Safety Precautions for Installation and Checking Operations
When the key is switched to ON, there is a possibility that the fan or belt
may suddenly begin moving and cause bodily injury. When doing any
work, make sure that the key is switched to OFF and when checking
operation make sure not to put your face or hands in a close position
which could cause bodily injury.
•Please securely fasten the product to a stable place
Make sure to install and fasten the unit to a safe place that will not
become entangled in a fan or belt.
•This product is for DC12V cars;
installation cannot be carried out on cars with other voltage
batteries.
•Do not allow water to come into contact with the unit.
The unit has been processed for water resistance but do not splash
with water when washing the car and so on.
CAUTION Improper use or disregard of these warnings may result in the injury or death of people.
Voltage Stabilizer
Our newly designed three-fold (compared to Blue Raizin) large capacity condenser
and our newly designed filter circuitry results in decreases in both circuitry noise
and high frequency impedance which results in a more stable supply of voltage to
the ignition coil and all electronic devices as well as improvements in power loss.
A World's First: View Battery Performance via Lowest Voltage Display
Displaying two types of voltage, both "Real" and "Lowest" Voltage (world first) at
engine start makes it easy to see battery life and loss in battery performance. This
also helps to protect against trouble caused by shortages in voltage to various
electronic devices.
•About Improved Performance......Installation of this product will lead to improvement in electrical aspects of your automobile but due to actual car and driving conditions
these improvements may be negligible or in some cases no change will occur.
•About Judging Battery Life......Depending on the characteristics of the battery itself even a small change in the lowest voltage reading may signal the end of a battery's life.
1.The unit assesses battery performance through changes in lowest voltage readings and when it has been judged to be reduced allows the user to take
necessary measures to improve performance (replacement, recharging, etc...) and thereby provide voltage stability to all electronic devices.
2.The condenser circuitry reduces electrical noise and provides a stable voltage supply to the ignition coil as well as all other electronic devices.

Connect the Cable
Remove the vinyl tape from the terminal of the battery.
Connect the minus cable (with blue cap) to the battery's minus terminal.
If the wiring has been completed correctly the voltage should appear and after ten seconds
automatically shut off.
Please make sure to check about connecting the and
cables. Mixing these up will cause damage to the product.
Due to characteristics of the product, upon
contact of the RAIZIN'S to the battery's
or upon the shorting of the flow of
current sparks may be emitted. This is not a defect.

ASSESSING BATTERY PERFORMANCE
HOW TO CHECK VOLTAGE
Judging Reduced Battery Performance (Lowest Voltage)
Judgments about reduced battery performance (life) can be made by checking the lowest voltage reading for a new battery at engine start and using that
reading for comparison. In order to do this, this unit measures and displays lowest voltage at engine start and thereby helps to prevent the following troubles
associated with reduced battery performance.
About Judging Reductions in Performance from Changes in Voltage
If the difference in lowest voltage measurements for a new battery falls
1V to 1.5V , the battery's performance can be deemed to be reduced and
we strongly suggest taking the battery to a repair shop for checking and
recharging.
When the engine is started, two types of voltage measurement (lowest voltage at engine start and real voltage) will be displayed for a
short time (about one minute) and then will automatically shut off.
If you wish to re-measure the lowest voltage at engine start please perform only after the display has automatically turned off.
Note that if you are using a remote control starter to start your engine, the display will turn off after about one minute
and cannot be viewed.
Note that this method can only provide a rough
guideline and battery life varies greatly depends on the
individual characteristics of batteries and automobiles.
Also note that even with properly working batteries, large
reductions (about 1V) in lowest voltage readings can occur
when outside temperatures are low (below 5 ) or starting
after having forgotten to turn off the lights.
Note that this measurement method can only provide a
rough guideline and that lowest voltage readings and battery
life varies greatly depending on the individual characteristics
of the battery being used.
By "new battery" we mean a battery that has not been used for more than six
months; if a battery has been used for more than six months a change of
0.5V to 0.8V should be viewed as a sign that performance has been
reduced and the battery should be checked.
Please have battery checked periodically (every
month) or if the following occurs:
.The engine seems not to start well
.The lights seem dark .The battery frequently dies out
Checking while Engine is Running (Real Voltage)
If voltage falls outside an acceptable range while the engine is running one of the following may be the reason and a check should be carried out.
The lowest voltage at engine start is measured and if a change (lower measurement) is detected the battery's performance and life will be
judged to have been reduced.
Possible Causes
Reduced electronic device output caused by unstable voltage supply.
Reduced electronic device output caused by increased noise.
Reduced output due to lack of battery charge.
Trouble
Poor mileage, reduced torque, poor starting, sound and reduced light brightness.
Reductions in mileage and torque as well as in sound quality due to increase in noise.
Troubles in starting engine and dead batteries.
If it is too high (15V or more)
1. The fan belt is too loose or is torn.
2. The alternator or battery does not work properly.
Deterioration in mileage, torque, starting, sound and light brightness.
