Informacje dotyczące bezpieczeństwa

Always observe the following safety precautions to prevent personal injury or damage to the tester or vehicle.

• Ochrona oczu: Always wear ANSI-approved safety goggles when working with batteries. Batteries contain corrosive acid that can cause severe eye injury.
• Wentylacja: Ensure adequate ventilation when testing batteries. Batteries can produce explosive gases.
• Źródła zapłonu: Trzymaj akumulatory z dala od źródeł iskier, płomieni i materiałów wybuchowych.
• Narzędzia izolowane: Aby zapobiec przypadkowym zwarciom, należy używać izolowanych narzędzi.
• Prawidłowe połączenie: Podłącz tester klamps to the correct battery terminals (positive to positive, negative to negative). Reverse polarity can damage the tester and battery.
• Gorące powierzchnie: The tester will become hot during use. Allow it to cool before handling after a test.
• Dzieci i zwierzęta: Keep the tester and work area away from children and pets.

Instrukcja obsługi

Battery Load Test (6V and 12V Batteries)

1. Połącz Clamps: Podłącz czerwony (dodatni) przewódamp do dodatniego (+) bieguna akumulatora i czarnego (ujemnego) biegunaamp do ujemnego (-) bieguna akumulatora. Upewnij się, że połączenie jest stabilne.
2. Początkowa objętośćtage Czytanie: Observe the meter. It should show the battery's open-circuit voltage. For a fully charged 12V battery, this should be around 12.6V or higher. For a 6V battery, around 6.3V.
3. Zastosuj obciążenie: Hold the load test button (if applicable, or simply observe the meter as the load is applied automatically). Do not hold the load for more than 10 seconds. Allow 1 minute between tests to prevent overheating.
4. Przeczytaj wyniki: While the load is applied, read the voltage na liczniku.
   • DOBRZE: Needle stays in the "GOOD" (green) section. Battery is in good condition.
   • OK: Needle stays in the "OK" (light green/yellow) section. Battery is acceptable but may be weakening.
   • SŁABY: Needle drops into the "WEAK" (orange) section. Battery is weak and may need charging or replacement.
   • ZŁY: Needle drops into the "BAD" (red) section. Battery is likely defective and needs replacement.
5. Odłączyć: Release the load test button (if applicable) and disconnect the clamps from the battery, starting with the negative clamp.

Charging System Test (12V Systems Only)

This test checks the alternator and voltagregulator.

1. Połącz Clamps: Podłącz czerwony (dodatni) przewódamp do dodatniego (+) bieguna akumulatora i czarnego (ujemnego) biegunaamp do ujemnego (-) zacisku akumulatora.
2. Uruchom silnik: Start the vehicle's engine and let it idle.
3. Observe Meter: The meter should read in the "CHARGING SYSTEM" (green) section, typically between 13.5V and 14.5V.
   • Poniżej 13V: Indicates a potential problem with the alternator or voltage regulator (undercharging).
   • Above 15V: Indicates overcharging, which can damage the battery and vehicle electronics.
4. Increase RPM: Briefly increase engine RPM to about 1500-2000 and observe the meter. The reading should remain stable within the "CHARGING SYSTEM" range.
5. Turn on Accessories: Turn on headlights (high beam) and the blower motor on high. The voltage should remain above 13V. A significant drop indicates a weak alternator.
6. Odłączyć: Turn off the engine and disconnect the clamps, starting with the negative clamp.

Konserwacja

• Czyszczenie: After each use, wipe down the tester with a clean, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Clamp Pielęgnacja: Trzymaj baterię wampczyste i wolne od korozji.
• Składowanie: Store the tester in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Ensure cables are neatly coiled to prevent damage.
• Kontrola: Okresowo sprawdzaj kable i przewody.amps for any signs of wear, cuts, or damage. Do not use the tester if any part is damaged.
