4. he battery temperature is below 80 F for instance a battery at 40 F will read 80 of the actual CCA value An example on a battery at 40 F the tester shows the battery CCA value at 400 so the actual value is 400 80 500CCA CHARGING SYSTEM TEST This test measures the output voltage of the alternator regulator Check for under or overcharging which leads to poor battery performance and short life ENGINE SHOULD BE AT NORMAL OPERATING TEMPERATURE 1 Turn off all lights and accessories Operate engine at fast idle approximately 1500 RPM 2 Connect tester clamps to battery as described in Step 2 under Battery Load Test NOTE If the tester is still connected to the battery from a previous test it is necessary to disconnect one of the clamps to reset the tester before performing another test 3 Do not press the tester s load switch turn on the lights turn on the high beams and put the blower on high after about 3 sec turn off the lights and blower Check the tester display will show Vb Vmax and Vmin The user can then verify that these readings are within the recommended values of the vehicle manufacturer for instance normal voltages would be in the range of 13 5 to 14 4V Voltage readings out of the range would indicate a bad alternator regulator or circuit issue belts cable connections 4 For larger alternators the tester load may also be used for loading the battery and alternator Compare the tester readings with th
5. r uses the battery under test for power If the battery voltage is less than 7 5 volts the display will not come on If when connecting the tester the display does not light up check for correct polarity hookup If correct charge the battery and try again 4 Press and hold the load switch to place a load on the battery The tester monitors the voltage after determining the load is no longer needed 5 to 10 seconds the display will flash indicating to release the load switch The tester will calculate the battery capacity and begin to cycle through the sequence of four displays Vb Vmax Vmin and CCA 5 If the battery state of charge is too low to calculate the CCA or the battery is to small lt 100CCA then the test will display LO for the CCA 6 If the load switch is not pressed within 10 seconds after tester connection to battery the tester will begin to cycle through the display showing the Vb Vmax and Vmin The LED s under the display indicate which value is being displayed WARNING THE TOP AND REAR OF TESTER WILL HEAT UP DUE TO LOAD CURRENT WITH 12 VOLT BATTERIES ALLOW TESTER TO COOL ONE MINUTE BETWEEN LOAD TESTS MAXIMUM OF 3 LOAD TESTS IN 15 MINUTE PERIOD EXCEEDING DUTY CYCLE MAY CAUSE INCORRECT READING AND DAMAGE TO THE UNIT TEMPERATURE COMPENSATION FOR BATTERY LOAD TEST Low temperature has a degrading effect on batteries and will affect test results The CCA reading will drop approximately 1 for each 2 F t
6. rged lead acid batteries will freeze during cold weather Never test or charge a frozen battery Do not allow tools to drop onto a battery Do not lay tester on battery BATTERY LOAD TEST This test evaluates the battery s ability to crank an engine The tester draws current from the battery while measuring its voltage level The voltage level of a good battery will remain relatively steady under load but a defective battery will show a rapid loss in voltage Battery size CCA rating and temperature will affect test results follow instructions carefully 1 Turn off engine accessories and battery test equipment 1 2 Connect positive red clamp to positive POS P battery post Connect negative black clamp to the negative NEG N battery post Rock clamps back and forth to insure a good electrical connection For batteries with side terminals use the side terminal adapters in the clamps 3 As soon as the tester is connected to the battery the tester will take a reading of the battery Open Circuit Voltage OCV before any load is placed on the battery The tester display will flash then show the battery voltage Vb at that moment While the voltage is displayed the tester will be recording the Maximum voltage Vmax and Minimum voltage Vmin measured Batteries load tested in a discharged state Vb lt 12 2 volts may result in an inaccurate CCA Attempt to recharge these batteries and then retest NOTE The 6033 teste
