Plate, AGM Spiral, GEL and EFB...etc.
2、 Battery condition detection.
3、 Reverse polarity protection which will not cause the damage when connecting
reversely either for analyzer or battery.
4、 Low battery testing.
5、 Multiple rating system selection, eg. CCA, DIN, JIS, EN, IEC, GB, SAE, MCA, BCI
and CA.
6、 Multi-language support which includes Traditional Chinese, English, Japanese...etc,
other language is available according to customer´s requirement.
■ Function

Chapter 3 Operation
■ Pre-Test
● Please clean battery poles before using.
● Please make sure clamps and battery are well-connected.
● Before testing, please make sure the engine stopped and the door closed.
■ Connect Analyzer
● Please connect the clamps with the battery pole, positive to positive and
negative to negative.
Please make sure clamps are well-connected. If they are not connected well,
the test will be unavailable. If screen shows“CHECK CONNECTION ＂,
before getting into the testing program, please clean the poles and re-connect.
CHECK CONNECTION
● This Analyzer has reverse polarity protection. If the clamps are connecting
reversely, the screen will not light on. But it will not cause any damages either on
analyzer or car load.
※ For parallel batteries, must break off the cathode connection first, then do the
individual test to each battery. If you do not break off the cathode connection,
there might come out with an error testing result.
※ For series batteries, if it is 24V, please test by each battery.

■ Charging Test Result
① Charging Voltage：Normal
No problems detected.
② Charging Voltage：Low
Please check if alternator system is well-connected. Otherwise, the alternator
might be faulty.
③ Charging Voltage：High
Normally the highest voltage for stabilizer will not over 14.7±0.5V, otherwise,
please check if the alternator is faulty.
④ No Output：
Please check if alternator system is well-connected.
⑤ Ripple：
Through detecting the charging current wave to check if the ripple is in a
normal condition. If the voltage is too high means the rectifier is damaged,
please check and replace.
