BATTERY TEST PROCEDURE

When you first connect the MicroXL to the battery, it will function
as a voltmeter until you press the ENTER button to begin the battery test.
After you press ENTER, the Midtronics sign-on screen will appear for
3 seconds after which the analyzer will assist you in setting up your
battery test parameters. (Scroll to each parameter using the UP/DOWN
ARROW buttons and press ENTER to continue.)
1. Test type: Select IN-VEHICLE or OUT-OF-VEHICLE.
Test location: If the test is IN-VEHICLE, select BATTERY
POST or JUMP START POST.
POST TYPE: If the location is BATTERY POST, select TOP-
POST or SIDE POST.
2. Battery type: Select REGULAR lead-acid or AGM.
AGM type: If the battery is AGM, select SPIRAL-wound plates
or OTHER, such as flat-plate construction.
3. Battery rating system: Select a rating system to TEST BY: CCA, CA,
MCA, or DIN.
4. Battery rating: Select the rating (from 100 to 1200 or 2000 depend-
ing on the rating system).
5. Press ENTER to start the test.
Additional Test Parameters (if required)
Before or After Charge Decision:
For a more decisive result, the analyzer will ask if you are testing the
battery before or after charging. (If the vehicle has just been driven,
select BEFORE CHARGE.) It will resume the test after you make your
selection.
Temperature Compensation:
If the analyzer detects that the temperature of the battery may make a
difference in the result, it will ask you to select if the battery temperature
is above or below freezing. It will resume the test after you make your
selection.
If the analyzer displays warning messages or other instructions after you
press ENTER to start the test, refer to "Troubleshooting Test Problems."
