1.0 - Introduction
1.1- MODEL 12-1015 (Battery Electrical System Analyzer):
This Analyzer uses the modern technology in battery testing which can test
batteries as they are without charging before test. Testing procedures are quick
and easy with repeatable results. Test Results can be printed directly on the
integrated printer or it can be stored in the computer for records.
1. Battery Test:
Analyses the battery condition using microprocessor controlled testing
methods without the need of fully charging it before test.
The unit consumes very little current during testing hence the test can
be repeated numerous times without any worry of draining the battery
and its results are highly accurate.
Extremely safe as it does not create any sparks during clamping and it
takes less than 7 seconds to obtain the full analyzed results of tested
battery.
2. Grounding Test:
Analyses the condition of the electrical return circuit contacts
resistance which were connected to the engine or chassis body from
the battery terminal with results and recommendations display after
test.
3. Starter Test:
Checks the cranking effectiveness of the battery to predict when the
battery will fail to crank a vehicle basing on voltage profiles with results
and recommendations display.
4. Alternator Test:
This test checks the alternator charging condition during load at 2,000
RPM and without load at 3,000 RPM with results and
recommendations display after each test.
This Analyzer is maintenance-free and does not require internal batteries. It
powers up when connected to the battery posts during testing or through an
external 12 Volts DC source for later review of the test results.
