OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
GB
RECHARGE RETEST - the battery is
fl
at and cannot be tested
until it is fully charged. Disconnect the tester, charge the battery
and repeat the test.
BAD REPLACE - the battery does not bear the load and should
be replaced with a new one.
TEST ERROR - the tested battery has a CCA higher than 1200
or the tester has not been properly connected to the battery. Dis-
connect the tester, recharge the battery, and after removing both
of the above causes, repeat the test. In case of the same result,
replace the battery immediately.
STARTING SYSTEM TEST PROCEDURE
The test procedure can only be carried out with the battery in-
stalled in the car.
Connect the red tester clamp marked with “+” with positive bat-
tery terminal. Connect the black tester clamp marked with “-” with
negative battery terminal or element of the car body to which the
negative battery terminal is connected.
The tester display will be backlighted and after a while the BAT-
TERY TEST message appear, use the arrows to select SYSTEM
TEST and after a while voltage value in volts, e.g. 12.28 V mes-
sage will appear. Press the ENTER button to proceed to the next
step of the procedure.
The message TURN OFF LOADS START ENGINE will appear.
Switch o
ff
all loads, e.g. lights, air conditioning, radio and start
the engine; wait until the tester displays the cranking voltage.
When the motor is running, one of the results and the current
voltage indication will be displayed after the end of the test.
CRANKING VOLTS NORMAL - the cranking voltage value is
within the correct range.
CRANKING VOLTS LOW - the cranking voltage value is too low.
Carry out the test procedure recommended by the car manufac-
turer to determine the cause.
CRANKING VOLTS NOT DETECTED - the tester was not able
to measure the cranking voltage value. Press the ENTER button
and start the test procedure from the beginning.
Press the ENTER button, PRESS ENTER FOR CHARGING
TEST message will appear (press ENTER button to perform
a charge test), press ENTER button again. The MAKE SURE
ALL LOADS ARE OFF message will appear (make sure that all
loads are switched o
ff
). Switch o
ff
all loads and press the ENTER
button.
At the end of the test, one of the results and the current voltage
indication will appear.
ALT. IDLE VOLTS NORMAL - the alternator supplies su
ffi
cient
idle voltage.
ALT. IDLE VOLTS LOW - the alternator provides insu
ffi
cient idle
voltage.
ALT. IDLE VOLTS HIGH - the alternator supplies too high idle
voltage.
Press the ENTER button, TURN ON LOADS AND PRESS EN-
TER message will appear (switch on the loads and press the
ENTER). Switch on loads such as light, air conditioning, radio,
etc. and press the ENTER button. At the end of the test, one of
the results and the current voltage indication will appear.
ALT. LOAD VOLTS NORMAL - the alternator supplies su
ffi
cient
load voltage.
ALT. LOAD VOLTS LOW - the alternator supplied insu
ffi
cient
load voltage.
ALT. LOAD VOLTS HIGH - the alternator supplies too high load
voltage.
DISPLAY BRIGHTNESS
After connecting the tester to the battery, press the ENTER but-
ton until the LCD BRIGHTNESS message (display brightness)
and the current percentage of display brightness appear. Press
the ENTER button again, then use the arrows to change the dis-
play brightness. Press the ENTER button to save the settings.
DEVICE MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE
Clean the tester housing with a slightly damp cloth (water) and
wipe it dry. Never immerse the tester in water or other liquids.
Keep the tester clamps clean. If there are signs of corrosion or
patina, clean the metal parts with a cleaning agent for the copper
electrical terminals.
Store the tester separately so that it is not exposed to impacts,
e.g. from other tools in the toolbox. The place of storage should
be shaded and well ventilated. It should also protect against un-
authorised access, especially by children.
This symbol indicates that waste electrical and electronic equipment
(including batteries and storage cells) cannot be disposed of with
other types of waste. Waste equipment should be collected and
handed over separately to a collection point for recycling and
recovery, in order to reduce the amount of waste and the use of natural
resources. Uncontrolled release of hazardous components contained
in electrical and electronic equipment may pose a risk to human health
and have adverse e
ff
ects for the environment. The household plays an
important role in contributing to reuse and recovery, including recycling
of waste equipment. For more information about the appropriate recycling
methods, contact your local authority or retailer.
