Unstable Battery Detected; Deep Scan Test; Battery Test Results - Midtronics EXP-1003 HD Instruction Manual

EXP-1003 HD
loads are off, doors are closed, and the ignition is in the off
position. The analyzer will automatically retest when it no
longer detects system noise. If the message reappears:
•
You may be testing too close to a noise source, such as
a charger or other high-current device. If so, move away
and retest.
•
If you are unable to find the source of the noise, fully
charge the battery and retest. If the message appears after
recharging, test the battery out of the vehicle.
•
Disconnect the battery cables and retest.

Unstable Battery Detected

A battery that is weak, or that has just been charged, may retain
enough electrical activity to be detected by the analyzer and will
adversely affect the test results. A fully charged battery should
stabilize quickly, after which the analyzer will automatically
retest. Weak batteries should be charged and retested. If the
battery is fully charged, check the clamp connections.

Deep Scan Test

In some cases the analyzer may need to further analyze a
deeply discharged battery to determine whether the battery
should be replaced or if it has a chance to be recovered. It then
briefly conducts a Deep Scan Test of the battery.
The tester may also ask you to enter the battery's six-digit
serial number, which is located on the battery case. After the
Deep Scan Test the tester displays the results.

Battery Test Results

The tester displays the complete results on multiple screens.
To view the code, press  or . The tester will generate a test
code for all REPLACE decisions.
To send the results to the IR printer, align the analyzer's IR
transmitter with the printer's receiver, and press PRINT. To
return to the Main Menu, press END.
NOTE: For REPLACE or BAD CELL decisions, enter the
battery serial number located on the battery case to
generate a test code for warranty purposes. When
finished, press NEXT to continue.

Recommended Action
Return the battery to service.
Fully charge the battery and return it to
service.
Fully charge the battery and retest. Failure
to fully charge the battery before retesting
may cause false readings. If CHARGE &
RETEST appears again, replace the battery.
May also mean a poor connection between
the battery and the vehicle.
This decision indicates a bad cell within the
battery. Replace the battery.
Risk of explosive gases.
Can cause death or
serious personal injury.
Never attempt to charge a
battery with a bad cell. The
battery must be replaced.
Data was inconclusive using the remote post.
Retest at the battery terminals.
The analyzer has found the data was
inconclusive. Retest using the side post
adapters
NOTE: If the tester displays 24 VOLT BATTERY after the
Automotive System Test, you are attempting to test
in-vehicle both batteries in a 24-volt system. Discon-
nect the batteries and test them individually.
