Test Preparation; Connecting The Analyzer; Testing Individual Batteries - Midtronics PowerSensor Micro700 Instruction Manual

CAUTION: Because of the possibility of personal injury,
always use extreme caution when working with batteries.
!
Follow all BCI (Battery Council International) safety
recommendations.
WARNING: Battery posts, terminals, and related accesso-
ries contain lead and lead compounds, chemicals known to
!
the state of California to cause cancer and birth defects or
other reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling.

TEST PREPARATION

• Clean the battery terminals with a wire brush before testing.
• At the start of the test make sure all vehicle accessory loads are
off and the ignition is in the OFF position.

CONNECTING THE ANALYZER

IMPORTANT: To ensure accurate test results for Group 31 batteries,
the clamps are designed to connect to lead stud adapters (provided
with the Micro700) or to the lead bases of threaded studs. (See
Figures 1 and 2 on the next page.) Never connect the clamps directly
onto the threaded studs.

Testing Individual Batteries

Every battery in the pack should be disconnected before testing.
If the analyzer detects that the batteries are connected at the start
of the Battery Pack Test, it will remind you to disconnect the pack.
To connect to batteries with threaded studs:
1. Screw the negative (–) terminal adapter onto the negative stud,
and the positive (+) adapter onto the positive stud.
2. Connect the red clamp to the positive (+) adapter.
3. Connect the black clamp to the negative (–) adapter.
4. For a proper connection, rock the clamps back and forth. Both
sides of the clamp must be firmly connected before testing
(Figure 1). If the message CHECK CONNECTION appears,
clean the terminals and/or reconnect the clamps
