Frequently Asked Questions - YT-83114 Yato

How to change the menu language of the Yato YT-83114 tester?

In the main menu, select SYSTEM SETUP, then LANGUAGE and choose French. The tester is set to English by default.

What does the 'GOOD BATTERY' result displayed by the tester mean?

The result GOOD BATTERY indicates that the battery is in good condition and can be used normally. Other messages include GOOD RECHARGE (good to recharge), REPLACE (replace), BAD CELL (bad cell), and CHARGE-RETEST (unstable, recharge and retest).

How to test the alternator with the YT-83114?

In the menu, select Battery in Vehicle, then Charging test. Follow the on-screen instructions: 1) Turn off lights and A/C for 10 seconds, press ENTER. 2) Increase engine speed to 2500-3000 RPM for 10 seconds, press ENTER. 3) Turn on lights and A/C to max at idle for 10 seconds, press ENTER. The result NORMAL or NO OUTPUT will be displayed.

Can we test a battery disconnected from the vehicle?

Yes, the tester offers a dedicated function. In the main menu, select Out of Vehicle (battery disconnected), then choose the battery type and confirm. The test is performed in the same way as for a mounted battery.

What types of batteries are compatible with the YT-83114?

The tester supports lead-acid batteries of type Regular flooded (flooded), EFB (Enhanced Flooded Battery), AGM (Absorbed Glass Mat), and Gel. The nominal voltage must be 12 V.

What to do if the tester screen does not turn on when connecting?

Check that the clamps are properly connected: the red clamp on the positive terminal (+) and the black clamp on the negative terminal (-) of the battery. Ensure the battery contacts are clean and the battery delivers at least 8 V. If the problem persists, the battery may be too discharged.

How to maintain the Yato YT-83114 battery tester?

Clean the housing with a slightly damp cloth and wipe it dry. Never immerse it in water. The terminals must be clean; in case of corrosion, use a copper electrical contact cleaner. Store the tester in a dry, shaded place away from shocks.

Is the YT-83114 tester waterproof or water-resistant?

No, the device is not resistant to flooding. It is designed for indoor use only. Do not expose the tester to water, rain, or other liquids.

Can I test a 6 V battery with the Yato YT-83114?

No, the tester is designed for 12 V nominal batteries. The voltage measurement range is 8 to 30 V DC, but the test functions are optimized for 12 V systems. A 6 V battery would be out of specifications.

How to interpret the 'BAD CELL, REPLACE' message?

This result indicates that one or more internal cells of the battery are defective. The battery cannot be repaired and must be replaced immediately to ensure vehicle safety and performance.

This symbol indicates that waste electrical and electronic equipment (including batteries and storage cells) cannot be disposed of with other types of waste. Waste equipment should be collected and handed over separately to a collection point for recycling and recovery, in order to reduce the amount of waste and the use of natural resources. Uncontrolled release of hazardous components contained in electrical and electronic equipment may pose a risk to human health and have adverse effects for the environment. The household plays an important role in contributing to reuse and recovery, including recycling of waste equipment. For more information about the appropriate recycling methods, contact your local authority or retailer.

The electronic battery tester is a portable device that is easy to use starter battery and battery charging system tester with rated voltage of 12 V. The device is always ready for operation because the power supply is taken directly from the tested battery. The correct, reliable, and safe operation of the device depends on its proper use, therefore:

Read the entire instructions manual before the first use of the product and keep it for future reference.

The supplier shall not be held liable for any damage resulting from failure to observe the safety regulations and recommendations specified in this instructions manual. Use of the product for purposes other than those for which it was intended shall cause the loss of the user's rights to the guarantee and under warranty.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Keep your work environment safe. The workplace should be well lit. Make sure you have enough room to move freely in the work area. Keep your work environment free from obstacles, grease, oil, rubbish and other waste.

EN

The device is not resistant to flooding and is designed for indoor use. Do not expose the device to water, precipitation or other liquids.

Check the product's rating label for important information. If the label is missing or is illegible, ask the manufacturer for a replacement.

Avoid contact with all hot engine parts, otherwise you could get burned.

Avoid causing accidental fires or explosions. Do not smoke and do not keep open fire sources near fuel, engine and battery.

Working in the vicinity of lead-acid batteries can be dangerous as they produce potentially explosive gases. Read and follow the instructions manual supplied with the battery to minimise the risk.

Avoid contact with the electrolyte, which is a highly corrosive sulphuric acid that will cause burns in the event of contact with the body.

The place of battery testing must be well ventilated.

The warnings, precautions and instructions described above may not cover all possible conditions and situations which may occur. The operators must understand that common sense and caution are factors which cannot be built into the equipment, but they must provide them themselves.

PREPARING FOR OPERATION

Before starting work, check the documentation supplied with the battery or contact the battery manufacturer to get information about the following parameters that should be then entered into the tester during the test procedure.

Type of battery to be tested: lead-acid (so-called wet), VRLA or AGM.

CCA (Cold Cranking Amperes) value - cold cranking amperes.

Cranking amperes standard: EN – European standard, SAE – American standard, DIN – German standard, IEC – International Electrotechnical Commission standard, CA (MCA) – cranking amperes.

Check the polarity of battery terminals. A red cable usually connects the starter to the positive (+) pole of the battery and a black cable connects the car body to the negative (-) pole of the battery. If in doubt, refer to the documentation supplied with the car or battery, or contact the battery or car manufacturer.

Make sure the battery terminals are clean, free of patina and other contaminants. If necessary, clean them with a wire brush.

TEST PROCEDURE

The test procedure can be carried out for both the battery installed in the car and the removed battery.

Caution! When testing a battery installed in the car, turn the ignition off and make sure that all loads are disconnected. Close all car doors and boot lid.

Connect the red tester clamp marked with “+” with positive battery terminal. Connect the black tester clamp marked with “-” with negative battery terminal or element of the car body to which the negative battery terminal is connected if testing the battery installed in the car. The tester screen illuminates and displays the main menu. Use the up, down arrows to navigate through the device’s menus, the ENTER button to confirm or the return button to go back to the previous menu.
