1. INTRODUCTION
The TCT -1000 Battery Capacity Analyzer has been designed to perform automatic
capacity testing of 12 and 24 Volt lead-acid batteries. This unit is capable of accurately
measuring the capacity of a fully charged battery with a rating between 10 and 59 amp-
hours. It is self-contained and easy to operate.
The load tester will display, in percentage, the conformance to the battery's one hour
rating.
2. SCOPE
This document provides instructions on how to calibrate and operate the TCT-1000
Battery Load Tester. The calibration instruction has been broken down into the following
categories:
• Calibrate Cutoff at 20.0 Volts
• Calibrate Cutoff at 10.0 Volts
• Calibrate Frequency
• Calibrate 24 Volt 10 Amp Setting
• Calibrate 24 Volt 50 Amp Setting
• Calibrate 12 Volt 10 Amp Setting
• Calibrate 12 Volt 50 Amp Setting
3. OPERATION PROCEDURE
3.1. Set Up
3.1.1. Before starting the capacity test, the battery should be fully charged per
manufacturer's instructions.
3.1.2. The load tester must be located in an atmosphere that is free of combustible
material and gasses.
3.1.3. The POWER switch – see picture below, must be in the "OFF" position.
3.2. Operation
3.2.1. Connect the RED cable to the POSITIVE terminal and the BLACK cable to the
