PREPARING TO TEST
OPERATION & USE
REPLACEMENT OF WIRE LEAD
NOTE: DO NOT detach the cables unless necessary to make sure
the pins are not rusted or corroded by the acid liquid.
English
PREPARING TO TEST：
1. Be sure area around battery is well ventilated while battery is
being tested.
2. Clean battery terminals. Be careful to keep corrosion from coming
in contact with eyes.
3. Inspect the battery for cracked or broken case or cover. If battery
is damaged, do not use tester.
4. If the battery is not sealed maintenance free, add distilled water in
each cell until battery acid reaches level specified by the manu
-facturer. This helps purge excessive gas from cells. Do not overfill.
5. If necessary to remove battery from vehicle to test, always remove
ground terminal from battery first. Make sure all accessories in the
vehicle are off to ensure you do not cause any arcing.

displayed along with the actual reading measured.
CRANKING VOLTS NORMAL
The system is showing normal draw. Press
«ENTER» to perform the charging system test.
CRANKING VOLTS LOW
The cranking voltage is below normal limits,
troubleshoot the starter with manufacturers

6. Press the «ENTER» key, one of the three results will be displayed
along with the actual reading measured.
LOW CHARGING VOLTS WHEN TEST AT IDLE
The alternator is not providing sufficient current to
the battery. Check the belts to ensure the alternator
is rotating with engine running. If the belts are
slipping or broken, replace the 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 condition, replace
the alternator.
CHARGING SYSTEM NORMAL WHEN TEST AT IDLE
The system is showing normal output from the
alternator. No problem is detected.
HIGH CHARGING VOLTS WHEN TEST AT IDLE
The voltage output from the alternator to the
battery exceeds the normal limits of a functioning
regulator. Check to ensure there is no loose
connection and the ground connection is normal.
If there is no connection issue, replace the regulator. Since most
alternators have the regulator built-in, this will require you to replace
the alternator. The normal high limit of a typical automotive regulator
is 14.7 volts +/- 0.05. Check manufacturer specifications for the
correct limit, as it will vary by vehicle type and manufacturer.
