DANGER! BE AWARE, LEAD-ACID BATTERIES GENERATE EXPLOSIVE GASES DURING NORMAL BATTERY OPERATION. FOR THIS REASON, IT IS VERY 

IMPORTANT TO READ AND FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY, EACH TIME YOU USE THE BATTERY TESTER. 

Follow these instructions and those published by the battery and vehicle manufacturers, and the maker of any equipment you intend to use 

in the vicinity of the battery. Remember to review warning marks on all products and on engines.

Professional diagnosis of battery and alternator faults with the added facility to print the results. Test battery condition with as little as 1Volt of 

residual charge. No heat, no sparks and no misdiagnosis. Checks condition of alternator - no complicated connections or interpretation 

required. Analyse the charging system at rest and under load to determine condition of the alternator. Connect and follow the prompts on the 

2-line/16 character LCD screen for straightforward answers. Incorporates simple voltmeter for voltage tests and additional system diagnostics. 

Rugged construction. Supplied in sturdy carry-case with batteries, two rolls of printing paper and instruction manual.

PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS

▲ 

IMPORTANT!

 observe all Warning Symbols.

 

WARNING!

 Wear approved eye protection. Wear appropriate Personal Protective equipment. A full range of Personal Protective  

 

 

equipment is available from your Sealey dealer.

  

Remove personal metallic items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces and watches. A lead-acid battery can produce a short-circuit  

 

 

current high enough to melt or weld a ring, which would cause severe burns.

  

ensure that hands and clothing are clear of fan blades and other moving or hot engine parts. Remove ties and ensure that belts  

 

 

cannot become entangled.

  

ensure that there is another person within hearing distance and is able to come to your aid should a problem arise when working near  

 

a  lead-acid battery. 

  

Have fresh water nearby in case battery acid contacts skin or clothing; flush affected area immediately. If acid enters eyes, flush  

 

 

immediately with clean running water for a minimum of 15 minutes, seek medical attention.

  

DO NOT

 smoke or allow a spark or flame in the vicinity of the battery or engine.

1.2.   GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

 

Familiarise yourself with the application, limitations and potential hazards of the tester.

 

Also refer to the vehicle manufacturer’s hand    

 book. 

IF IN ANY DOUBT CONSULT A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.

 

ensure that the tester is in good condition before use. If in any doubt do not use the unit and contact a qualified electrician.

 

only use recommended attachments and parts. To use unapproved items may be dangerous and will invalidate your warranty.

 

Keep tools and other items away from the engine and ensure that you can see the battery and working parts of engine clearly. 

 

Determine the system voltage before using the tester.

 

If the tester receives a sharp knock or blow the unit must be checked by a qualified service agent before using.

 

Clean battery terminals before using the tester.

 

Keep children and unauthorised persons away from the work area.

 

DO NOT

 disassemble the tester for any reason. The tester must only be checked by qualified service personnel.

 WARNING! 

To prevent the risk of sparking, short circuit and possible explosion

 

DO NOT drop metal tools in the battery area, or allow  

 

them to touch the battery terminals.

 

DO NOT

 cross-connect tester to battery. ensure positive (ReD) clamp is to positive terminal and negative (BLACK) clamp is to  

 

 

negative terminal. If battery symbols cannot be distinguished, remember that the negative terminal is the one directly connected to the  

 

vehicle bodywork.

 

DO NOT

 use the tester outdoors, or in damp, or wet locations and 

DO NOT

 use in the vicinity of flammable liquids or gases.

 

ensure there is effective ventilation to prevent a build-up of explosive gases.

 

DO NOT

 use the tester for a task for which it is not designed.

 

When not in use, store the tester carefully in a safe, dry, childproof location.
