Operating Manual
CBA Charger Interface is not connecting
Make sure the CBA is software running and try reconnecting the USB cable to the Charge Controller.
CBA does not indicate voltage
The battery may not be connected or it is completely dead.
OR
CBA unit may be damaged. Contact West Mountain Radio support.
OR
CBA HR may have a 3.5 mm plug inserted into its auxiliary port, thus disconnecting internal voltage sensing from
the Powerpole battery test connectors.
CBA gets too hot and shuts itself off
The CBA has an internal temperature monitor that is programmed to protect it from overheating when operated
at maximum ratings and at normal room temperature.
Make sure the fan is running during a test, nothing is blocking the cooling inlet, and the CBA is being operated
in a relatively cool location. Do not use it in direct sunlight or on near a heat source, such as too near the battery
being tested.
Do not attempt to conduct successive high current tests without letting the CBA cool down and shut off its fan
between tests.
Some CBA Menu selections are grayed out and do not work
These are typically the optional features available only with the Extended Software License. Visit

No load drawn from CBA during test, or test runs but battery voltage never decreases
The usual cause for this is the internal safety fuse in the CBA has blown. If this is suspected, remove the red lid
from the bottom of the CBA and check the automotive style ATOATC fuse connected to the PCB (25A for CBA;
2A for CBA HR). Verify this fuse is okay and replace if necessary. If running high power CBA IV tests, it might be
necessary to replace the factory installed 25A fuse with the 40A fuse, as separately, packed with each new CBA
IV, If the fuse is okay but the CBA is still not drawing power, contact West Mountain Radio support.
