1.1.1 Warning notices - Structure and meaning
Warning notices indicate hazards and their consequen-
ces for the user or surrounding persons. Warning noti-
ces also describe the measures for preventing these
hazards. The signal word has a crucial importance. It
indicates the probability of occurrence and the severity
of the hazard in case of non-compliance:
Signal
word
Probability of
occurrence
Severity of danger if in-
structions not observed
DANGER Immediate impend-
ing danger
Death or severe injury
WARNING Possible impending
danger
Death or severe injury
CAUTION Possible dangerous
situation
Minor injury
Below you will see an example of the “Live parts”
warning notice by way of example, with the signal word
DANGER:
DANGER – Exposure of live parts on ope-
ning the BAT 131!
Risk of (fatal) injury or heart failure from elec-
tric shocks on contact with live components.
¶Work on electrical installations or equip-
ment is only to be performed by qualified
electricians or trained personnel under the
guidance and supervision of an electrician.
¶Disconnect BAT 131 from the mains before
opening.

4. Perform Test
4.1 Test Preparations
Before connecting the tester, clean the battery posts
or side terminals with a wire brush and a mixture of
baking soda and water. When testing side-post batte-
ries, install and tighten lead terminal adapters. A set of
adapters is included with the tester.
!Do not test at or with steel bolts. Failure to install
terminal adapters or installing terminal adapters
that are worn or dirty may result in inaccurate test
results. To avoid damage, never use a wrench to
tighten the adapters more than ¼ turn.
iIf you are testing in the vehicle, make sure all acces-
sory loads are off, the key is not in the ignition, and
the doors are closed.
4.2 Connecting BAT 131
1. Connect the red clamp to the positive (+) terminal
2. Connect the black clamp to the negative (–) terminal.
!For a proper connection, rock the clamps back and
forth. The tester requires that both sides of each
clamp be firmly connected before testing. A poor
connection will produce a CHECK CONNECTION or
WIGGLE CLAMPS message. If the message appears,
clean the terminals and reconnect the clamps.
iThe preferred test position is at the battery termi-
nals. If the battery is not accessible, you may test at
the jumper post; however, the available power mea-
surement may be lower than the actual value.
4.3 Battery Test
1. BAT. LOCATION
Scroll to and select IN VEHICLE or OUT OF VEHICLE
for a battery not connected to a vehicle.
iFollowing an "IN VEHICLE" test you will be prompted
to test the starting and charging systems.
!The performance of the starting and charging sys-
tems depends on the battery’s condition. It is impor-
tant that the battery is good and fully charged before
any further system testing.

Message Action to be taken
GOOD BATTERY 1) Return the battery to service.
GOOD-RECHARGE 1) Fully charge the battery and return it to
service.
CHARGE & RETEST 1) Fully charge the battery and retest. Fai-
lure to fully charge the battery before re-
testing may cause inaccurate results. If
CHARGE & RETEST appears again after
you fully charge the battery, replace the
battery.
REPLACE BATTERY. 1) Replace the battery and retest. A RE-
PLACE BATTERY result may also mean
a poor connection between the battery
cables and the battery. After disconnec-
ting the battery cables, retest the bat-
tery using the out-of-vehicle test before
replacing it.
BAD CELL-REPLACE Replace the battery and retest.
24 VOLT SYSTEM 24-volt system detected. Disconnect
batteries and test individually.
READY TO INSTALL Battery has just been activated and is
ready to install in vehicle
NEEDS CHARGE 1) Fully charge battery and retest using BE-
FORE DELIVERY.
Failure to fully charge the battery befo-
re retesting may cause false readings.
SIDE POST Test data was inconclusive using the si-
de post. Retest using side post adap-
ters.
JUMP START POST Data was inconclusive using the Remote
post. Retest at the battery terminals.
1) The battery is only assessed if the "BATTERY POST AT TOP"
option is selected.

4.5 Starter System Test
!Before starting the test, inspect the alternator drive
belt. A belt that is glazed or worn, or lacks the pro-
per tension, will prevent the engine from achieving
the rpm levels needed for the test.
iOnce you have completed an in-vehicle test, the dis-
play alternates between the battery test results and
the message PRESS EFOR STARTER TEST.
1. Press the Ebutton to proceed with the starter test.
iIf a Amp Clamp (special accessory) is being used
and this has been activated (refer to Section 3.6),
heed the instructions on the screen. The Amp Clamp
must be set to “0” without locating at negative
wiring. After that it should be clamped at negative
wiring with indicating arrow sign on the housing of
the probe to positive direction.
2. Start the engine when prompted.
3. The tester displays the Starter System cranking vol-
tage and cranking time in milliseconds.
4.6 Starter System Test Results
iIf testing vehicle equip with charging regulated
system and battery is fully charged an accelerating
engine rpm can not be detected by system (because
alternator automatically switched off for reducing fuel
consumption). In this case charging system test is
impossible.
iPress E to proceed with the charging system test,
press  to print the test results, press MENU to
return to the Menu.
Message Action to be taken
CRANKING NORMAL The starter voltage is normal and the
battery is fully charged.
LOW VOLTAGE The starter voltage is low and the batte-
ry is fully charged.
CHARGE BATTERY The starter voltage is low and the batte-
ry is discharged. Fully charge the batte-
ry and repeat the starter system test.
REPLACE BATTERY Battery must be replaced before the st-
arting system can be tested.
NO START No vehicle start detected.
CRANKING SKIPPED A start was not detected.
SIDE POST Test data was inconclusive using the si-
de post. Retest using side post adap-
ters.
JUMP START POST Data was inconclusive using the Remo-
te post. Retest at the battery terminals.
iFor an in-vehicle test, the display alternates between
the test results and the message PRESS EFOR
CHARGING TEST.
4.7 Charging System Test
iOnce you have completed an in-vehicle test and the
starteter test, the display alternates between the
battery test results and the message PRESS E
FOR CHARGING TEST. Press the Ebutton to pro-
ceed with the charging test.
Following the on-screen prompts:
1. Rev the engine.
2. Turn on high beams headlights and the blower fan.
3. Rev engine with loads on.
4. Idle engine and turn off loads.
5. The Charging System decision is displayed at the
end of the procedure.

iPress the to print the test results or MENU/POWER to return to the Options 1Menu.
Message Interpretation Action to be taken
NO PROBLEMS System is showing normal
output from the alternator.
–
NO OUTPUT No alternator output de-
tected.
RCheck all connections to and from the alternator, especially the connection to
the battery. If the connection is loose or heavily corroded, clean or replace the
cable and retest.
RIf the belts and connections are in good working condition, replace the alterna-
tor. (Older vehicles use external voltage regulators, which may require only re-
placement of the voltage regulator.)
LOW OUTPUT Alternator not providing
sufficient current to po-
wer the system's electri-
cal loads and to charge the
battery.
RCheck the belts to ensure the alternator is rotating with the engine running. Re-
place broken or slipping belts and retest.
RCheck the connections from the alternator to the battery. If the connection is
loose or heavily corroded, clean or replace the cable and retest.
HIGH OUTPUT Alternator voltage output
exceeds the normal limits.
RMake sure there are no loose connections and the ground connection is normal.
If there are no connection problems, replace the regulator. Most alternators
have a built-in regulator that requires replacing the alternator. In older vehic-
les that use external voltage regulators, you may need to replace only the volta-
ge regulator.
EXCESSIVE RIPPLE Excessive AC ripple de-
tected.
One or more diodes in the alternator is not functioning or there is stator damage.
CHARGE BATTERY The starter voltage is low
and the battery is dischar-
ged.
Fully charge the battery and repeat the starter system test.
REPLACE BATTERY If the battery test result
was REPLACE or BAD
CELL.
The battery must be replaced before testing the starter.
SIDE POST Test data was inconclusive
using the side post.
Retest using side post adapters.
JUMP START POST Data was inconclusive
using the Remote post.
Retest at the battery terminals.

5. Unused Battery Mode
The QC Test "Unused Battery" enables you to quickly
check new batteries in your inventory. The test can verify
up to 100 batteries in succession This test differs from
the Battery Test in that the decision is either pass or fail.
