Keep leads free of oil. Clean with warm, soapy water.
Never insert an object into the fan vents. This can cause electrical
and/or mechanical damage. Never cover the fan vents.
Never attempt to open up or repair the tester. Repairs should only
be done by an authorized repair center. Note: Doing so could void
the warranty.
Always be sure the tester is off and the smart clamps are removed
from the battery before cleaning.
SMART CLAMPSTM
Both jaws of each
clamp must rmly
engage the battery
terminal. One copper
jaw connects to the
smaller gauge wire
that reads the voltage
and the other jaw
connects to the larger
current conducting
wire. Electrical
isolation between
jaws is necessary for
accurate readings.
For side terminal
battery connection, the
threaded stud connects to the smaller gauge wire that reads the
voltage, and the current pad ring connects to the larger conducting
wire. Damaged clamps or loose wires will affect the readings. Keep
clamps clean and in good repair.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
CHECK OFTEN FOR LOOSE JAWS
OR DAMAGED INTERNAL PLASTIC
SHOULDER INSULATORS
Use the side terminal feature on the clamp to connect
battery side terminals.

Carefully read all operating instructions before
using the XCPRO-80.
Wear eye protection when working around batteries.
The XCPRO-80 is equipped with a 9ft power cord.
Never use an extension cord that is more
than 50ft and it must not be smaller than 12
gauge. Make sure the extension cord and
receptacle are properly grounded.
Be sure each charge is completed before
removing clamps to prevent arcing and
potential explosion from battery gases. Never
remove load clamps while charging.
Keep sparks ames or cigarettes away from batteries.
Provide adequate ventilation to remove car exhaust.
In extremely cold temperatures, check for frozen electrolytic uid before
applying charge. Do not attempt to Charge a battery under 20
O
F. Allow the battery to warm to room temperature before
testing or charging.
Never connect clamps to more than one 6 volt, 8 volt or 12 volt battery
at a time. Connection to 24 volts will dangerously overload the circuitry.
Do not charge multiple batteries or 24 volt systems using the XCPRO-80.
Warning! Never attach the XCPRO-80 to a battery that is connected to
any other tester or charging unit. Damage may result.
Incorrect Application: Wrong size battery may have inadequate cold
cranking Amp rating for original vehicle specications.
Incorrect Installation: Loose battery hold-downs cause excessive
vibration, which can result in damage to the plates.
Improper Maintenance: Low electrolytic uid and corrosion on battery
connections, can greatly reduce battery life and affect battery performance.
Age of Battery: If the date code on the battery indicates it is fairly old, the
failure may be due to natural causes.
Overcharging: Overcharging caused by a high voltage regulator setting or
incorrect battery charging can cause excessive gassing, heat and water loss.
Undercharging: Undercharging caused by a faulty charging system or low voltage
regulator setting can cause lead sulfate to gradually build up and crystallize on the
plates greatly reducing the battery’s capacity and ability to be recharge.

Inspect Starting System Check starter, solenoid, and regulator for
loose connections, loose mounts, and frayed or cracked wires.
Important Note
A damaged battery must be replaced before proceeding.
Inspect Battery for
terminal corrosion, loose
or broken posts, cracks
in the case, loose holddowns, low electrolyte
level, moisture, and dirt
around the terminals.
VISUAL CHECK
Inspect Belts for cracks, glazed
surface and fraying. Tighten loose
belts.
INSPECTION
Valid automotive electrical system testing depends on
all the components being in good operating condition.
In addition, the battery MUST have sufcient charge for
testing. Carefully perform the following before attempting
any electrical diagnosis.

WHAT TO EXPECT
…from your XCPRO-80 Charger
During the charge sequence the XCPRO-80 will indicate the estimated time
remaining to complete the charge. Actual charge time may vary depending on
ability of the battery to accept a charge. The charge time may be extended if the
charger senses the battery temperature is becoming to warm by reducing the
charge current to protect the battery. The LCD screen makes it possible to view
the XCPRO-80 charging status.
The LCD provides easy menu instructions and charge results for close-up
operation.
The XCPRO-80 will automatically charge a 6V, 8V or 12V battery in a Fast
Charge mode or Full Charge mode.
Fast Charge Mode: Quickly charges the battery up to a level that it can be put
back into service, and the remaining charge will be put back into the battery by
the vehicles charging system.
Full Charge Mode: Provides a full charge to the battery.
AUTOMATED CONDITIONS
The LED indicators will show the status during a fully automated Charge
sequence. This makes it possible to view the status and nal results at a distance.
Red "CHARGING" in progress light
indicates battery is being charged.

Use the side terminal
feature on the clamp
to connect battery side
terminals.
NOTE: The charger checks for the
temperature probe connection
on each power up. If a probe
is not detected, the charger will
allow you to enter the
approximate temperature of the
battery manually.
HOOK UP
2. Connect to only one 6-volt, 8-volt, or 12-volt battery at a time.
Red = (+) Positive and Black = (-) Negative
Make sure the terminals are clean and the
connection is secure. If the "Check Battery
Connections" remains the connections
are not secure. If you are sure of a solid
connection replace the battery.
1. Turn on the AC switch. The LCD will indicate "XCPRO-80" if the unit
is properly plugged into an AC outlet. For your safety, make sure
the AC receptacle is properly grounded.
NOTE: The XCPRO-80 is equipped with a 9ft power cord. Never use an
extension cord smaller than 12 gauge or longer than 50ft. Make sure the
extension cord and receptacle are properly grounded.
NOTE: Due to gases and usual corrosion around the positive terminal it is important
to connect the positive (+) red clamp rst. Make sure the connection is
certain.Then connect the negative (-) black clamp.
4. If the XCPRO-80 displays one of the following messages check your connections.
3. Connect the supplied temperature probe to the temperature probe port on the left
side of the charger with the power switch in the off position. Install the temperature
probe in the supplied bracket as shown below and place the temperature probe so
that it points at side center approximately 2 to 4 inches from the battery. The
temperature probe will monitor the battery temperature during the charge. If the
battery temperature starts to rise quickly, the charger will automatically decrease the
charge current to protect the battery.
