SAFETY 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 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 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 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 shortcircuiting.
• The device complies with European Directive.
• The certificate 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 C م (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 recommendations

OPERATION AND USE

1. Make sure that the area is well ventilated before performing a test.
2. Tester for 12 V batteries and 12 & 24 V charging systems (Only 12 volt for START & STOP batteries)
3. Before testing the battery, make sure that the ignition is switched off and that the accessories are not working. Close all 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 with a wire brush. The presence of oxidation between the tester terminals and the battery connectors or between the connectors of the battery and its terminals reduces the efficiency of the tester.
6. Ensure that 6 x 1.5V batteries are fitted in the battery compartment. If the batteries are low, the display shows «LOW ENERGY». Replace the batteries before starting the test.
7. Connect the negative (black) terminal to the negative terminal of the battery. Connect the positive terminal (red) to the positive terminal of the battery. To test a 24V system, test one battery at a time.
   The test procedure is identical to that of a 12V battery.

SYSTEM TESTING

1. Return to the main menu and select «SYSTEM TEST». The following screen appears:
   SYSTEM TEST
   x.xx V
2. Make sure all vehicle consumers are switched off (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.

   CHARGING CIRCUIT TEST

   Examples	Results displayed	Analysis
   High starting voltage when the test is performed with the engine at idle	ALT. VOLTS REDRES xx.xx V UP	Check that the connections are good. If everything is properly connected, replace the alternafor
   Normal starting voltage when the test is performed with the engine at idle	ALT. VOLTS REDRES 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	ALT. VOLTS REDRES xx.xx V LOW	The alternator does not provide enough power to the battery. Check the alternator belts, and make sure the alternator is running when the engine is running. 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 the test.

LOAD CIRCUIT TEST WITH CONSUMERS

1. 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.
2. Run the engine at 2500 rpm for 15 seconds.
3. Press «ENTER», the undulation of the charging system appears. One of the two results is displayed :
   

   Results found	Screen display	Analysis
   Normal undulation intensity	VOLTAGE REDR OK xx.xx V NORMAL OR VOLTAGE REDR DEF	The diodes are working in the alternator/starter
   High undulation intensity	TENSION REDR OK xx.xx V HIGH	One or more diodes are not working or are damaged. Make sure that the alternator support is properly positioned and that the timing belts are working properly. If so, replace the alternator.

4. Continue the test by pressing «ENTER». The tester now analyses the charging circuit with the consumers of the running vehicle.
