EXP-803 Chapter 10: Maintenance / Troubleshooting
Handling the Test Cables
•
Always connect and disconnect the clamps to the battery
by opening and closing the clamps. Never pull on the test
cables to remove the battery clamps. Pulling can damage
the Y-junction, the cables, and the clamps to the extent
that the analyzer may produce lower-than-expected con-
ductance readings or fail completely.
•
Never carry the analyzer by the cables. Carrying the ana-
lyzer or swinging it by the cables puts unnecessary strain
on the cables and can result in premature failure. Handle
the analyzer with care to get the maximum use from the
product.
•
Never wrap the cables around the analyzer; this puts un-
necessary strain on the test cables.
Test cables they have a certain life expectancy and will wear
out eventually. To ensure the best performance and longest
life of the test cables, attach and remove them with care, and
carry the analyzer and cables together.
IMPORTANT: Test cables that have been abused are
not covered under the Midtronics warranty.
If an inspection or a change in test results indicate that the test
cables need to be replaced, please call Midtronics Customer
Service at 1-630-323-2800.
