Setting User Preferences
Before starting your test you may want to customize the use
of your GR8 by setting preferences in the Setup Menu under
the Admin icon. This menu has settings for time, contrast,
customizing printouts for the optional IR printer, and several
other settings. The Setup utilities are described in Chapter 15.
Help Menu
The GR8 provides a Help Menu with a glossary of
test-related definitions that you may want to re-
view prior to testing.
This menu also provides troubleshooting information and
phone numbers for Midtronics Customer Service, in case you
encounter a problem and/or need technical assistance.
Select the HELP icon from the Main Menu.
Multitasking
The GR8-1250 Multitasking Battery Diagnostic Station is
capable of doing two jobs at once. Historically a charger or
tester could only perform one function at a time. The GR8-
1250 Multitasking Battery Diagnostic Station has the ability
to charge or test the battery independently while a second
battery is being charged.
Do not connect both sets of clamps to
the same battery at the same time.
Connecting both sets of clamps to the same battery
at the same time may damage the GR8.
Procedure Example
The best way to utilize the multitasking feature is by first
testing a battery using the Battery Test with the associated
battery test cables that come from the top of the controller. If
the charger is on and the test decision for the battery is one
that requires a charge then the controller will ask you if you
want to charge the battery.
Select NEXT, swap out the tester cables for the charging cables,
and the controller will now analyze the battery for the optimal
charging conditions (See Chapter 6 for detailed Diagnostic
Charging instructions). Once the charge process has started
you can go back to the main menu and continue to run battery
tests while the charger is charging.
