INTRODUCTION
The Micro400XL Advanced Battery Conductance Analyzer and the
Micro500XL Advanced Battery Conductance & Electrical System Ana-
lyzer provide a complete analysis for 6- and 12-volt automotive,
commercial, and marine batteries. The MicroXL Series analyzers digi-
tally display voltage, battery condition and available power, and provide
a test code for warranty management. With a menu of options, the
analyzers can function also as voltmeters and as quality control devices
capable of testing up to 100 batteries in succession.
The Micro500XL integrates the in-vehicle battery test with a starting
system test. It also provides a charging system analysis by taking
multiple measurements while the charging system is exercised and at
idle to determine if it is capable of charging the battery while supplying
the necessary power for the electrical system.
Both analyzers enable wireless printing to an optional portable printer
through a built-in IR communication port.
SAFETY
Inspect the battery for damages and check the electrolyte level.
If the electrolyte level is too low, replenish it and fully charge the battery.
Always use the necessary safety precautions when working with batter-
ies:
• Carefully read all operating and safety instructions before using the
MicroXL Series analyzer.
•Wear eye protection and use caution when working around batter-
ies.
•Do not smoke, strike a match, or cause a spark in the vicinity of the
battery.
•Keep hair, hands, and clothing as well as analyzer cords and cables
away from moving engine parts.

connect the analyzer to
the battery.

BEFORE THE TEST
Testing Out-of-Vehicle
Clean the battery terminals with a wire brush before testing.
For Group 31 or side-terminal batteries, install and tighten the lead
terminal adapters provided with the analyzer.
NOTE: Do not use steel bolts. Failure to properly install
terminal adapters, or using adapters that are dirty or worn,
may cause false test results.
Testing In-Vehicle
The preferred test position is at the battery terminals. If the battery is not
accessible, you may test at the jumper post; however, the available
power value could be lower than the actual value. If you get a RETEST
AT
BATTERY POST result, disconnect the analyzer and retest at the posts.
If testing a side-post battery, the analyzer may display instructions
to CHECK FOR CORROSION, DISCONNECT & RETEST WITH
ADAPTERS. Follow the instructions before discarding the battery.
At the start of the test, make sure all vehicle accessory loads are off and
the ignition is in the off position.
CONNECTING THE ANALYZER
IMPORTANT: When you start a new test (outside of
QC Mode) by connecting to the battery, the last test results in
memory will be lost.
1. Connect the red clamp to the positive (+) terminal.
2. Connect the black clamp to the negative (–) terminal.
3. For a proper connection, rock the clamps back and forth.
The analyzer requires that both sides of each clamp be firmly
connected before testing. A poor connection will prevent testing
and produce a CHECK CONNECTION (BLACK or RED CLAMP)
message. If the message appears, clean the terminals and recon-
nect the clamps.
NOTE: Batteries connected in parallel must have the
ground cable disconnected or false test readings
may result.
If the clamps are connected in the wrong polarity (positive to negative
or negative to positive), the analyzer will alert you with a REVERSE
CONNECTION message. If any other messages appear when you
connect the analyzer to the battery, see “Troubleshooting Test Prob-
lems.”

CELL): The battery must be replaced before testing the starter. Press
ENTER to perform the charging system test.
If the battery is good and fully charged and the vehicle will not start, see
“Starting Problems.”
Starting Problems
With the vehicle lights on:
If the engine does not crank and the lights dim heavily, check the
connections to ensure the wiring is clean and in good condition. If wiring
is in good condition, repair or replace the starter.
If the engine does not crank and the lights go out, there is probably a poor
connection. Check the connection to the battery and ground and ensure
they are clean and tight.
If the starter does not crank and the lights do not turn on, check for an
open circuit and retest the battery to ensure it is good and fully charged.
Replace any defective wiring and clean and tighten all wiring connec-
tions. 8
ENGLISH
GB

With the vehicle lights off:
If the engine cranks slowly but will not start, check all wiring to ensure
it is in good condition. Make sure the cables from the starter to the battery
are sized according to the manufacturer’s specifications. If the engine
is operating properly and the wiring is in good condition, repair or replace
the starter.
If the engine cranks but does not start, check the ignition system and fuel
system for other problems.
If the engine does not crank and a clicking noise is heard, check the
solenoid.
CHARGING SYSTEM TEST (Micro500XL)
NOTE: When testing older model diesel engines in cold
weather, preheating and post heating of the glow plug may
skew test results. Warm up the engine for 5 minutes before
the test.
If you selected the IN-VEHICLE battery test using the Micro500XL after
the starter system test, the display will toggle between the starter system
test result and the charging system test screen. Press ENTER to begin
the test.
1. The analyzer will display the alternator voltage level. Press ENTER
to continue.
NOTE: If necessary the analyzer will ask if you are testing a
diesel engine. It will resume testing after you make your
selection.
2. The analyzer will prompt you to rev the engine. Gradually increase
the rpm until the analyzer tells you to HOLD the rev level as the black
bar shown on the display crosses the line.
NOTE: Some 8-cylinder and older vehicles idle at a high
level after starting, allowing the tester to detect a rev without
any action being taken. If this occurs, continue with the test
process. The final test results will not be affected.
3. When analyzer detects the rpm, it will prompt you to press ENTER
to continue.
4. The analyzer will next test the engine at idle for comparison to
other readings and then test the diode ripple. Excessive ripple
usually means one or more diodes have failed in the alternator or
there is
stator damage.
5. After approximately 10 seconds, it will prompt you to TURN LOADS
ON and press ENTER.
NOTE: DO NOT use cyclical loads such as air conditioning
or windshield wipers.
9
ENGLISH
GB

The analyzer will determine if the charging system is able to provide
sufficient current for the demands of the vehicle’s electrical system.
When asked to turn on the accessory loads, turn on the high-beam
headlights, rear defogger, and the blower to high (heat).
6. The analyzer will begin testing the charging system with the loads
on and prompt you to rev the engine. Gradually increase the rpm
until the analyzer tells you to HOLD the rev level as the black bar
shown on the display crosses the line.
7. When the analyzer detects the rpm, it will prompt you to press
ENTER to continue.
8. The analyzer will display one of the following results:
CHARGING SYSTEM NORMAL: The system is showing normal
output from the alternator. No problem detected.
CHARGING SYSTEM PROBLEM: The analyzer detected a prob-
lem in the charging system and will display the following results:
NO CHARGING VOLTAGE: The alternator is not providing charg-
ing current to the battery. Check the belts to ensure the alternator
is rotating with the engine running. Replace broken or slipping belts
and retest. Check 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. If the belts
and connections are in good working condition, replace the alterna-
tor. (Older vehicles use external voltage regulators, which may
require only replacement of the voltage regulator.)
LOW CHARGING VOLTAGE: The alternator is not providing suf-
ficient current for the system’s electrical loads and the charging
current for the battery. Check the belts to ensure the alternator is
rotating with the engine running. Replace broken or slipping belts
and retest. Check the connections from the alternator to the battery.
If the connection is loose or heavily corroded, clean or replace the
cable and retest. If the belts and connections are in good working
condition, replace the alternator. (In older vehicles that use external
voltage regulators, you may need to replace only the voltage
regulator.)
HIGH CHARGING VOLTAGE: The voltage output from the alterna-
tor to the battery exceeds the normal limits of a functioning regula-
tor. Check to ensure there are no loose connections and that the
ground connection is normal. If there are no connection problems,
replace the regulator. (Most alternators have a built-in regulator
requiring you to replace the alternator. In older vehicles that use
external voltage regulators, you may need to replace only the
voltage regulator.)
10
ENGLISH
GB

The regulator controls voltage output based on the battery voltage,
under-hood temperature, and vehicle loads used. In other words, it
controls the maximum voltage the system can produce based on
the current needs and amount of current that can be produced by the
spinning of the rotor in the alternator. The normal high limit of a
typical automotive regulator is 14.7 volts +/– 0.5. Refer to the
manufacturer specifications for the correct limit, which may vary by
vehicle type and manufacturer.
A high charging rate will overcharge the battery and may decrease
its life and cause it to fail. If the battery test decision is REPLACE and
the charging system test shows a HIGH CHARGING VOLTAGE,
check the levels of the electrolyte in the battery. A symptom of
overcharging is battery fluid spewing through the vent caps, which
causes low electrolyte levels and will harm the battery.
DIODE RIPPLE NORMAL: The charging system is functioning
within its normal operating range.
EXCESS RIPPLE DETECTED: One or more diodes in the alterna-
tor are not functioning or there is stator damage, which is shown by
an excessive amount of AC or ripple current supplied to the battery.
Make sure the alternator mounting is sturdy and that the belts are
in good shape and functioning properly. If the mounting and belts
are good, replace the alternator.
An alternator is designed to create the electrical energy necessary
to charge the battery and provide for the vehicle’s electrical system
load. Since the alternator creates AC, (alternating current), it must
be rectified into DC, (direct current), to charge the battery and supply
power to the rest of the system. To accomplish this, the alternator
uses diodes which allow current flow in only one direction, changing
AC current to DC current. When one or more of the diodes fail, the
AC ripple current from the alternator to the battery will exceed
normally acceptable limits.
DIODE RIPPLE NOT DETECTED: The analyzer is not able to
detect diode ripple through the battery cables, or the alternater is
not spinning.
9. The analyzer will toggle through the CHARGING SYSTEM results
until you disconnect.
