NOTE
•
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.
About Improved Performance
About Judging Battery Life
Stabilize Voltage and Know when Battery Performance is Reduced !
......
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.
......
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.
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.

ASSESSING BATTERY PERFORMANCE
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.
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.
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.
Voltage(V)
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.
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.

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.

Trouble
The alternator is broken (Regulator)
Lowered performance of electronic devices or reduced battery life.
If it is too low (11.5V or less)

Trouble
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.
Measurement Method
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.
