Carefully read all operating instructions before
using the XTC-160OZR.
Wear eye protection when working around
batteries.
The XTC-160OZR is equipped with a power cord.
Never use an extension cord that is more than
50ft and it must not be smaller than 12 gauge.
Make sure the extension cord and receptacle are
properly grounded.
Be sure each test is completed before removing
load clamps to prevent arcing and potential
explosion from battery gases. Never remove load
clamps while testing.
Keep sparks, flames or cigarettes away from
batteries.
Provide adequate ventilation to remove car exhaust.
In extremely cold temperatures, check for frozen electrolytic fluid before applying load.
Do not attempt to Load Test or Charge a battery under 20°F. Allow the battery to warm
to room temperature before testing or charging.
Never connect load clamps to more than one 6 volt or one 12 volt battery at a time.
Connection to 24 volts will dangerously overload the circuitry.
Do not test multiple batteries or 24 volt systems using the XTC-160OZR.
Warning! Never attach the XTC-160OZR to a battery that is connected to any other
tester or charging unit. Damage may result.
CAUSE OF BATTERY FAILURE
Incorrect Application
: Wrong size battery may have inadequate cold cranking Amp
rating for original vehicle specifications.
Incorrect Installation:
Loose battery hold-downs cause excessive vibration, which
can result in damage to the plates.
Improper Maintenance:
Low electrolytic fluid and corrosion on battery connections,
can greatly reduce battery life and affect battery performance.
Age of Battery:
If the date code on the battery indicates it is fairly old, the failure may
be due to natural causes.
Overcharging:
Overcharging caused by a high voltage regulator setting or incorrect
battery charging can cause excessive gassing, heat and water loss.
Undercharging:
Undercharging caused by a faulty charging system or low voltage
regulator setting can cause lead sulfate to gradually build up and crystallize on the
plates greatly reducing the battery’s capacity and ability to be recharge.

The following menu appears that lets
you save the units stored data in a USB
memory device or upgrade the units
firmware via a USB memory device.
Plug USB memory device into the USB
smart port. Wait a few seconds for the
smart port to see the USB memory device
and then press 'Y'. The XTC-160OZR
will save the data in memory to the USB
memory device's 'Root Directory' as
XTC160.CVS. It will return to the USB menu
when done. The file can then be opened by
most spreadsheet or text editor programs.
The XTC-160OZR will be automatically upgraded through the in store network
as needed.
