Parts & Service: 020 8988 7400 / E-mail: Parts@clarkeinternational.com or Service@clarkeinternational.com PRODUCT DESCRIPTION PRODUCT PROFILE This battery tester adopts currently the worlds most advanced conductance testing technology to easily, quickly and accurately measure the actual cold cranking amps capacity of the vehicle starting battery, healthy state of the battery itself and common fault of the vehicle starting and charging systems. This will help maintenance personnel find the problem quickly and accurately to achieve a quick vehicle repair. 1. Test all automotive cranking lead ac id batteries, including ordinary lead acid batteries, AGM flat plate batteries, AGM spiral batteries, GEL batteries, EFB batteries, etc. 2. Directly detect a bad cell battery. 3. Polarity reverse connection prote ction, reverse connection will not damage the tester or affect the vehicle or battery. 4. Directly test the battery for loss of electricity (no need to fully charge before testing). 5. Supports multi-languages. You can se lect from the following languages: Chinese Simple, Chinese Traditional, English, Japanese, Russian, Spanish, French, Italian, German. 6. Testing standards include currently the worlds majority of battery standards: CCA, BCI, CA, MCA, JIS, DIN, IEC, EN, SAE, GB (See Technical Parameters section for measurement range). FUNCTION DESCRIPTION The main functions of this battery tester include: Battery Test, Cranking Test, Charging Test and other additional functions. 1. Battery Test: Analyses the battery health status to calculate the actual cold cranking capability of the battery and the aging extent, which provides reliable analysis for the testing and maintenance of the battery. It helps identify the need to replace the battery in advance when the battery is becoming aged. 2. Cranking Test: This is to test and analyse the starter motor. Through testing the actual required cranking current and cranking voltage of the starter motor. It can identify whether the starter motor works correctly. There are several reasons why the starter motor maybe abnormal, for example: a lubricating system fault causing the starting loaded torque to increase or rotor friction of the starter motor causing increasing friction of the starter motor itself.
Parts & Service: 020 8988 7400 / E-mail: Parts@clarkeinternational.com or Service@clarkeinternational.com 3. Charging Test: This is to check and analyse the charging system, including the generator, rectifier, rectifier diode, etc., to find out whether the output voltage of the generator is normal, the rectifier diode works correctly and the charging current is normal. If one of the above mentioned parts is not operating normally, it will lead to over charging or incomplete charging of the battery, this will damage and also greatly shorten the life of other loaded electrical appliances. 4. Additional Functions: These include set language, voltmeter and screen brightness adjustment.
