contact when they are connected to the battery,
since this can cause the melting of the batter or
other metal objects.

flapping garments or jewellery that might get
caught into moving parts. While working, the
use of electrically insulated protective clothing
is recommended as well as anti-slip footwear.
Should long hair be worn, wear a cap to contain

INTRODUCTION
DESCRIPTION
Digital meter for lead batteries (Fig. A). This
instrument allows checking of the state of charging
of 12V lead batteries and their capacity for starting
used in vehicles (SLI batteries).
The minimum and maximum start-up current
values (CCA) that can be set are the following:
-
EN: 185 ÷ 1125 A
-
IEC: 130 ÷ 790 A
-
DIN: 110 ÷ 670 A
-
SAE: 200 ÷ 1200 A
-
CA (MCA): 240 ÷ 1440 A
Ambient temperature for correct use of the meter is
comprised between 0°C and 40°C.
3. OPERATION
BEFORE CARRYING OUT THE TEST
- Ensure that the battery terminals are clean.
- Before testing a vehicle's battery, remove the
ignition key, switch the lights off, remove all
connected accessories and close the doors and
the boot.
OPERATIONS AND USE
- Connect the red clamp (+) to the battery's

pole (Fig. B). The display (Fig. A-1) switches
on and the open circuit voltage of the battery is
displayed.
Battery selection
- Press "Enter" (Fig. A-4) to select the type of
battery: use cursors Λ V (Fig. A-3) to select:
SEAL (hermetically-sealed batteries without
maintenance, type VRLA/GEL/AGM) or
SLI (Standard WET batteries).
Confirm the selection with "Enter".
Reference standard selection
- Use cursors Λ V to select the reference standard
adopted by the battery manufacturer: EN, IEC,
AND
