The MICRO 570 Analyzer
provides the ability to test the charging and starting systems, including
the battery, starter and alternator.
Because of the possibility of personal
injury, always use extreme caution and appropriate eye protection
when working with batteries. |

KEYPAD
The MICRO570 button on
the key pad provides the following functions :

BATTERY
TEST PROCEDURE
1. |
Connect the tester to the
battery.
A. |
Red clamp to battery positive (+)
terminal. |
B. |
Black clamp to battery negative (-)
terminal. |

Connect clamps securely. If "CHECK
CONNECTION" message is displayed on the screen, reconnect
clamps
securely. | |
2. |
The tester will ask if the battery is
connected "IN A VEHICLE" or "OUT OF A VEHICLE". Make your selection
by pressing the arrow buttons; then press ENTER.

|
3. |
Choose either CCA or CCP and press the ENTER
button.

• |
CCA : Cold cranking amps, is an
SAE specification for cranking batteries at -18°C
(0°F). |
• |
CCP : Cold cranking amps, is an
SAE specification for korean manufacturer's for cranking
batteries at -18°C
(0°F). | | |
4. |
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.

The battery ratings(CCA) displayed on
the tester must be identical to the ratings marked on battery
label. | |
5. |
The tester (Micro570) displays battery test
results including voltage and battery ratings.
A relevant action must be given according to
the test results by referring to the battery test results as shown
in the table below.

The battery ratings (CCA) displayed on
the tester must be identical to the ratings marked on battery
label. | |
6. |
To conduct starter test, continuously, press
ENTER. |
BATTERY TEST RESULTS

|
REMEDY
|
Good battery
|
No action is required
|
Good recharge
|
Battery is in a good state Recharge the battery and use
|
Charge & Retest
|
Battery is not charged properly =>
Charge and test the battery again (Failure to charge the battery
fully may read incorrect measurement value)
|
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. And then, test
results may cause "REPLACE BATTERY", replace battery and recheck the
charging system
|
Whenever filing a claim for battery, the
print out of the battery test results must be
attached. |
STARTER
TEST PROCEDURE
1. |
After the battery test, press ENTER
immediately for the starter test.

|
2. |
After pressing ENTER key, start the
engine.

|
3. |
Cranking voltage and starter test results
will be displayed on the screen.
Take a relevant action according to the test
results by referring to the starter test results as given
below.

|
4. |
To continue charging system test, press
ENTER. |
STARTER TEST RESULTS

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 and fully charged" 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.
|
CHARGING
SYSTEM TEST PROCEDURE
1. |
Press ENTER to begin charging system
test.

|
2. |
ENTER button is pressed, the tester displays
the actual voltage of alternator.
Press ENTER to test the charging
system.

|
3. |
Turn off all electrical load and rev engine
for 5 seconds by pressing the accelerator pedal.

|
4. |
Press ENTER.

|
5. |
The MICRO 570 analyzer charging system
output at idle for comparison to other readings.

|
6. |
Take a relevant action according to the test
results by referring to the table below after shutting off the
engine and disconnect the tester clamps from the
battery.

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 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
