About these operating instructions and symbol
descriptions
Incorrect operation can lead to serious injury or death.
Incorrect operation or negligence may result in personal injury,
damage to the equipment or faulty measurements.
Instructions and tips for operation.
Numbers in illustrations (1, 2, 3 ...) refer to the corresponding numbers in brackets
(1), (2), (3) ... in the text next to the item numbers in the tables.
Instructions for which the order must be followed are numbered (1, 2, 3, ...).
Lists are marked with bullet points (●, ●, ...).
2 Safety and accident prevention rules
2.1 Important
For testing 12 volt batteries, and for testing 12 and 24 volt charging
systems.
Suggested operation range 0℃(32℉) to 50℃(122℉) in ambient
temperature.
1. WARNING: This product can expose you to chemicals including
arsenic, which is known to the State of California to cause cancer.
For more information, go to www.P65Warnings.ca.gov.
2. Working in the vicinity of a lead acid battery is dangerous.
Batteries generate explosive gases during normal battery
operation. For this reason, it is of utmost importance, if you have
any doubt, that each time before using your tester, you read
these instructions very carefully.
3. To reduce risk of battery explosion, follow these instructions and
those published by the battery manufacturer and manufacturer of
any equipment you intend to use in the vicinity of the battery.
Observe cautionary markings on these items.
4. Do not expose the tester to rain or snow.

2.2 Personal Safety Precautions
1. Someone should be within range of your voice or close enough to come to your aid
when you work near a lead acid battery.
2. Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case battery acid contacts skin, clothing
or eyes.
3. Wear safety glasses and protective clothing.
4. If battery acid contacts skin or clothing, wash immediately with soap and water. If acid
enters eye, immediately flood eye with running cold water for at least ten minutes
and get medical attention immediately..
5. NEVER smoke or allow a spark or flame in vicinity of battery or engine.
6. Be extra cautious to reduce risk of dropping a metal tool onto the
battery. It could spark or short-circuit the battery or other electrical parts
and could cause an explosion.
7. Remove personal metal items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces and
watches when working with a lead acid battery. It can produce a short
circuit current high enough to weld a ring or the like to metal causing a
severe burn.
2.3 Preparing to test
1. Be sure area around battery is well ventilated while battery is being tested.
2. Clean battery terminals. Be careful to keep corrosion from coming in contact with
eyes.
3. Inspect the battery for cracked or broken case or cover. If battery is damaged, do
not use tester.
4. If the battery is not sealed maintenance free, add distilled water in each cell until
battery acid reaches level specified by the manufacturer. This helps purge excessive
gas from cells. Do not overfill.
5. If necessary to remove battery from vehicle to test, always remove ground terminal
from battery first. Make sure all accessories in the vehicle are off to ensure you do
not cause any arcing.
Performance description
3.1 Operation & Use
Each time you connect the tester to a battery, the tester will run a quick
cable verification to ensure a proper connection through the output
cables to sensors in the clamp jaws. If the connection checks out OK,
the tester will proceed to the Home Screen. If the connection is poor,
the display will show “CHECK CABLE”. In this case, check cable
connections for visible signs of damage, as you may need to re-connect
the clamps to the battery or replace the cable end.

BEFORE TESTING:
1. Before you test a battery in a vehicle, turn off the ignition, all accessories and loads.
Close all the vehicle doors and the trunk lid.
2. Make sure the battery terminals are clean. Wire brush them if necessary. Clamp the
black load lead to the vehicle negative battery terminal. Clamp the red load lead to the
vehicle positive battery terminal. Please clamp on the lead part of the terminal only.
Clamping on the iron part of the terminal will lead to wrong test results.

Glossary
What is a GEL battery?
A gel battery is a lead-acid electric storage battery that:
is sealed using special pressure valves and should never be opened.
is completely maintenance-free.*
uses thixotropic gelled electrolyte.
uses a recombination reaction to prevent the escape of hydrogen and oxygen gases
normally lost in a flooded lead-acid battery (particularly in deep cycle applications).
is non-spillable, and therefore can be operated in virtually any position. However,
upside-down installation is not recommend-ed.
*Connections must be retorqued and the batteries should be cleaned periodically.
What is an AGM battery?
An AGM battery is a lead-acid electric storage battery that:
is sealed using special pressure valves and should never be opened.
is completely maintenance-free.*
has all of its electrolyte absorbed in separators consisting of a sponge-like mass of
matted glass fibers.
uses a recombination reaction to prevent the escape of hydrogen and oxygen gases
normally lost in a flooded lead-acid battery (particularly in deep cycle applications).
is non-spillable, and therefore can be operated in virtually any position. However,
upside-down installation is not recommended.
*Connections must be retorqued and the batteries should be cleaned periodically.

Operating Instructions
5070011165
13
What is a VRLA battery?
Valve Regulated Lead Acid Battery –This type of battery is sealed Maintenance Free with a
“Bunce” Valve or Valves in the top of them that opens when a preset pressure is realized
inside the battery and let’s the excess gas pressure out. Then the valve resets itself.
What is a SLI battery?
These initials stand for Starting, Lighting and Ignition, which are the three basic functions
which a battery has to perform on all normal vehicles. Batteries given this description will
have been specifically designed for service on cars and trucks within a voltage controlled
electrical system. Those SLI batteries which are intended for heavy haulage vehicles fitted
with large diesel motors may often be called COMMERCIAL batteries. They have to be much
more powerful and more robust than batteries intended for cars.
What is STATE OF HEALTH?
It means how much battery capacity is left (%) comparing with the marked original battery
capacity.
What is STATE OF CHARGE?
It means how many percent of the battery is actually charged.
What is CCA (COLD CRANKING AMPS)?
The current in amperes which a new fully charged battery can deliver for 30 seconds
continuously without the terminal voltage falling below 1.2volts per cell, after it has been
cooled to 0OF and held at that temperature. This rating reflects the ability of the battery to
deliver engine starting currents under winter conditions.
What is AMPERE-HOUR?
The unit of measurement of electrical capacity. A current of one ampere for one hour implies
the delivery or receipt of one ampere-hour of electricity. Current multiplied by time in hours
equals ampere-hours.

Disposal
On a product, the symbol of a dustbin with a cross through it means that the product
cannot be disposed of with the household waste. In the case of batteries or rechargeable
batteries/accumulators containing mercury (Hg), cadmium (Cd) or lead (Pb), the chemical
symbol is shown under the crossed-out dustbin symbol. The end user has an obligation to
return the batteries or rechargeable batteries/accumulators. These can be handed in free
of charge to the retailer or at any collection point. Electronic devices and rechargeable
batteries/accumulators should be handed in separately to each other. Make sure that the
batteries or accumulators are in a discharged state or, if necessary, protected against
short circuits. When purchasing products, try to ensure that the products have a long
service life. to minimise the amount of waste produced. If your electric or electronic device
contains personal data, you are responsible for deleting it.
Incorrect disposal of batteries or rechargeable batteries/accumulators can, because of the
substances they contain, harm the environment and human health. Special care should be
taken when handling lithium batteries. Products should be checked to see if they can be
re-used, for example, by being repaired, before you dispose of them.
!!! Always observe local disposal regulations!!!
Warranty
The warranty terms of Wilhelm Fricke SE, as can be found in the sales documents and the
current version of the Terms and Conditions, apply.
