Operating Instructions
Quick Charging Mode
For immediate charging without app control, press the button on the charger to initiate the quick charging process. The device will automatically detect the battery type and begin charging.
App Intelligent Management (Bluetooth Control)
The TB6000Pro can be controlled and monitored via a mobile application connected via Bluetooth. This allows for advanced settings and real-time data monitoring.
- Bluetooth Connection: Connect your smartphone to the TB6000Pro via Bluetooth through the dedicated app.
- Timed Charging: Set specific times for the charger to operate, which can help manage electricity costs.
- Adjustable Current and Voltage: Fine-tune charging parameters (voltage 6-16V, current 1-6A) with 0.1 accuracy for specific battery requirements.
- Real-time Monitoring: Monitor power consumption and charged power in real-time through the app.

Battery Testing Functions
The TB6000Pro functions as a comprehensive battery tester, providing detailed analysis and reports.
- Pre- and Post-Report: Generate reports showing data comparison (CCA, Internal Resistance, Voltage, State of Health) before and after charging to demonstrate battery improvement. These reports can be saved.
- Battery Test: Measures State of Health (SOH), State of Charge (SOC), and performs Resistance Test.
- Charging Test: Includes Ripple Analysis, Load Voltage, and No-Load Voltage measurements.
- Cranking Test: Evaluates Cranking Analysis, Cranking Voltage, and Cranking Time.

Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your TB6000Pro, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Keep the device clean and free from dust and debris.
- Store in a dry environment when not in use.
- The rugged ABS housing and IP65 rating provide protection against water and dust, allowing use in various environments. However, avoid submerging the device in water.
- Regularly inspect cables and connectors for any signs of wear or damage.
Troubleshooting
The TB6000Pro is equipped with smart safety features to prevent common issues. If you encounter problems, consider the following:
- No Power/Display: Ensure the charger is properly plugged into a live power outlet. Check the power cable for damage.
- Charging Error (e.g., "Error 4"): This may indicate a severely discharged or damaged battery. Try using the SUPPLY MODE to raise the battery voltage if applicable. Ensure the battery type selected in the app (if used) matches the connected battery.
- No Bluetooth Connection: Ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your smartphone and the TB6000Pro is within range. Restart both the app and the charger if necessary.
- Slow Charging: Verify the selected charging current in the app. Ensure the battery is not excessively large for the charger's capacity (6A max).
- Safety Features Triggered: The device protects against reverse polarity, sparks, short circuits, overheating, and overvoltages. If the charger stops unexpectedly, check for these conditions and correct them before resuming.
