Recommended Test Procedure
The DSS-5000 testing process uses Conductance Proling™
technology which determines battery cranking capability and
also adds Reserve Capacity testing. With this additional process,
initial battery analysis can take up to 60 seconds to complete.
IMPORTANT: Always begin each test by connecting the
Tester Pod clamps to the battery being tested . The test-
ing process begins as soon as the clamps are connected.
The DSS-5000 provides a battery decision along with additional
detailed information on battery cranking and reserve capacity.
Swipe the screen horizontally to the right or left to view the
additional results screens. (See Page 3)
VIN Scanning
The DSS-5000 uses a camera built into the Controller handle to
scan the VIN of the vehicle being tested. This number is then
cross referenced with the original equipment manufacturer's
battery specifications stored in the tester's database and
displayed on the Controller screen.
Scanning Tips
•Camera: Located in the upper left portion on the back of
the Controller handle.
Flashlight
VIN Camera
•Hold Steady: Hold Controller steady when scanning the
VIN barcode. This allows the user to clearly see the barcode
and allows the camera to focus on it.
Acquire VIN 93%
Flashlight
Fill the viewnder with the VIN and center it along the red line.
Or enter VIN using:
Back Manual Entry
•Fill Viewnder: Make sure the entire barcode is visible.
Keeping the entire VIN barcode visible while slowly moving
the camera closer or further away will help capture.
•Clean Barcode/Window: Surface dirt can interfere with the
scanning process. If necessary wipe the VIN barcode with a
cloth or your nger remove any surface dirt.
•Lighting/Glare: The built-in ashlight will automatically
turn on In low light situations. If the ashlight, or sunlight, is
shining directly onto the VIN barcode, try pivoting the cam-
era up or down slightly to reduce any glare.
