Alternator Check - Smartech WBC-200 Operator's Manual

3. Cool Down - After cranking, the charger enters a mandatory 240
seconds cool down state (Pressing any button does NOT work). The
digital display indicates the remaining cool down time in seconds. It
starts at 240 and counts down to 0. After 4 minutes, the digital display
will change from displaying the countdown to displaying RDY.
NOTE: When waiting for cranking or after cooling down, if battery voltage
is lower than 14.5V (for a 12V battery), charger will provide maximum 5A to
charge the battery. When battery voltage reaches to 14.5V (whether STD or
AGM or GEL battery type), the output current reduces to 0 and CHARGED/
MAINTAINING LED is lit.
VOLTAGE TESTER AND CHARGER
When first turned on, the unit operates only as a tester, not as a charger.
Selecting a charge rate activates the battery charger and deactivates the
tester. To change the battery charger back to a tester, press the RATE SE-
LECTION/ENGINE START button until OFF is displayed, and press the DIS-
PLAY button and let the VOLTAGE LED illuminate to show battery voltage.
NOTE: The battery tester is only designed to test batteries. Testing a device
with a rapidly changing voltage could yield unexpected or inaccurate results.
