. It will
test lower when cold than when warm. Never test or charge a frozen
battery.
Caution! Wear rubber gloves (not included) whenever working with
the Battery Tester or batteries.
Note
: Before any testing, make sure to clean the battery contacts.
1. Make sure the vehicle is not running. Connect the red (+) Clamp to the
positive (+) terminal post on the battery. Connect the black (-) Clamp
to the negative (-) terminal post on the battery. If it is less than 12V on
a 12V battery, disconnect the battery and recharge before testing.
Adjust the Set CCA button to correspond with the CCA of the battery.
Push the CCA button (increments of 100) until the CCA that matches
your battery appears. After reaching 999CCA, into the charging
system mode with
“AAA” display. See photo above Round your
Battery CCA number down.
2. Check the Battery Tester Led Window (D) to determine effectiveness
of charge. If the Battery Tester does not register and no display is
seen, double check that the Clamps are connected to the proper
terminal posts. Make certain a clean connection has been made
between the Clamps and terminal posts.
3. Push and release the Test Start button(C), a solid and consistent
measurement is indicated by the Battery Tester. Within five seconds,
read the LED Window display. Do not test more than three times in a
five minute period. Allow one minute for cool down between tests.
Note:
If a battery does not have the charge expected, have a qualified
technician check the specific gravity. There may be an electrical drain or
charging system trouble. If charging does not raise the specific gravity,
you may have a defective battery.
Operation (Continued)
Analyzing test results by color display:
The Battery Tester will
measure battery output/charge in two ways. The three lights above the
LED Window (D ) will indicate a color telling you the general condition of
the battery.
Red =
Bad, No Charge, or Completely Discharged
Yellow = Weak, Needs Recharging
Green = Good or Normal – Has Existing Charge
4. If the battery is without significant charge, charge it and check it again
under load. The battery should measure 75% of Open-Circuit Voltage.
75% can be considered fully charged. If the charging rate reaches at
least 75%, but fails to reach 75% during the load test, it needs replacing.
Refer to the table below for 12 Volt battery percentages:
Open Circuit
Voltage (V):
Less than
11,7 12 12,2
12,4
12,4+
Battery Charge
Percentage
0% 20% 50% 75% 100%
5.
When test is complete, remove Black Clamp (-) from battery first; then
remove Red Clamp (+).
Testing the Charging System-Alternator/ Regulator Output:
Warning: When testing a system in a car/truck, the vehicle must be on
a flat, dry surface.
The transmission must be in park and the emergency brake engaged.
1. Connect the red (+) Clamp to the positive (+) terminal post on the battery.
Connect the black (-) Clamp to the negative (-) terminal post on the
battery.
2. With the engine off, check the Battery Tester LED Window (D) to
determine effectiveness of charge. Without using the Test Start Button.
If the Battery Tester does not register and no display is seen, double
check that the Clamps are connected to the proper terminal posts. Make
certain a clean connection has been made between the Clamps and
terminal posts.
3. Start the engine and let it run. Without using the Test Start Button,
observe the voltage readout when the engine speed reaches between
1200 to 1500 RPM (normal idle speed). Once you push the Test Start
Button, then will into charging system mode and meantime the Test Start
Button is disabled.
4. Note meter reading with all electrical accessories off. One of three
conditions will apply:
a) Voltage less than 13.5 volts indicates faulty alternator.
b) Voltage between 13.5 volts and 15 volts indicates charging system is
good.
c) Voltage over 15 volts indicates faulty voltage regulator.
5. When charging system test is complete, remove Black Clamp (-) from
battery first; then remove Red Clamp (+).
