Notice originaleSAFETY INSTRUCTIONS This manual includes guidelines on the operation of your device and the precautions to follow for your own safety. Ensure it is read carefully before rst use and keep it handy for future reference. Risk of explosion and re! A battery being charged can emit explosive gas. The battery tester should only be connected to batteries with a rated output voltage of 6 V, 12 V and 24 V . CAUTION: Reverse polarity will cause the fuse to blow and could cause permanent damage. Damage due to reverse polarity is not covered by our warranty. CAUTION: If the car’s battery is disconnected, some management systems may be disabled. Consult your vehicle manual for more information on installation. Do not use the battery tester if the cord or terminals are damaged. Do not use the battery tester if it has received a severe shock or has been damaged in any way. Do not disassemble the device. Incorrect reassembly may result in a risk of electric shock or re. Acid projection hazard!

• Wear appropriate safety glasses and clothing.

• If your eyes or skin come into contact with battery acid, rinse the affected part of the body with plenty of water and seek immediate medical assistance.

• Avoid ames and sparks. Do not smoke.

• Protect the electrical contacts of the battery against short- circuiting.

• The device complies with European Directive.

• The certicate of compliance is available on our website.

• EAC conformity mark (Eurasian Economic Commission)

• Material conforms to UK requirements. The UK Declaration of Conformity is available on our website (see cover page).

• Device compliant with Moroccan standards.

• The Cم (CMIM) declaration of conformity is available on our website.

• This product should be disposed of at an appropriate recycling facility. Do not dispose of in domestic waste.

• Recyclable product that falls within waste sorting recommen- dations

1- Ensure that the area is well ventilated before performing a test.

2- Tester for 6 and 12 V batteries and test of the 12/24 V battery charging system (only 12 V on the START & STOP

3- Before performing a test on the battery, make sure that the ignition and the consumers are switched o. Close all the

4- Make sure that the battery connections are clean. If necessary, clean them using a wire brush.

Any presence of oxidation between the tester terminals and the battery connectors or between the battery connec- tors and the battery terminals reduces the eectiveness of the tester.

5- Check that the tester has 6 x 1.5V batteries in the compartment.

6- Connect the negative plug (black) to the negative terminal of the battery. Connect the positive plug (red) to the po-

sitive terminal of the battery. DEVICE SETTINGS Set the language:

2. Select the type of battery using the arrows then click on the down arrow to access the other criteria.

3. Choose the standard written on the battery and validate (possible standards: CCA, BCI, CA, MCA, DIN, IEC, EN,

4. Enter the start current indicated on the battery (eg 830SAE) and conrm by pressing «ENTER».

Translation of the original instructions5. In each case, to display the battery health status (SOH) and charge status (SOC), press to scroll through the results.

2. Make sure all vehicle consumers are switched o (lights, air conditioning, radio etc.).

3. Start the engine. One of these three results appears :

Examples Screen display Analysis Voltage below 9.6 V START VOLTS x.xxx V LOW The starting voltage is not correct. The battery must be replaced. Voltage above 9.6 V START VOLTS x.xxx V NORMAL The starting voltage is normal. No undulation START VOLTS NO UNDULATION The starting voltage is not detected. Repeat the test.

1. If the start voltage is normal, press «ENTER» to continue the test.

2. Keep the engine running Check that all the accessories of the vehicle are o then validate.

3. One of the 3 results is displayed :

• Result of the start voltage test Examples Results displayed Analysis High starting voltage when the test is performed with the engine at idle

xx.xx V UP Check that the connections are good. If every- thing is properly connected, replace the regulator. Normal starting voltage when the test is performed with the engine at idle

xx.xx V NORMAL No problem detected. Normal operation of the alternator. Low starting voltage when the test is performed with the engine at idle

xx.xx V LOW The alternator does not provide enough power to the battery. Check the belts, and ensure that the alternator is running when the engine is on. If the belts slip or are broken, replace them and re-test. Check the connection between the alternator and the battery. If the connection is bad, clean or replace the cable and re-test. If the alternator belts and connection are in good condition, replace the alternator.

4. Press «ENTER» to continue charging circuit test with accessories.

5. The tester asks «SWITCH CONSUMERS ON AND PRESS ENTER». Turn on the heater to maximum (heat), high and

rear headlights. Do not switch on cyclic loads such as air conditioning or windshield wipers.

6. Run the engine at 2500 rpm for 15 seconds.

7. Press «ENTER», the ripple intensity of the load cell appears. One of the two results is displayed :

Translation of the original instructionsResults found Screen display Analysis Normal undulation intensity

The diodes are working in the alterna- tor/starter High undulation intensity

xx.xx V HIGH One or more diodes do not do not work or are damaged. Make sure that the alternator support is properly positioned and that the timing belts are working properly. If so, re- place the alternator.

8. Continue the test by pressing «ENTER». The tester now analyses the starting voltage with the accessories

of the vehicle running.

• Result of the load system test with consumables running Examples Results displayed Analysis High starting voltage when the test is performed with the accessories running VOLTAGE ALTERNA xx.xx V HIGH The alternator output voltage is abnormally high. Check that there are no connection problems. If not, replace the alternator. Normal starting voltage when the test is performed with the accessories running VOLTAGE ALTERNA xx.xx V NORMAL The alternator output voltage is normal. No problem detected. Low starting voltage when the test is performed with the accesso- ries running VOLTAGE ALTERNA xx.xx V LOW The alternator does not provide enough current for charging the electrical system and the battery. Check the belts, and ensure that the alternator is running when the engine is on. If the belts slip or are broken, replace them and re-test. Check the connection between the alternator and the battery. If the connection is bad, clean or replace the cable and re-test. If the belts and connection are in good condition, replace the alternator. MAINTENANCE Examples Analysis Display switched o Check that the device is connected to the battery. The battery voltage is not high enough to perform the test (<1.0 V). Fully recharge the battery and try again. Insucient internal battery Replace the batteries in the tester.
