CAUTIONS Safety Before using the instrument, please read this manual careful- precautions ly for proper operation. The tester is suitable for both 12V and 24V vehicle batteries. The tester is suitable for operation at voltages ranging from 9V to 35V direct current (DC). If the battery is just fully charged, the voltage will be slightly higherthan normal.
PRODUCT INTRODUCTION Overview This is an automotive battery tester with real time temperature monitoring, which is able to determine the exact degree of influence of temperature on the battery performance. The instrument adopts advanced conductivity testing technology, which can easily, quickly and accurately test the battery perfor- mance of cranking ability, cranking load, maximum load and charging system of the car battery.

OPERATIONS INSTRUCTION Function ● The tester is powered only by the vehicle battery. Clamp the instructions red and black clips of the tester to the positive (+) and negative (-) terminals of the battery safely and securely respectively. It is recommended to clip the red clamp first, then the black clamp, until the screen shows the following picture, the tester is in operation.
Battery The tester will test the cranking capacity of the batteries and will capacity determine the condition of the batteries based on the rated crank- ing capacity marked on each battery. ● Please make sure the engine and all electrical equipment on the vehicle is shut down before testing.

● According to the rated cranking current value marked on the battery body, press the <▲> <▼> key to adjust the standard value of “CCA RATED”, and press the <OK> key to enter the test. ● When the test is complete, the tester screen will display the following test results, like this.
Life span Test result Note Battery’s in good condition. Good >80% Average Battery’s condition is acceptable. >60% Battery life is approaching and Alert >45% be careful. The battery life has expired, Replace >45% please replace. Cranking test The tester will measure the voltage and discharge speed during the cranking process to determine the starting condition of the car.
Test results are automatically saved for review. At this time, ● you can also press <OK> to enter the “Print Report” interface to print the test results or press <Return> directly to the “Main Menu” interface. ● If the minimum voltage reading is greater than 9.6V (greater than 16V relative to a 24V system), the cranking system is good.
