6. Istruzioni per l'uso
6.1. Accensione/Spegnimento
- To turn on the tester, slide the ACCESO/SPENTO portare l'interruttore in posizione 'ON'.
- To turn off the tester, slide the ACCESO/SPENTO portare l'interruttore in posizione 'OFF'.
- The unit features an auto-off function to conserve power. When reactivated, it will default to the 1.2V setting.
6.2. Selecting Battery Type and Testing
- Accendere il dispositivo utilizzando il ACCESO/SPENTO interruttore.
- Premere il tasto MODE/START button repeatedly to cycle through the available voltage settings (1.2V, 1.5V, 3V, 9V, 12V) until the desired battery type is selected.
- Carefully insert the battery to be tested into the appropriate contacts on the tester, ensuring correct polarity.
- Il display LCD mostrerà il volume correntetage and the estimated remaining capacity in percentage.
- Rimuovere la batteria quando la lettura è stabile.
6.3. Interpretazione dei risultati
The tester displays both voltage e percentualetage. A significantly low voltage or a low percentage reading indicates a depleted or faulty battery. For specific thresholds of 'failed' batteries, consult the battery manufacturer's specifications, as these can vary.
6.4. Adjustable Test Current
The device allows for an adjustable test current. This feature helps in assessing battery performance under different load conditions. Use the IMPOSTATO button and arrow keys to adjust this setting if required for specific testing scenarios. Refer to the display for current test parameters.
7. Manutenzione
- Pulizia: Pulire il dispositivo con un panno morbido e asciutto. Non utilizzare detergenti abrasivi o solventi.
- Magazzinaggio: Store the tester in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. If storing for extended periods, remove the internal batteries to prevent leakage.
