Frequently Asked Questions - PBT 600 Toolit

What type of battery can the PBT 600 test?

The tester is designed for 12V lead-acid batteries of flooded, AGM, gel, etc. types. It supports several standards such as EN, CCA, BCI, CA, MCA, JIS, DIN, IEC, SAE, GB.

How to replace the internal battery of the tester?

Remove the protective cover, open the battery compartment, use a screwdriver to pry out the old 9V battery, then insert a new alkaline 9V battery respecting polarity.

What to do if the screen does not turn on?

Check that the clamps are correctly connected to the battery. If the battery voltage is below 1.0 V, fully charge it before testing. Ensure the internal 9V battery is in good condition.

How to interpret the result 'REPLACE'?

The SOH (state of health) is below 50% and the battery is near end of life. It is recommended to replace the battery. If the test is done inside the vehicle, retest outside to confirm.

How to perform a starter test?

After the battery test, keep the clamps connected and start the engine. The test starts automatically and displays the starting voltage. If it is below 9.6V, the battery must be replaced.

Can the tester work on 24V batteries?

Yes, for a 24V battery (two 12V in series), you must separate the batteries and test each 12V individually following the standard 12V procedure.

How to replace the printer paper?

Open the transparent cover, place a new roll of thermal paper, pull out a small length, and close the cover.

What to do in case of reverse polarity?

An internal fuse will blow to protect the device. Damage due to reversal is not covered by warranty. Replace the fuse and reconnect the clamps correctly (red to positive, black to negative).

What are the important safety warnings?

Wear safety glasses, avoid flames and sparks near the battery, ensure good ventilation, and do not disassemble the device. The tester must not be used if cables are damaged.

How to change the menu language?

In the main menu, select 'Choose language' (option 8), use the arrows to scroll through languages and press OK to confirm.

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 first use and keep it handy for future reference.

Risk of explosion and fire!A battery being charged can emit explosive gas.

The battery tester should only be connected to batteries with a rated output voltage of 12V.

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 fire.

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 flames and sparks. Do not smoke.

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

The device complies with European Directive.The certificate of compliance is available on our website.

OPERATION AND USE

1- Ensure that the area is well ventilated before performing a test.
2- Tester for 12 V batteries and systems for 12 & 24 V charging (Only 12 volt for START & STOP batteries)
3- Before running a test on the battery, make sure the ignition is off, the accessories are also off.
Close all the doors and the boot.
4- Recommended operating temperature: From 0°C (32°F) to 50°C (122°F)
5- Make sure the battery terminals 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 connectors and the battery terminals reduces the effectiveness of the tester.
6- Make sure that there is a 9 V Alkaline battery in the battery compartment (see diagram below).
