How to use:
1. Connect the red test clamp with battery anode and the black one with cathode, the
tester will power on automatically. Voltage battery below 7.0VDC can’t be tested
properly, then press OK key to continue.
2. According to the tester, you can press UP/DOWN key to choose:
①Battery Test
②Cranking Test
③Charging Test
④Review Data
⑤Print Data
⑥Export Data
（1）Battery Test
Select the battery test and press OK key to continue:
Battery Type: select your battery type, usually is “Regular Flooded”
Input testing standard: the standard which you can see the front of the
battery ,such as CCA、BCI、DIN. If you can’t find any info about the standard,
you can choose GB standard. Choose GB standards would lead little tolerance.
Input rated capacity: you can see the starting current standards in front of the
battery .Such as BCI/300A.
Then press OK key to start testing.
Note：
For power loss battery (such as a vehicle for a long time on hold, the battery is not
charged in time; forget to close the lights, the doors resulting in serious loss of battery
electric vehicle and can not be started, etc.), in the actual testing process may also be
prompted to "Please replace the battery," for such batteries, please consult the battery
manufacturers, and then tested.

（2）Cranking Test
After entering the second start system test function ，the press OK key as
following:
Cranking Test
START ENGINE
Starting the engine as prompted, tester will automatically complete the cranking test
and display the result.
Cranking Test
RPM DETECTED
Normally, cranking voltage value lower than 9.6V is regarded as abnormal and it is OK
if it is higher than 9.6V.
Test result of the tester includes actual cranking voltage and actual cranking time.
Cranking Test
TIME 1758ms
CRANKING NORMAL
10.56V
When cranking test is abnormal, battery test result will also be displayed at the same
time.
Cranking Test
TIME 1020ms
CRANKING LOW
9.12V

This is for the convenience of the maintenance personnel to quickly know the whole
state of the starting system according to the data.
If the engine starting can`t be detected, there may be no output of charging voltage, you
need to check the generator.
（3）Charging Test
When enter the charging test, tester will prompt "Loaded testing"
Charging Test
LOADED TESTING
**************
Note: Do not shut down the engine during the test. All electrical appliance
and device are in OFF state. Turn on/off any electrical appliance in the
vehicle during the test will affect the accuracy of the test result.
Operate accordingly to increase the engine rotating speed to 2500turns, and keep for 5
seconds.
Charging Test
Increase RPM to 2500
r/min and keep it 5 seconds.
Press ENTER to continue.
Tester starts the charging volt test after increase rev detected.

After the test finished, tester displays the effective charging volts, ripple test result and
charging test result.
Charging Test
Loaded 13.97V
Unload 14.23V
Ripple 15mV
CHARGING NORMAL
Check the connection between generator and battery, then retest.
Charging Test Result:
1. Charging Volt: Normal. The generator output normal, no problem detected.
2. Charging Volt: Low. Check drive belt of the generator whether slip or running off.
Check the connection between generator and battery is normal or not. If both of the
drive belt and the connection are in good condition, follow the manufacturer's
suggestion to eliminate generator fault.
3. Charging Volt: High. Since most of the vehicle generators are using internal regulator,
the generator assembly has to be replaced.(Some old style cars are using external
regulator, then directly replace the regulator.) The normal high volt of the voltage
regulator is maximum 14.7±0.5V.If charging volt is too high, it will overcharge the
battery. Therefore, the battery life will be shortened and troubles will be caused.
4. No Volt Output. No generator volt output is detected. Check the generator
connection cable, the drive belt of generator and engine whether normal or not.
5. Diode Test: Through the test of charging current ripple, tester will find out whether
the diode is normal or not. When ripple volt is too high, it proves at least one diode is
damaged. Check and replace the diode.
