5. Impostazione

5.1 MP0515A 12V Car Battery Load Tester Setup

1. Assicurarsi che l'accensione del veicolo sia spenta e che tutti gli accessori siano spenti.
2. Collegare il positivo rosso (+) clamp of the tester to the positive (+) terminal of the 12V vehicle battery.
3. Collegare il negativo nero (-) clamp of the tester to the negative (-) terminal of the 12V vehicle battery.
4. Ensure both connections are secure and free from corrosion. The tester will power on automatically.

5.2 MP69040 OBD2 Scanner Setup

1. Locate the vehicle's 16-pin Data Link Connector (DLC), typically found under the dashboard on the driver's side.
2. Plug the MP69040's OBD2 cable firmly into the vehicle's DLC.
3. Turn the vehicle's ignition to the 'ON' position (engine off or running, depending on the test). The scanner will power on automatically.

6. Istruzioni per l'uso

6.1.1 Battery Status Test (Vehicle Off)

1. Ensure the MP0515A is correctly connected to the 12V battery with the vehicle's engine off.
2. Observe the digital voltage visualizzazione.
3. Read the battery status indicated by the LEDs on the lato sinistro of the tester:
   • PIENO: La batteria è completamente carica.
   • MEDIO: La batteria ha una carica moderata.
   • BASSO: La carica della batteria è bassa, prendere in considerazione la possibilità di ricaricarla.
   • VUOTO: Battery is discharged or critically low.

6.1.2 Test dell'alternatore/sistema di ricarica (veicolo in funzione)

1. Ensure the MP0515A is correctly connected to the 12V battery.
2. Start the vehicle's engine and let it run at idle.
3. Observe the digital voltage display. A healthy charging system typically shows around 13.5V to 14.5V.
4. Read the alternator status indicated by the LEDs on the lato destro of the tester:
   • ALTO: Uscita alternatore voltage è troppo alto.
   • BENE: Alternator output is within normal operating range.
   • MORTO: Alternator is not charging the battery.

8. Risoluzione Dei Problemi

8.1 MP0515A Battery Tester Troubleshooting

• Display shows "LO": Il volume della batteriatage is under 4V DC. The battery may be severely discharged or faulty.
• Display shows "HI": Il volume della batteriatage is above 20V DC. This is outside the normal operating range for a 12V system and may indicate a charging system fault or incorrect application.
• "REVERSE" LED is lit: Il cl positivo e negativoamps are connected to the wrong battery terminals. Disconnect immediately and reconnect with correct polarity.
• No display/No power: Garantire clamps are securely connected to the battery terminals and the battery has sufficient voltage (oltre 4 V).

8.2 MP69040 OBD2 Scanner Troubleshooting

• Lo scanner non si accende: Check that the OBD2 cable is securely connected to the vehicle's DLC and the vehicle's ignition is in the 'ON' position. Verify the vehicle's battery is not dead.
• "Errore di collegamento" o "Errore di comunicazione": Ensure the OBD2 cable is properly connected. Verify the vehicle is OBDII/EOBD compliant and not a new energy or hybrid vehicle. Try turning the ignition off and on again, or try on a different compatible vehicle if available.
