INSTRUCTIONS FOR
DIGITAL BATTERY & ALTERNATOR TESTER
WITH PRINTER 12V
MODEL NO: BT2012.V2
Thank you for purchasing a Sealey product. Manufactured to a high standard, this product will, if used according to these
instructions, and properly maintained, give you years of trouble free performance.
IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY. NOTE THE SAFE OPERATIONAL REQUIREMENTS, WARNINGS & CAUTIONS. USE
THE PRODUCT CORRECTLY AND WITH CARE FOR THE PURPOSE FOR WHICH IT IS INTENDED. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY CAUSE DAMAGE AND/OR
PERSONAL INJURY AND WILL INVALIDATE THE WARRANTY. KEEP THESE INSTRUCTIONS SAFE FOR FUTURE USE.
1. SAFETY
1.1. PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS
9Ensure that there is another person within hearing range and close enough to come to your aid, should a problem arise when working near
a lead-acid battery.
9Wear safety eye protection and protective clothing. Avoid touching eyes while working near battery.
9Have fresh water and soap nearby in case battery acid contacts skin, clothing, or eyes.
9Wash 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.
9Remove personal metallic items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces and watches. A lead-acid battery can produce a short-circuit current
which is high enough to weld such items to the vehicle and cause severe burns.
9Ensure that hands, clothing (especially belts) are clear of fan blades and other moving or hot parts of engine. Remove ties and contain
long hair.
8DO NOT smoke or allow a spark or flame in the vicinity of the battery or engine.
1.2. GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
9Familiarise yourself with the application, limitations and potential hazards of the tester. Also refer to the vehicle manufacturer’s hand book.
IF IN ANY DOUBT CONSULT A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.
9Ensure that the tester is in good condition before use. If in any doubt DO NOT use the unit and contact a qualified electrician.
9Only use recommended attachments and parts. To use unapproved items may be dangerous and will invalidate your warranty.
9Keep tools and other items away from the engine and ensure that you can see the battery and working parts of the engine clearly.
9Determine the system voltage before using the tester.
9If the tester receives a sharp knock or blow the unit must be checked by a qualified service agent before using.
9If the battery terminals are corroded or dirty: clean them before using the tester.
9Keep children and unauthorised persons away from the work area.
8DO NOT dismantle the tester for any reason. The tester must only be checked by qualified service personnel.
WARNING! To prevent the risk of sparking, short circuit and possible explosion DO NOT drop metal tools in the battery area, or allow them
to touch the battery terminals.
8DO NOT cross-connect tester to battery. Ensure positive (RED) clamp is to positive terminal and negative (BLACK) clamp is to negative
terminal. If battery symbols cannot be distinguished: the negative terminal is the one directly connected to the vehicle bodywork.
8DO NOT use the tester outdoors, or in damp, or wet locations and DO NOT use in the vicinity of flammable liquids or gases.
8Ensure there is effective ventilation to prevent a build-up of explosive gases.
8DO NOT use the tester for a task for which it is not designed.
9When not in use, store the tester carefully in a safe, dry, childproof location.
2. INTRODUCTION
Fast and accurate diagnosis of battery and alternator faults with facility to print the results. Large LCD display shows charging and starting
system status and returns decision making information in seconds. Results need no interpretation and the tester will work on batteries with as
little as 1.5V of residual charge.

4.1.4. When testing on the vehicle, unless otherwise specified, tests are carried out with all electrical items switched off. Leaving any items
on (boot light, interior light, etc.) can result in expensive mis-diagnosis. If the vehicle was running prior to testing, turn on the
headlights for 30 seconds to remove surface charge. Switch off the lights, let the battery recover for 60 seconds before testing.
4.1.5. Confirm that the 9V battery (not supplied) is fitted correctly in the compartment in the rear of the tester (fig.1). The batteries
power the printer and enables storage of test data after test and disconnection. DO NOT operate the printer without the print paper
