Battery Test Procedure

Connect the tester to the battery.
1. Red clamp to battery positive (+) terminal.
2. Black clamp to battery negative (-) terminal.

CAUTION: Connect clamps securely. If "CHECK CONNECTION" message is displayed on the screen, reconnect clamps securely.
The tester will ask if the battery is connected "IN-VEHICLE" or "OUT-OF-VEHICLE". Make your selection by pressing the arrow buttons; then press ENTER.

NOTE: CCA: Cold cranking amps, is an SAE specification for cranking battery at -0.4°F (-18°C).
Set the CCA value displayed on the screen to the CCA value marked on the battery label by pressing up and down buttons and press ENTER.

BATTERY TEST RESULTS

Result On Printer	Remedy
GOOD BATTERY	No action is required.
GOOD RECHARGE	Battery is in a good state. Recharge the battery and use. * You have to follow instruction below when you charge battery and retest, otherwise test result can be inaccurate. (See 'CHARGE AND RETEST METHOD AFTER BATTERY CHARGE ' below.)
CHARGE & RETEST	Battery is not charged properly. Charge and test the battery again. * You have to follow instruction below when you charge battery and retest, otherwise test result can be inaccurate. (See 'CHARGE AND RETEST METHOD AFTER BATTERY CHARGE ' below.)
REPLACE BATTERY	Replace battery and recheck the charging system. Improper connection between battery and vehicle cables may cause "REPLACE BATTERY". Retest the battery after removing cables and connecting the tester to the battery terminal directly prior to replacing the battery.
BAD CELL-REPLACE	Charge and retest the battery. If the Micro 570 recommends "REPLACE BATTERY", replace the battery and recheck the charging system.

[Charge and Retest method after battery charge]

Battery charge

Set battery charger to 'Auto Mode' (The Mode that charging current drops as the battery charges.) and charge battery until charging current down close to zero or the charger alerts you with an alarm when charge is complete.

(Minimum charging time recommended: More than 3 hours with Auto Mode that explained above)

If battery is not fully charged, battery surface voltage will be high while the amount of current charged (CCA) in battery is low. If you measure the battery under this condition, tester may misjudge that battery sulfation occurred because the amount of current in battery is too low in comparison with battery voltage.
* Surface voltage: When battery is charged electrolyte temperature increases and chemical reaction become active resulting in an excessive increase of battery voltage.

It is known that it takes approximate one day to subside this increased surface voltage completely.

Battery Test after charge

Do not test battery right after the charge. Test battery after battery surface voltage has subsided as instructed in the following procedure.

When battery charge is complete, install the battery in the vehicle.
Put IG key to ON position and turn on head lamp with low beam, and wait 5 minutes. (Discharge for 5 minutes)
Turn off the head lamp and IG key, and wait 5 minutes. (Waiting for 5 minutes)
Remove +, - cable from the battery and test battery.

WARNING: Whenever filing a claim for battery, the print out of the battery test results must be attached.

Starter Test Procedure

After the battery test, press ENTER immediately for the starter test.

STARTER TEST RESULTS

Result On Printer	Remedy
CRANKING VOLTAGE NORMAL	System shows a normal starter draw.
CRANKING VOLTAGE LOW	Cranking voltage is lower than normal level. Check starter.
CHARGE BATTERY	The state of battery charge is too low to test. Charge the battery and retest.
REPLACE BATTERY	Replace battery. If the vehicle is not started though the battery condition of "GOOD BATTERY" is displayed, check wiring for open circuit, battery cable connection, starter and repair or replace as necessary. If the engine does crank, check fuel system.

NOTE: When testing the vehicle with old diesel engines, the test result will not be favorable if the glow plug is not heated. Conduct the test after warming up the engine for 5 minutes.

Charging System Test Procedure

CHARGING SYSTEM TEST RESULTS

Result On Printer	Remedy
CHARGING SYSTEM NORMAL/DIODE RIPPLE NORMAL	Charging system is normal.
NO CHARGING VOLTAGE	Alternator does not supply charging current to battery. Check belts, connection between alternator and battery and replace belts or cable or alternator as necessary.
LOW CHARGING VOLTAGE	Alternator does not supply charging current to battery and electrical load to system fully. Check belts and alternator and replace as necessary.
HIGH CHARGING VOLTAGE	The voltage from alternator to battery is higher than normal limit during voltage regulating. Check connection and ground and replace regulator as necessary. Check electrolyte level in the battery.
EXCESS RIPPLE DETECTED	One or more diodes in the alternator is not functioning properly. Check alternator mounting and belts and replace as necessary.
