Sealey VS207.V2 User manual

DANGER! - BE AWARE, LEAD-ACID BATTERIES GENERATE
EXPLOSIVE GASES DURING NORMAL BATTERY OPERATION.
FOR THIS REASON, IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO READ AND
FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY, EACH TIME YOU
USE THIS PIECE OF EQUIPMENT.
Follow these instructions and those published by the battery
manufacturer and the maker of any equipment you intend to use in
the vicinity of the battery. Remember to review warning marks on all
products and on engines. ,
Observe standard workshop safety procedures when using the
Memory Master.
Ensure there is another person within hearing range, or
close enough to come to your aid when working near, or with,
lead-acid batteries.
Wear safety eye protection and protective clothing. Avoid
touching eyes while working with or near a battery.
Have fresh water and soap nearby in case battery acid contacts
skin, clothing or eyes.
Wash immediately with soap and water if battery acid contacts
skin or clothing. If acid enters eye, flush eye immediately with
cool, clean running water for at least 15 minutes and seek
immediate medical attention.
Remove personal metallic items such as rings, bracelets,
necklaces and watches. A lead-acid battery can produce a
short-circuit current high enough to weld a ring or the like to
metal, which may cause severe burns.
Ensure hands, clothing (especially belts) are clear of fan blades
and other moving or hot parts of engine, remove tie and contain
long hair.
Keep the work area clean and uncluttered and ensure there is
adequate lighting. Keep tools and other items away from the
engine and ensure you can see the battery and working parts of
engine clearly.
Maintain correct balance and footing. Ensure the floor is not
slippery and wear non-slip shoes.
Keep children and unauthorised persons away from the working
area.
WARNING! DO NOT use tester where there are flammable
gases or liquids (especially petrol and diesel).
WARNING! DO NOT use tester on any vehicles other than those
with 12 Volt DC systems.
DO NOT smoke or allow a spark or flame in the vicinity of battery or
engine.
DO NOT dis-assemble tester. The tester must be checked by
qualified service personnel only.
DO NOT get tester wet or use in damp or wet locations or areas
where there is condensation.
DO NOT use the tester for any purpose other than that for which
it is designed.
DO NOT pull the cables or clamps from the battery terminals.
DO NOT operate the tester if damaged.
When not in use store tester in a safe, dry, childproof location.

1. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
2. INTRODUCTION
Ingenious product combines two useful functions. Memory Master
attaches to a 12Volt slave battery and provides power via the
vehicle's accessory/cigarette lighter socket to the on-board electronics
whilst the vehicle’s own battery is disconnected. The Memory Master
also provides a quick check of the battery’s condition with a digital
voltage display. This device saves valuable time spent re-programming
lost codes. Supplied with 1.33mtr cable and crocodile clips.

VS207.V2 Issue No: 4 - 31/03/11
Original Language Version
3.1. MAINTAINING MEMORY
3.1.1. Ensure all vehicle electrical systems are switched off.
3.1.2. Use the Memory Master with both cables attached and a
12V (slave) lead-acid battery.
3.1.3. Connect the cable with the battery clamps into the socket in
the side of the Memory Master and then connect the
battery clamps to the slave battery ensuring that the red,
positive clamp is attached to the positive (+) battery post
and the black, negative clamp is attached to the negative
(-) battery post. If correctly connected the LED indicators
on the Memory Master will show green. If incorrectly
attached to the battery the indicators will show red.
3.1.4. If OK, turn the ignition switch on, but do not start engine.
3.1.5. Connect the cable's plug into the socket in the top end of the
Memory Master. Depress and hold red button on Memory
Master and plug the male plug into the vehicle's
accessory/lighter socket. If either of the indicators shows red
the Memory Master cannot be used on the vehicle -
disconnect it. If neither indicator shows red then release the
button - indicators will show green, indicating a good
connection.
3.1.6. The Memory Master will now support electronic system
memories and the vehicle battery may be removed.
Warning! The terminal of the positive battery cable will
remain ‘LIVE’ and must be prevented from coming into
contact with any metalwork. Insulate immediately by
placing in a heavy duty plastic bag.
3.1.7. When any work on the vehicle has been completed, replace/
reconnect vehicle battery and then switch off ignition.
3.1.8. Depress and hold the red button on the Memory Master
and remove plug from the vehicle's accessory/lighter
socket. Release button and disconnect Memory Master from
slave battery.
Note: The Memory Master has a compartment which will take a 9V
PP3 battery. This battery can be used to power the memory
maintenance function, but only if there will be no electrical
drain other than memory support. Since courtesy lamps,
under bonnet lamps, instrument lamps etc. are likely to be
illuminated it is recommended that a slave battery (as above)
is used. When a 9V battery is used the unit must be turned
‘On’ and ‘Off’ with the switch on the left hand side. See
fig.1.
Warning: As many vehicle 'cigarette lighter' sockets are now
rated as 'accessory only' sockets, they are protected by a
much lower rated fuse. This tool, when used through such a
socket, should only be used for either the memory safe or
alternator testing functions.
In these modes, use of any of the vehicle's accessories -
such as the hi-fi unit, air conditioning, fan, demister etc.
could cause the fuse to blow, thereby losing the power to the
vehicle's electrical systems. Ensure that these are not
operated, or already turned on, before turning on the ignition
switch.
3.2. BATTERY TESTING
3.2.1. Use Memory Master and cable with male cigarette lighter
plug.
3.2.2. Connect cable co-axial plug into socket in the top end of the
Memory Master.
3.2.3. Depress and hold red button on Memory Master and
push the male plug into the vehicle accessory / lighter
socket. Release red button.
3.2.4. Turn ignition switch on but do not start engine. Switch on
headlights and after one minute read voltage as shown on
the Memory Master LED display. Compare with figures
below.
Less than 11.5V = Low charge
11.5 to 12.0V = Partial charge
Over 12.0V = High charge
3.3. ALTERNATOR TESTING
3.3.1. Install Memory Master as for battery testing.
3.3.2. Start engine and let it run for at least 15 minutes.
3.3.3. With the engine at idle speed read the voltage shown on the
LED display. Compare with figures below.
Less than 13.0V = Output voltage too low
13.0 to 14.4V = Normal
Over 14.4V = Output voltage too high
Note: Alternatively, for this and the battery test, the Memory Master
may be connected directly to the battery terminals using the
clamp cable plugged into the side of the Memory Master. In
this case the ignition does not have to be turned on for the
battery test unless required to enable the headlights.
