1.1. Personal PreCaUtions
9 ensure 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.
9 Wear safety eye protection and protective clothing. Avoid touching eyes while working near battery.
9 Have fresh water nearby in case battery acid contacts skin, clothing, or eyes.
9 Rinse immediately with 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.
9 Remove 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.
9 ensure that hands, clothing (especially belts) are clear of fan blades and other moving or hot parts of engine. Remove ties and contain
long hair.
8 Do not smoke or allow a spark or flame in the vicinity of the battery or engine.
1.2. general safety instrUCtions
9 Familiarise 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.
9 ensure that the tester is in good condition before use. If in any doubt Do not use the unit and contact a qualified electrician.
9 only use recommended attachments and parts. To use unapproved items may be dangerous and will invalidate your warranty.
9 Keep tools and other items away from the engine and ensure that you can see the battery and working parts of the engine clearly.
9 determine the system voltage before using the tester.
9 If the tester receives a sharp knock or blow the unit must be checked by a qualified service agent before using.
9 If the battery terminals are corroded or dirty: clean them before using the tester.
9 Keep children and unauthorised persons away from the work area.
8 Do 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.
8 Do 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.
8 Do not use the tester outdoors, or in damp, or wet locations and Do not use in the vicinity of flammable liquids or gases.
8 ensure there is effective ventilation to prevent a build-up of explosive gases.
8 Do not use the tester for a task for which it is not designed.
9 When 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. oPeration
warning! ensure that you read, understand and apply the safety and operational instructions before applying the tester clamps to
the battery. only when you are sure that you understand the procedures is it safe to proceed with the testing process.
4.1. PreParation
warning! ensure that the vehicle, or battery, is in a well ventilated area before starting to test.
4.1.1. Check battery casing for cracks or leakage. If damage is found Do not test and replace battery.
4.1.2. Clean battery terminals.
4.1.3. If possible, check electrolyte levels and top-up with distilled water as necessary.
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 4 x 1.5V 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
loaded and ready for printing.
4.2. ConneCting to Battery
4.2.1. Connect the positive (red) clip to the positive (+) terminal of the battery. ensure a good connection to the terminal.
4.2.2. Connect the negative (black) clip to the negative (-) battery terminal, again ensuring a good connection.
4.3. DisPlay
4.3.1. The initial screen display shows: (g.3)
4.3.2. Which includes the battery voltage.
