b. If the display rapidly climbs to over 15V DC
within a few seconds the battery is bad or heavily
sulfated. Do not perform an “Engine Start”
operation on this battery.
c. The bad battery could allow the charger to sup-
ply a high enough voltage in Engine Start mode to
damage the vehicle electrical system (similar to the
“no battery” warning stated above in item #1).
2.
Set the Battery VOLTAGE to 6V, 12V or 24V.
3.
Set the OUTPUT RATE to ENGINE START.
NOTE:
The charger will supply charge to the battery
before cranking.
4.
Press the START/STOP button. The first engine start
can occur during the next 3 minutes.
5.
Crank the vehicle. DO NOT CRANK FOR LONGER
THAN 20 SECONDS.
NOTE:
During extremely cold weather, or if the
battery is under one volt, charge the battery for five
minutes before cranking the engine.
6.
Wait three minutes before attempting to start again.
The digital display will indicate the time remaining
before cranking again and the ENGINE START LED
will blink.
NOTE:
During this cool down period, the charger is
supplying the battery with a charge of up to 10A.
7.
When the digital display times down to
0
and reads
, the Engine Start LED has stopped blinking and
the Charging LED is on, you are ready to crank
the vehicle again. You have three minutes to perform
an engine start (Pressing the Start/Stop button is
NOT REQUIRED.)
8.
If the engine still does not start, allow the charger
to charge the battery for five more minutes before
cranking it again.
9.
After the engine starts, unplug the charger power
cord from the wall outlet, before disconnecting from
the battery.
If the engine does turn over, but never starts, there is
not a problem with the starting system; there is a problem
somewhere else with the vehicle. STOP cranking the
engine until the other problem has been diagnosed and
corrected.
FLASH REPROGRAMMING
Not for use with LiFePO
4
batteries.
NOTE:
Do not attempt to Flash Reprogram a vehicle
that has a discharged or defective battery. Make sure
that the vehicle battery is in good condition and FULLY
CHARGED before proceeding.
The EEBC500B-INT is designed to supply up to 100 amps
in “Flash Reprogram” mode.
Some newer vehicles may require more than 100 amps
while flash reprogramming the ECU. Consult the vehicle
manufacturer’s specifications to determine the required
amperage. The EEBC500B-INT “Flash Reprogram” mode
cannot be used on vehicles that require more than 100 amps,
or damage to the ECU and/or vehicle’s electrical system
may occur. Failure to follow these instructions may also
damage the service center’s flash reprogram equipment.
1.
Set BATTERY VOLTAGE to FLASH REPROGRAMMING.
2.
Use “UP” and “DOWN” buttons to adjust the voltage
needed for the vehicle being programmed (refer to
OEM specifications). Voltage selected is shown on
the digital display. The unit has a voltage range of
13.0 to 14.8, with a default of 14.2.
NOTE
: When the VOLTS LED stops blinking, the
display shows the selected voltage.
3.
Press START/STOP to activate the output.
NOTE:
During this time, the other buttons will not
work until you turn off the output. When the display
shows
no buttons will work for five seconds, then
it automatically goes back to the default state.
4.
When finished with Flash Reprogramming, press
START/STOP to exit this mode.
BATTERY PERCENTAGE
Press the display mode button to switch from battery volt-
age to battery % of charge.
ALTERNATOR PERFORMANCE CHECK
1.
Set DISPLAY MODE to ALT %.
2.
With vehicle engine running, the digital display will
indicate approximate alternator/battery voltage as
percent of normal (100% is normal). If the percentage
is low or high, a problem is indicated. Use an alternator
tester for further diagnosis.
