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. |

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. |

|
The state of
battery charge is too low to test
-
|
Charge the battery and
retest | |
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 hold engine
at 2000rpm for 5 seconds by pressing the accelerator
pedal.

|
4. |
Press ENTER.

|
5. |
