INTRODUCTION
We appreciate you have chosen the products of TM MSG Equipment.
This user manual contains the information about the application, the technical characteristics,
the operation principles of the tester MS800, as well as the methods of the evaluation of the
technical condition of the hybrid vehicle high-voltage batteries.
Before using the tester MS800 (hereinafter, “the tester”), study this user manual thoroughly. If
required, get the special training at the manufacturer facilities.
Due to the permanent improvements of the tester, the design, the supply slip and the software
can be modificated. All changes are not included in the present user manual. Pre-installed
software can be updated. Support can be terminated without prior notice in the future.
1. APPLICATION
Tester MS800 is designed for the diagnostics of high-voltage nickel-metal hydride (Ni-Mh) and
lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries of hybrid cars and electric vehicles. The tester allows:
• determine the capacity of the battery modules;
• prepare the battery for installation on the car balancing all modules by voltage;
• prepare the module for long-term storage by charging to a certain level.
The tester provides simultaneous check (balancing) up to 36 modules. The process of diagnostics
(balancing) of battery modules is automatic. The operation and the control of the diagnostics are
carried out on the touch-screen. The diagnostic result is stored in the tester memory, and then it
can be copied to USB flash memory.

4. TESTER DESCRIPTION
The tester consists of the following main elements (fig. 1):
Figure 1. Tester overall view
1– Diagnostic cable connection ports.
2– Module voltage indicator.
3– Touch screen – to display the diagnostic parameters of a diagnosed battery and tester function
control.
The tester monitors the temperature of each module, during the diagnostic process. For this
purpose, each diagnostic cable (fig. 2) has a temperature sensor. The tester stops charging any
module whose temperature has exceeded the previously set permissible value. This provides
additional diagnostic process security and reduces the probability of module failure.
