Chapter 1 Product Summary 1.1 Product Profile BT-360

Battery

Tester

adopts

currently

the

w orld's

most

a dvanced

conductance testing technology to easily, quickly and accurately measure the actual cold cranking amps capability of the vehicle starting battery, healthy state of the battery itself, and common fault of the v ehicle starting sy stem and charging system, w hich can help maintenance personnel to find the proble m quickly and accurate ly, thus to achieve quick vehicle repair. 1.

Test all automotive cranking lead acid battery, including ordinary lead acid battery, A GM flat plate battery, AGM spir al battery, and Gel battery, etc.

2.

Directly detect bad ce ll battery.

3.

Polarity reverse connection protection, reverse connection w ill not damage the tester or aff ect the vehicle and battery.

4.

Directly test the battery w ith loss of electricity, no need to full charge before testing.

5.

Testing standards include currently the w orld's majority of battery standards, CCA, JIS, DIN, IEC, EN, SA E, GB.

6.

Support multi-languages, customer can se lect diff erent language pac kage, which includes:

English , Russian, Spanish, Fr ench, Ger man, etc. Other

languages can also be customized according to user's n eed. if you need such as Chinese ,Japanese etc , Pls contact w ith us,w e can OEM for you.

1.2 Product Function Main functions of BT-360 battery tester include: battery test, cranking test, charging test and o ther a dditional functions. Battery test is mainly targeted to analyze the battery healthy status to calculate the actual co ld cranking capabi lity of the battery and the aging extent, w hich provide reliable analysis evidence for the test and maintenance of the battery. It notifies the user to replace battery in adva nce w hen the battery getting aged. Cranking test is mainly to test and analyze the starting motor. Through test ing 1

AUTOOL


the actual required cranking current and cranking voltage of the starting motor, it can find out w hether the starting motor w orks fine. There are severa l reaso ns why the starting motor is abnormal: lubricating system fault causing the starting loaded torque increasing or rotor friction of the starting motor causing the increasing friction of the starting motor itself. Charging test is to chec k and analyze the charging sys tem, inc luding generator, r ectifier, rectifier diode, etc., thus t o find out w hether the output voltage of the generator is nor mal, the rectifier di ode w orks fine and the charging current is nor mal. Suppose one of the above mentioned parts is not in normal situation, it w ill lead to over charge or inco mplete charg e of the battery, thus the battery w ill be quic kly dama ged and also greatly shorten the using life of other loaded electrical appliance. Additional functions include: Set language, voltmeter and screen brightness adjustment.

Wh en enter the battery tes t program, sc reen prompts " C h e ck C o nn e ct i o n", do c lean the poles and re- connec t in the right w ay.

Tester has rev erse connec tion protect ion f unction. When c lamps are rev ersely c onnected, tes ter screen w ill not light, but it damages neither the tester nor the automotive load. NOTE:

For parallel connected batteries, break off the cathode

connection first, then do single test to each battery. Suppose cathode connec tion is not cut off, there will b e error in test resul t.
