4. OPERATION
WARNING! Ensure that you read, understand and apply the safety and operational instructions before connecting to the
battery. Only when you are sure that you understand the procedures is it safe to proceed with the testing process.
3.1.
Preparation
WARNING! Ensure that the vehicle, or battery, is in a well ventilated area before starting to test.
3.1.1.
Check battery casing for cracks or leakage. If damage is found DO NOT test and replace battery.
3.1.2.
Clean battery terminals.
3.1.3.
If possible, check electrolyte levels and top-up with distilled water as necessary.
3.1.4.
Unless otherwise specified, tests are carried out with all electrical items switched off. Leaving any items on (boot light, interior light,
etc.) can result in expensive misdiagnosis.
3.1.5.
Confirm that the 9V alkaline battery (supplied) is correctly fitted in the compartment in the rear of the tester. When the 9V battery
becomes discharged the display will show IBTL (Internal Battery Low). When this happens install a new battery.
3.2.
Battery test (12V only)
3.2.1.
Connect the red clamp to the positive (+) battery terminal and the black clamp to the negative (-) terminal. The display will show the
battery voltage. If the connections are reversed the Check Clamp LED will illuminate.
NOTE:
If HI / --- are displayed or the screen flickers, please refer to troubleshooting.
3.2.2.
Press the ENTER button.
3.2.3.
Press buttons to select the battery type SLI or SEAL:
SLI:
Standard SLI flooded batteries.
SEAL:
VRLA/GEL/AGM etc. sealed/MF batteries.
3.2.4
Press enter for the next step.
3.2.5
Press key to select the battery rating: SAE, DIN, IEC, En or CA (MCA).
3.2.6
Press enter for the next step.
3.2.7
Press key to input the battery capacity of CCA or CA(MCA) SAE.
110-670 CCA DIN, 130-790 CCA IEC, 185-1125 CCA EN, 240-1440 CCA CA(MCA), 200-1200 CCA SAE Press ENTER to begin test.
3.2.8
Test the battery within 1 second.
3.2.9
If CHA- is displayed (is battery charged?) press ENTER and select key to choose YES or NO, then press ENTER for the next step.
(BT2101 will determine the tested battery status and if acceptable will not show step 3.2.9).
3.2.10.
When the test is complete the display will show the actual voltage, then the actual CCA and then one of the following messages:
PASS . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Battery OK and ready for use. 'Pass' LED will be illuminated.
PASS & CHAR. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .Battery OK but needs recharging. 'Pass' and 'Recharge' LEDs will be illuminated.
CHAR & TEST . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Recharge battery and then retest. 'Recharge' LED will be illuminated.
FAIL . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Battery will not hold charge - replace. 'Fail' LED will be illuminated.
BAD CELL . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .Battery has faulty cell(s) - replace. 'Fail' LED will be illuminated.
ERR. (LOAD ERROR) The tested battery is bigger than 1200CCA or 120AH. Or the clamps are not connected properly. Please
fully charge the battery and retest after excluding both previous reasons. If the reading is the same, the battery should be replaced
immediately
3.2.11
Press ENTER button to return to start of test sequence or remove the clamps from the battery if no further tests required.
5. TROUBLESHOOTING
If the screen shows 'HI':
Voltage of the tested battery is over 15.00V & too high for 12V battery. BT2101 won't work under this situation. Please re-check if the
tested battery is 12Volts.
If the screen shows blank:
Voltage of the tested battery is under 1.5 Volts. BT2101 won't work under this situation. Please recharge the battery & retest. If reading is
the same, the battery should be replaced immediately.
The clamps are connected to incorrect polarity. Please check & re-connect (red clamp to the positive (+) battery terminal and the
black clamp to the negative (-) terminal).
The screen flickers or shows ---- :
The voltage is unstable. A battery that has just been completely charged or other factors can cause the voltage to be unstable, the LED
display shows "-----". Please wait for 15-30 minutes to let the voltage stabilize and retest the battery.
