Product Usage Instructions

Safety Precautions

• Personal Precautions
  • Ensure another person is nearby for assistance in case of emergencies.
  • Wear safety eye protection and protective clothing.
  • Have fresh water nearby for battery acid contact.
  • Remove metallic items to prevent welding due to high short-circuit current.
  • Avoid contact with fan blades and hot engine parts.
  • Do not smoke or create sparks near the battery or engine.
• General Safety Instructions
  Familiarise yourself with the application, limitations, and potential hazards of the tester. Also, refer to the vehicle manufacturer’s hand book. IF IN ANY DOUBT, CONSULT A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.
  • Ensure that the tester is in good condition before use. If in any doubt, do not use the unit and contact a qualified electrician.
  • Only use recommended attachments and parts. Using unapproved items may be dangerous and will invalidate your warranty.
  • Keep tools and other items away from the engine, and ensure that you can see the battery and working parts of the engine.
  • Determine the system voltage before using the tester.
  • If the tester receives a sharp knock or blow, the unit must be checked by a qualified service agent before using.
  • If the battery terminals are corroded or dirty, clean them before using the tester.
  • Keep children and unauthorised persons away from the work area.
  • DO NOT dismantle the tester for any reason. The tester must only be checked by qualified service personnel.
  • WARNING ! To prevent the risk of sparking, short circuit, and possible explosion, DO NOT drop metal tools in the battery area or allow them to touch the battery terminals.
  • DO NOT cross-connect tester to battery. Ensure positive (RED) clamp is to positive terminal and negative (black ) clamp is to negative terminal. If battery symbols cannot be distinguished: the negative terminal is the one directly connected to the vehicle bodywork.
  • DO NOT use the tester outdoors or in damp locations, and DO NOT use in the vicinity of flammable liquids or gases.
  • Ensure there is effective ventilation to prevent a build-up of explosive gases.
  • DO NOT use the tester for a task for which it is not designed.
  • When not in use, store the tester carefully in a safe, dry, childproof location.
• Introduction
  Fast and accurate diagnosis of battery and alternator faults with facility to print the results. Large LCD display shows charging and starting system status and returns decision making information in seconds. Results need no interpretation and the tester will work on batteries with as little as 1.5V of residual charge.
• Operation
  WARNING! Ensure that you read, understand, and apply the safety and operational instructions before applying the tester clamps to the battery. Only when you are sure that you understand the procedures is it safe to proceed with the testing process.
  1. Preparation
     WARNING! Ensure that the vehicle, or battery, is in a well-ventilated area before starting to test.
     1. Check the battery casing for cracks or leakage. If damage is found, DO NOT test and rreplacethe attery.
     2. Clean battery terminals.
     3. If possible, check electrolyte levels and top up with distilled water as necessary.
     4. When testing on the vehicle, unless otherwise specified, tests are carried out with all electrical items switched off. Leaving any items on (boot light, interior light, etc.) can result in expensive mis-diagnosis. If the vehicle was running prior to testing, turn on the headlights for 30 seconds to remove surface charge. Switch off the lights, let the battery recover for 60 seconds before testing.
     5. Confirm that the 4 x 1.5V battery (not supplied) is fitted correctly in the compartment in the rear of the tester (fig.1). The batteries power the printer and enable storage of test data afterthe testt and disconnection. DO NOT operate the printer without the print paper loaded and ready for printing.
  2. Connecting to Battery
     1. Connect the positive (red) clip to the positive (+) terminal of the battery. Ensure a good connection to the terminal.
     2. Connect the negative (black) clip to the negative (-) battery terminal, again ensuring a good connection.
  3. Display
     1. The initial screen display shows: (fig.3)
     2. Which includes the battery voltage.
  4. Battery Test
