2 Safety Warnings and Instructions

WARNING

This product can expose you to chemicals including arsenic, which

is known to the State of California to cause cancer. For more

information, go to www.P65Warnings.ca.gov.

CAUTION

Do not expose the tester to rain or snow.

} Working in the vicinity of a lead acid battery is dangerous. Batteries

generate explosive gases during normal operation. For this reason it is

important that you refer back to these instructions if you have any

questions on tool operation.

} To reduce risk of battery explosion, follow these instructions, those

published by the battery manufacturer, and the manufacturer of any

equipment you intend to use in the vicinity of the battery. Observe

cautionary markings on these items.

} Another person should be within range of your voice or close enough to

come to your aid when you work near a lead acid battery.

} Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case battery acid contacts

skin, clothing, or eyes.

} Wear safety glasses and protective clothing.

} If battery acid contacts your skin or clothing, wash immediately with soap

and water. If acid enters your eye, immediately ood the eye with running

cold water for at least ten minutes and seek immediate medical attention.

} NEVER smoke or allow a spark or ame in vicinity of the battery or engine.

} Be extra cautious to reduce the risk of dropping a metal tool onto the

battery. It could spark or short-circuit the battery or other electrical parts

and could cause an explosion.

} Remove personal metal items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces, and

watches when working with a lead acid battery. These items can produce

a short-circuit current high enough to weld a ring or like to metal causing

a severe burns.

3 Paper Loading/Replacement

Do the following to load paper:

1. Connect BAT 155 to battery. (See Pg. 5 for connection instructions.)

2. Pull up the cover lifter to open the clear cover. (See Fig. 1) Insert a new

paper roll into the printer compartment with the leading edge coming out

from under the paper roll. Pull a short length of paper from the

compartment and press down the clear cover to close and snap in place.

Note: Tester will not print if cover is not snapped in place. (See Fig. 2)

Note: Replacement thermal paper rolls are available at most ofce supply

retailers. The paper is 2 1/4 in. wide, with a maximum roll length of 98 ft.

4 Before Testing Begins

1. Install/verify that there are 6 AA alkaline 1.5V batteries installed into the

tester battery chamber located on the back of the unit. Li-Ion or lithium

batteries are not recommended because of the initial 1.7 Volt output. When

the batteries are weak, the screen will display “POWER LOW.” Replace all 6

batteries at the same time. Note: Nothing will be seen on the display until

the tester is connected to a vehicle battery. Each time the tester is

connected to a battery, the tester will run a quick cable verication to

ensure a proper connection through the output cables to sensors in the

clamp jaws. If the connection checks out OK, the display will momentarily

ash and proceed to the Home Screen. In operation the tester will only

show three results: CHECK CLAMPS / VOLTAGE HIGH / VOLTAGE LOW.

2. Ensure that the area around the vehicle battery is well ventilated while the

battery is being tested.

3. Clean battery terminals. Be careful to keep corrosion from coming in

contact with your eyes.

4. Inspect the battery for cracked or broken case or cover. If the battery is

damaged, do not use the tester.

5. If the battery is not a sealed maintenance free type, add distilled water in

each cell until the battery acid reaches the level specied by the

manufacturer. This helps purge excessive gas from cells. Do not overll.

6. If necessary to remove battery from vehicle to test, always remove the

ground terminal from the battery rst. Make sure all accessories in the

vehicle are off to prevent arcing.

tions or with a poor connection between the

vehicle and the battery to affect the charging

function. Possible battery replacement and/or

charging system analysis may be needed.

Battery is discharged. The battery condition

cannot be determined until it is fully charged.

Recharge and retest the battery.

The battery has at least one cell short circuit. It

should be replaced immediately.

6 Testing Multiple Batteries in a Vehicle

CAUTION

Before testing a vehicle with multiple batteries, turn off the ignition

and all accessories and loads. Close all vehicle doors and the trunk

lid.

Ensure the battery terminals are clean. Wire brush them if necessary. Leaving all

the batteries connected to each other, select one battery to connect the tester

to. Clamp the red tester lead to that battery’s positive terminal. Clamp the black

tester lead to the corresponding negative battery terminal.

Note: Battery pack testing can only be performed on 12V systems.
