FEATURES

The CDBT1 incorporates green & red LEDs to show immediate information and

includes the following functional features:

• Shows CCA (Cold Cranking Amps) at the end of each test.

• Displays an expanded measurement range from 100-1400CCA.

• Tests discharged batteries.

• Identifies defective battery cells.

• Incorporates ‘Voltmeter mode’ for testing both the starter and charging

systems.

• Incorporates High/Low voltage capture for improved starter/charging

system testing.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

1. Always avoid creating sparks in a battery charging environment, as this

could cause a fire, or even an explosion.

Similarly, it is vital to avoid creating sparks when testing a battery in a motor

vehicle in situ, as spikes in the system could cause serious damage to the

vehicle electronic circuitry.

Ensure that the RED or POSITIVE clamp does not touch any other part of the

vehicle, and be particularly careful where you place the tester within the

engine compartment.

2. Avoid dropping the tester, as this could cause damage, which may not

prevent the device from working, but could nevertheless cause the

readings to be inaccurate.

BEFORE USE

1. Check the battery for cracks or leakage. If damage is found, do not test,

replace the battery.

2. If possible, check electrolyte levels and top up with distilled water if

necessary.

3. Clean the battery terminals with a wire brush if not already clean & bright.

4. Turn off the vehicle including all accessory loads.

• Testing with the ignition switch on or electrical loads present such as

boot light, interior light etc will cause inaccurate readings.

BATTERY TEST

NOTE: If testing in-situ, ensure all lights and accessories are switched off

and the key is removed.

NOTE: Make a note of the battery rating system (e.g SAE) and rating (e.g

300) as shown on the battery.

1. Connect the RED clamp to the POSITIVE (+) terminal and the BLACK clamp

to the NEGATIVE (-) terminal.

• The rating system that was last selected will be shown briefly on the

display (e.g SAE) for 1 second followed by the default rating.

• If the rating system is incorrect see CHANGING THE RATING SYSTEM on

page 6.

2. Use the HIGH/LOW arrow buttons to scroll to the battery rating e.g 300Ah.

3. Press the TEST button to start the test.

• One or more ‘Battery Status’ LEDs will light up, (see results chart below).

• The display will alternate between the voltage and CCA by pressing the

TEST button.

CHANGING THE RATING SYSTEM

1. Disconnect the clamps and connect the positive clamp (red) to the

positive terminal.

2. Press the hold the TEST button.

3. Connect the negative clamp (black) to the negative (-) terminal.

4. After the display shows the letters of the rating system with dots (for

example, C.C.A), release the TEST button.

5. Use the HIGH arrow / LOW arrow buttons to scroll to the correct rating

system.

6. Press the TEST button to select the rating system. The default rating will

appear.

7. Continue with step 2 in “BATTERY TEST”.

RATING SYSTEM CHART

STARTING SYSTEM TEST

NOTE: The battery must be good and fully charged for this test.

1. Connect the tester clamps to the battery: RED clamp to the POSITIVE (+)

terminal and the BLACK clamp to the NEGATIVE (-) terminal. Check each

clamp is making a good connection.

2. Press the VOLTAGE button to read the live voltage.

3. Start the vehicle.

4. Press and hold the LOW arrow button to read the cranking voltage.

STARTING SYSTEM TEST RESULTS

CHARGING SYSTEM TEST

NOTE: The battery must be fully charged for this test.

1. When the vehicle engine is running, connect the RED clamp to the

POSITIVE (+) terminal and the BLACK clamp to the NEGATIVE (-) terminal.

2. Press the VOLTAGE button to read the live voltage.

3. Rev the engine to 2000 rpm for 15 seconds.

4. Press and hold the HIGH arrow button to read the highest average

charging voltage.

CHARGING SYSTEM TEST RESULTS

Starting Test

Indicator LEDs

Decision

Green The cranking voltage is greater than 9.6V

The starting system is OK.

Red The cranking voltage is less than 9.6V which

indicates a starting system problem. Check

the connections, wiring and starter.

Starting Test

Indicator LEDs

Decision

Green The highest average charging voltage is

between 13.3V and 15.5V. The charging

system is OK.

Red The highest average charging voltage is

less than 13.3V or greater than 15.5V which

indicates a charging system problem. If less

than 13.3V, check the connections, wiring

and alternator. If greater than 15.5V, check

the charging regulator.

TROUBLESHOOTING

MAINTENANCE

As the metal clamps are liable to come into contact with battery electrolyte, it

is advisable to wipe them clean and dry after use, and apply a thin film of

silicon grease to prevent the possibility of corrosion.

CONDITION OBSERVED RECOMMENDED ACTION

Display flashes or shows one flashing

letter

Battery is too low (<8 Volts) to test.

Fully charge the battery and retest.

Message showing that alternates

between “BAD” and “CELL”

One or more battery cells are

defective. Replace the battery.

Message “CON” displayed. This shows a bad connection.

Disconnect the clamps and re-

connect. Ensure that a good

connection is achieved.

Top panel red LED lights up when

testing in-vehicle

Possible poor connection between

battery cables. Re-test at the battery

posts before replacing the battery.

Excessive electromagnetic

interference causing the tester to re-

set during testing.

Before re-testing, reconnect the

clamps and ensure the ignition is off

and all electrical loads are removed.

Move away from the noise source

(such as a charger or other high-

current device.

If unable to find the noise source,

fully charge the battery and re-test

at the battery terminals. If the top-

panel red LED lights up again,

replace the battery.
