Parts & Service: 020 8988 7400 / E-mail: Parts@clarkeinternational.com or Service@clarkeinternational.com 11. DO NOT test a battery within a short period of time after charging or use, as the result maybe inaccurate. 12. Perform the test when the battery is in a cold state, when the voltage is stable. 13. Make sure all electrical equipment is turned off when testing. 14. DO NOT use the device while the vehicle is in motion, the tester is not suitable for permanent installation in a motor vehicle. 15. Make sure the vehicle is securely parked and the handbrake applied before using the tester. For vehicles with automatic transmissions the “park position” must be engaged and the hand brake must be engaged. 16. DO NOT use other measuring devices when using the tester. 17. Seek professional help if you are unsure about anything related to the electrical system in your vehicle. 18. When using the crocodile clips for testing, the red clip must be clamped to the positive pole (+ or Red) of the battery, and the black clip must be clamped to the negative pole (- or black). DO NOT reverse the connections. 19. If the outer insulation of the cable is damaged, it may cause a short circuit. Stop using it immediately and contact your CLARKE dealer. OTHER INFORMATION 1. The Battery Tester is suitable for all types of 6V &12V lead acid batteries (vehicle batteries).

Parts & Service: 020 8988 7400 / E-mail: Parts@clarkeinternational.com or Service@clarkeinternational.com BATTERY TESTER OPERATION BATTERY LOAD TEST 1. Attach the red/positive crocodile clip test lead to the red/positive (+) battery terminal. 2. Attach the black/negative crocodile c lip test lead to the black/negative (-) battery terminal. NOTE: Correct connection of the terminals will send the pointer clockwise (right) across the voltage scale, incorrect connection will send the pointer anticlockwise (left). If there is no movement of the pointer, there is either a bad connection of the battery terminals or the battery is dead. 3. Press the battery load test switch to the on position (I) and hold until the voltmeter stabilises or for a maximum of 10 seconds. NOTE: Failure to release the switch within 10 seconds may result in the switch burning out. 4. Note the meter reading and then re lease the battery load test switch. WARNING: ON THE FIRST LOAD TEST, SMOKE MAY BE EMITTED FROM THE LOUVRES IN THE CASING. THIS IS NORMAL AND TEMPORARY.
Parts & Service: 020 8988 7400 / E-mail: Parts@clarkeinternational.com or Service@clarkeinternational.com 5. The following chart will show the condition of the battery. NOTE: For 12 volt batteries, the Green: ‘OK’ section is marked with Nominal Cranking Current (NCC) from 200 to 1000 amps in 200 amp intervals. Note this figure and compare with the battery manufacturers quoted figure to give an indication of any deterioration. BATTERY VOLTAGE/CHARGE LEVEL 1. If the load test results indicates a battery fault (yellow/red), allow the battery to stabilise for a few minutes and then read the open circuit voltage, which is a meter reading not utilizing the load switch. 2. Use the following chart to estimate the charge level NOTE: The battery is considered charged at 75% or higher. If it fails the load test with this charge, it should be replaced. If the voltage indicates a charge below 75%, then charge the battery and retest. If the battery fails a second time, replace it. CHARGING SYSTEM (12 VOLT SYSTEM ONLY) 1. Attach the red/positive crocodile clip test lead to the red/positive (+) battery terminal. 2. Attach the black/negative crocodile c lip test lead to the black/negative (-) battery terminal. NOTE: Correct connection of the terminals will send the pointer clockwise (right) across the voltage scale, incorrect connection will send the pointer anticlockwise (left). If there is no movement of the pointer, there Pointer Location Battery Condition Green: ‘OK’ Battery is in a good condition and near full charge Yellow: ‘Weak’ Battery condit ion is low and may need charging. Red: ‘Bad’ Battery conditio n is very low and needs charging. If battery still shows Red after charging, replace the battery.

Parts & Service: 020 8988 7400 / E-mail: Parts@clarkeinternational.com or Service@clarkeinternational.com is either a bad connection of the battery terminals or the battery is dead. 3. Start the engine and allow it to warm up. Turn off all electrical accessories such as radio, headlights, heating etc. 4. Run the engine to between 1200 & 1500rpm and note the reading. This should be in the green zone (OK), between 13.6V & 15V. NOTE: DO NOT press the battery load test switch. 5. Switch on the headlights and heater system to its maximum. The meter reading should stay in the green zone. 6. A reading below 13.6V (red zone) indicates a fault in the charging system and/or the battery is under charged. A reading above 15V (red zone) indicates the battery is overcharged. STARTER MOTOR (12 VOLT SYSTEM ONLY) NOTE: This test requires the battery to be in a good charged condition of at least 75% (9V). 1. Attach the red/positive crocodile clip test lead to the red/positive (+) battery terminal. 2. Attach the black/negative crocodile c lip test lead to the black/negative (-) battery terminal. NOTE: Correct connection of the terminals will send the pointer clockwise (right) across the voltage scale, incorrect connection will send the pointer anticlockwise (left). If there is no movement of the pointer, there is either a bad connection of the battery terminals or the battery is dead. 3. Disable the ignition system by removing the fuse. (consult the vehicle manual for correct procedure and fuse). 4. Carry out a load test (see page 6) and note voltage reading. 5. Use the following table (also displaye d on the lower half of the Voltmeter display), determine the minimum cranking voltage. Load Voltage Minimum Cranking Voltage 3.5L and Above Engine Size Below 3.5L Engine Size 10.2 7.7 8.2 10.4 8.2 8.7 10.6 8.7 9.2 10.8 9.2 9.7 11 9.7 10.2
Parts & Service: 020 8988 7400 / E-mail: Parts@clarkeinternational.com or Service@clarkeinternational.com NOTE: An engine size of less than 3.5L, you should take the next higher cranking voltage. 6. Operate the vehicle starter motor an d note the voltage during cranking. NOTE: DO NOT press the batte ry load test switch. 7. A reading below the minimum cranking voltage indicates that the starter motor is taking too much current. This may be due to a poor connection, a faulty starter motor or the battery being too small for the vehicle. 8. Reinstate the ignition system by replacing the fuse. MAINTENANCE & CLEANING If needed, clean the device with a light, damp, soft cloth. Before cleaning, disconnect the device from the electrical system. DO NOT use any liquid cleaning product. DO NOT use any inflammable cleaning product. DO NOT submerge the device or spill any liquids over it. AVOID engine oil, petrol, antifreeze and electrolyte from contacting the tester as this may cause surface deterioration of the device.
