Guide to Using this Manual Safety Precautions and

Pictograms

All the pictograms attached to or
embossed on the machine are shown
and explained in this manual.

Symbols in Text

Many operating and safety instructions
are supported by illustrations.

The individual steps or procedures
described in the manual may be marked
in different ways:

N A bullet marks a step or procedure.
A description of a step or procedure that

refers directly to an illustration may
contain item numbers that appear in the
illustration. Example:

N Loosen the screw (1).
N Lever (2) ...

In addition to the operating instructions,
this manual may contain paragraphs
that require your special attention. Such
paragraphs are marked with the
symbols and signal words described
below:

DANGER

Indicates an imminent risk of severe or
fatal injury.

NOTICE

Indicates a risk of property damage,
including damage to the machine or its
individual components.

Engineering Improvements

STIHL’s philosophy is to continually
improve all of its products. As a result,
engineering changes and improvements
are made from time to time. Therefore,
some changes, modifications and
improvements may not be covered in
this manual. If the operating
characteristics or the appearance of
your machine differs from those
described in this manual, please contact
your STIHL dealer for assistance.

Working Techniques

Because the battery ana­lyzer is powered by
electricity, special safety
precautions must be
observed to reduce the
risk of personal injury.

It is important that you
read, fully understand
and observe the following
safety precautions and
warnings. Read the
instruction manual and
the safety precautions
periodically. Careless or
improper use may cause
serious or fatal injury.

WARNING

Do not lend or rent the unit without the
instruction manual. Be sure that anyone
using it understands the information
contained in this manual.

WARNING

Minors should never be allowed to use
an engine analyzer device.

The user is responsible for avoiding
injury to third parties or damage to their
property.

WARNING

Indicates a hazardous situation which, if
not avoided, could result in severe or
fatal injury.

2

WARNING

Do not use it for other purposes because
of the increased risk of personal injury
and damage to the unit. Never attempt

ADG 1

English

to modify the unit in any way since this
may result in accidents or damage to the
unit.

WARNING

Before using your battery analyzer, read
and fully understand all safety
precautions and instructions for the
STIHL AP battery.

Use only the original STIHL battery
analyzer.

Use only for analyzing geomretically
matching STIHL type AP batteries with a
maximum capacity of 10 Ah and a
maximum voltage of 42 V.

Do not test defective, leaking or
deformed batteries with the STIHL
battery analyzer.

Connect the unit only to an easily
accessible wall outlet with the voltage
and frequency specified on the rating
plate.

WARNING

To reduce the risk of personal injury,
never use an analyzer with damaged
housing, damaged power cord or
damaged plug. Do not operate the
analyzer if it has received a sharp blow,
been dropped or otherwise damaged in
any way.

Do not open or dissassemble analyzer –
there are no user serviceable parts
inside.

Store analyzer out of the reach of
children.

Protect from rain and
dampness. Keep dry.

Use and store only
indoors in dry rooms.

Operate analyzer at ambient
temperatures between 41 °F (5 °C) and
104 °F (40 °C).

Never bridge the contacts of the battery
analyzer with metallic objects (e.g. nails,
coins, jewelry) – short circuit. The unit
may be damaged by a short circuit.

In the event of smoke or fire in the unit,
disconnect it from the wall outlet
immediately.

WARNING

To reduce the risk of electric shock or
short circuit, do not insert any objects in
the unit's cooling slots.

WARNING

Do not operate in a hazardous location,
i.e. in a location where there are
combustible liquids (fumes), vapors or
dusts. Analyzers can produce sparks,
which may ignite the dust or vapors –
risk of explosion.

Check the analyzer's
power cord and plug reg­ularly for damage. If the
power cord or plug is
damaged, immediately
disconnect the plug from
the wall outlet to avoid
the risk of electric shock.

Never jerk the power cord to disconnect
it from the wall outlet. To unplug, grasp
the plug, not the cord. Have a damaged
power cord repaired by an experienced
electrician.

Do not use the power cord for any other
purpose, e.g. for carrying or hanging up
the unit.

Never use power cords that do not
comply with regulations.

Make sure the power cord is located
and/or marked so that it will not be
stepped on, tripped over, come in
contact with sharp edges or moving
parts or otherwise subjected to damage
or stress.

An extension cord should not be used
unless absolutely necessary. If an
extension cord must be used, plug the
analyzer into a properly wired 16 gauge
(AWG 16) or heavier gauge extension
cord with blades that are the same
number, size and shapes as the blades
on the analyzer.

To reduce the risk of electric shock:
– Always connect the unit to a

properly installed wall outlet.

– Make sure the insulation of the

power cord and plug is in good
condition.

Unplug the power cord from the outlet
when unit is not in use.

Never store the battery in the analyzer.

Connecting Analyzer to
Power Supply

Mains voltage and operating voltage
must be the same.

N Insert the mains plug (1) in the wall

outlet (2).

The following information is displayed
(shown with gray background):

Battery analyzer
ADG 1

A self test is performed after the unit is
connected to the power supply. During
this process the light emitting diode (3)
on the unit lights up green for about 1
second, then red and goes off again.

Selecting Language

N Connect the unit to the power

supply – mains voltage and
operating voltage of the unit must be
the same – see "Connecting Unit to
Power Supply".

N Wai t fo r un it to run self tes t – th ere is

no need to insert a battery in the unit
to select a language.

N Press the button on the unit – see

"Main Parts" – for about 3 seconds
to activate language selection.

N Press the button (about 1 second) to

select the required language.

N To confirm the language selected,

press the button on the unit again
for about 3 seconds.

The language can be changed at any
time.

Updating Analyzer Testing the Battery

The analyzer must be updated to cover
the latest cordless power tools or new
batteries and additional diagnostic
functions. The update can be performed
as described below.

Direct update with diagnostic software
and internet access

Computer with diagnostic software has
access to internet – see "Diagnostic
Software":

N Connect analyzer to the computer

with the USB cable.

In the menu, click on button "Check for
updates... ". The diagnostic software
checks whether an update is available. If
yes, the update is performed
automatically.

Indirect update (without computer)

Data for updating the analyzer is
supplied by the subsidiary.

N Connect the unit to the power

supply – see "Connecting to Power
Supply".

Operate the unit only in enclosed and
dry rooms at ambient temperatures
between 41°F (5°C) and 104°F (40°C).

N Push the battery (1) into the unit (2)

until you feel noticeable resistance –
then push it as far as stop.

The battery and analyzer communicate
with each other. The analyzer can only
check the battery if this data exchange
functions. For this reason the battery
analyzer may only be used with
approved STIHL batteries. This
exchange of data may take several
minutes.

Identification of the battery is not
possible if data exchange between the
battery and analyzer fails.

Battery fault Code: F 1
Battery not recognized

N Remove battery and insert it again.
If the same message appears again, the

battery is faulty and must be replaced.
