Load Voltage Measurements

LOAD OFF
Displays the measured voltage taken at idle with accessories off.
LOAD ON
Displays the measured voltage taken at idle with accessories on.

Alternator Ripple Evaluation

DIODE RIPPLE NORMAL
The alternator's rectifier is functioning within its normal operating
range.
EXCESS RIPPLE DETECTED
One or more diodes of the alternator's rectifier may be defective.
DIODE RIPPLE NOT DETECTED
The analyzer is unable to detect diode ripple through the battery
cables or the alternator is not spinning.

ADDITIONAL FEATURES

TEMPERATURE COMPENSATION

If necessary, the analyzer will ask you to choose if the battery
temperature is above or below 32 ºF. Use the ARROW buttons to
select ABOVE or BELOW and press ENTER.

SURFACE CHARGE REMOVAL

If the analyzer detects surface charge during the In-Vehicle Test, it
will prompt you to turn on loads to remove it. Follow the instructions
on the display. When finished, press ENTER and testing will
continue.
IMPORTANT: When asked to turn on the accessory loads, turn on
the blower to high (heat), turn on the high-beam headlights and rear
defogger. DO NOT use cyclical loads such as air conditioning or
windshield wipers.
