Chapter 2: Overview

Connecting the Battery Test Cable

To prevent damage to the analyzer’s circuitry, do not

connect the analyzer to a voltage source greater than

30 Vdc.

To connect the battery test cable to the analyzer align the

arrow on the cable

connector with

the arrows on the

analyzer’s housing.

Hold the part of the

cable connector as

shown and firmly

insert the connector

into analyzer’s six-pin

receptacle. Do not

twist.

To avoid damaging

the battery test cable,

always hold the

ridged part of the cable connector (as shown in the photo)

when inserting and removing the cable.

Removing and Inserting the Data Card

The analyzer ships with a plastic insert in the data card slot to

protect it from dust and debris. To remove the plastic insert

or a data card, push briey on its edge to release it and pull it

from the slot.

When inserting a card, push it into the slot until it locks. The

card is correctly inserted when it is not protruding from the

slot. To protect the card slot and enable the analyzer to read

and write to the card, leave the card in the slot.

Data Entry Methods

To perform a particular test or function, the tester will ask for

dierent types of information. This means that the methods

you use to enter information will change depending on

the type of information requested. The four types of entry

methods are described below.

Typically, the soft key below the right half of the screen

conrms your choice, although the word above it may vary. In

a similar fashion, the soft key below the left half of the screen

cancels your choice or returns you to the previous screen,

although the word above it may also vary.

Menu icons

A menu icon is a graphical representation of a function you

can select. To select an icon, use the LEFT or RIGHT ARROW

key to highlight it. Highlighting changes the icon to a white

picture on a black background. To conrm your selection,

press the appropriate soft key.

Option Buttons

Some lists have option buttons before each item. To select

an item, use the UP/DOWN ARROW keys to move the dot

into the button next to the item you want. You can also use

the alphanumeric keypad to enter the number preceding

the option button. To confirm your selection, press the

appropriate soft key.

Scrolling Lists

Scrolling lists contain items that extend above and below the

screen or the selection box that contains them. To indicate

that there are more items, the symbols appear to the right

of the rst visible or highlighted item on the list.

Alphanumeric Entries

Even though the tester does not use an alphanumeric keypad

it is possible to enter alphanumeric values. When applicable

the alphanumeric values appear on the display. Use the UP/

DOWN or LEFT/RIGHT ARROW keys to scroll and conrm

this with the > key. To return one or more steps use the < key.

Chapter 3: Test Preparation

Inspecting the Battery

Before starting the test visually inspect the battery for:

•Cracked, buckled, or leaking case. If you see any of these

defects, replace the battery.

•Corroded, loose, or damaged cables and connections. Re-

pair or replace them as needed.

•Corrosion on the battery terminals, and dirt or acid on the

case top. Clean the case and terminals using a wire brush

and a mixture of water and baking soda.

•Low electrolyte level. If the electrolyte level is too low, add

distilled water to ll up and fully charge the battery. Do

not overll.

•Corroded or loose battery tray and hold-down xture.

Tighten or replace as needed.

Testing Out-of-Vessel (Battery Test)

The preferred battery test location is in the vessel. However, if

you plan to test out of the vessel:

•Always disconnect the negative cable from the battery

rst and reconnect it last.

•Always use a carry tool or strap to lift and transport the

battery.

Testing In-Vessel (System Test)

The preferred test position is at the battery posts.

At the start of the test, make sure all vessel accessory loads

are o. If systems in the vessel are still active it might lead

to a SYSTEM NOISE message, the tester will automatically

continue to test the battery until the noise is gone.

Connecting to the Battery

CAUTION: Do not connect the tester to a voltage source

greater than 30 Vdc.

Connect the clamps to the battery: the red clamp to the

positive (+) terminal and the black clamp to the negative (–)

terminal.

If you connect the clamps in the wrong polarity (positive to

negative or negative to positive), the tester displays CLAMPS

REVERSED! Reconnect the clamps correctly.

To make sure both sides of the clamps are gripping the

terminals, rock the each clamp back and forth. A poor

connection will prevent testing, and the tester will display

the message CHECK CONNECTION. If the message reappears

after you have correctly reconnected the clamps, clean the

terminals and reconnect.

Setting User Preferences

Before starting your test you may want to customize the use of

your analyzer by setting preferences in the Utility Menu. The

menu has settings for the display’s date and time, the contrast

and backlight time, a utility to customize printouts, among

others.

To conserve the analyzer’s internal batteries, the tester

will turn o after 30 seconds of inactivity.
