What to Expect from the BCT-460NAV:

The BCT-460NAV is a portable full-featured menu-driven battery tester, starting, and

charging system analyzer that provides quick, professional load results using Auto Meter's

Digital Pulse Load. The BCT-460NAV is user friendly. It guides you through the test and

tells you what to do next.

Caution: The BCT-460NAV grill may get hot after repeated use. Be sure to hold the unit

from the side grips only. Keep hands away from the grill. Keep oil and liquids away from

the grill and load coils.

You have purchased one of Auto Meter's hand-held Electrical System Analyzers. It is designed

to test each component of a truck’s electrical charging and starting system with speed and

accuracy. If you should have any questions about your tester, testing procedures, or service

see the last page of this booklet for contact information.

This appears during the 1st use of your new BCT-460NAV, and after

any software updates. Touch MORE to continue reading/reviewing the

agreement. Touch ACCEPT to continue to the testers home page. At the

Note: The BCT-460NAV performs a complete electrical system test that checks

the battery pack, starter cable voltage drop, starter test, alternator cable voltage

drop, and alternator test.

Carefully read all operating instructions

before using the BCT-460NAV

Wear eye protection when working

around batteries.

Be sure each test is completed before

removing load clamps to prevent arcing

and potential explosion from battery

gases. Never remove load clamps

while testing. Keep sparks ames, or

cigarettes away from batteries.

Keep hair, hands, and clothing as well

as tester leads and cords away from

moving blades and belts.

Provide adequate ventilation to remove vehicle exhaust.

In extremely cold temperatures, check for frozen electrolytic uid

before applying load. Do not attempt to Load Test or charge a battery

under 20 degrees. Allow the battery to warm to room temperature

before testing or charging.

Warning! Never attach the BCT-460NAV to a battery that is

connected to any other tester or charging unit. Damage may result.

Incorrect Application: Wrong size battery may have inadequate cold cranking rating for

original vehicle specications.

Incorrect Installation: Loose battery hold-downs cause excessive vibration, which can

result in damage to the plates.

Improper Maintenance: Low electrolytic uid and corrosion on battery connections can

greatly reduce battery life and affect battery performance.

Age of Battery: If the date code on the battery indicates it is fairly old, the failure may be

due to natural causes.

Overcharging: Overcharging caused by a high voltage regulator setting or incorrect

battery charging can cause excessive gasing, heat and water loss.

Undercharging: Undercharging caused by a faulty charging system or low voltage

regulation can cause lead sulfate to gradually build up and crystallize on the plates greatly

reducing the battery's capacity and ability to be recharged.

SAFETY

CAUSE OF BATTERY FAILURE

This device is only to be used on 12V and

24V electrical systems. Not for use on high

voltage electrical systems.

WARNING!

Valid heavy duty electrical system testing depends on all the components being in good operating condition. In addition,

the battery MUST have sufcient charge for testing. Carefully perform the following steps before attempting any electrical

diagnosis.

Inspect Belts for cracks, glazed surface and fraying. Tighten loose belts.

Inspect Battery for terminal corrosion,

loose or broken posts, cracks in the case,

loose hold-downs, low electrolyte level,

moisture, and dirt around the terminals.

If the battery terminals are corroded or

dirty, clean terminals before performing any

tests.

Inspect Starting System. Check starter, solenoid, and regulator for loose connections,

loose mounts and frayed or cracked wires.

Important Note: A damaged battery must be replaced before proceeding.

CONTROLS AND FUNCTIONS

BLUETOOTH

The BCT-460NAV uses Bluetooth to communicate between the control module and load module. This allows you to make the

connections, remove the control module and the run the tests from inside the vehicle.

The BCT-460NAV control module and load module come paired from the factory.

Bluetooth will work as long as the distance between the load module and control module is less than 30 feet. Walls, windows and

other objects between the control module and load module will affect the range.

If you do experience any communication issues please look at the troubleshooting guide at the back of this manual on how to

correct them.

Wi-Fi

The BCT-460NAV uses WiFi to communicate between the control module and AMPNET server. The AMPNET service will provide

rmware updates for the control module and the load module. You will need to pair the control module with your local wireless

LAN. See Wi-Fi section for instructions on setting up the wireless connection.

AMPNET

The data from your BCT-460NAV can be downloaded to the data management software known as AMPNET (purchased

separately). This software that can be used to display and track your battery, starting system, and charging system test results in

graphical form.

setup the unit, and review

past test data. See page 10

for settings.

USB Type A - This port is used to connect USB memory

sticks to save test data. The Control module must be

docked to the Load module to use this feature.

NOTE: The Load Module must not be connected to a

battery or the battery charger to use the Type

A USB Port.

USB Type B - Factory use only.

Temperature Sensor: The Load module has an

IR temperature sensor that is used to measure the

temperature of the battery you are testing.

Charging / Port: When the unit is not being used it

should be placed on the charger (or optional charging

station) to keep the batteries fully charged.
