6. Bruksanvisning

6.1. Slå på/av

• To turn on the tester, slide the PÅ/AV bryteren til «PÅ»-posisjonen.
• To turn off the tester, slide the PÅ/AV switch to the 'OFF' position.
• 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

1. Slå på enheten ved hjelp av PÅ/AV bryter.
2. Trykk på 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.
3. Carefully insert the battery to be tested into the appropriate contacts on the tester, ensuring correct polarity.
4. LCD-skjermen vil vise gjeldende volumtage and the estimated remaining capacity in percentage.
5. Remove the battery once the reading is stable.

6.3. Tolke resultater

The tester displays both voltage og prosenttage. 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 SETT button and arrow keys to adjust this setting if required for specific testing scenarios. Refer to the display for current test parameters.

7. Vedlikehold

• Rengjøring: Tørk av enheten med en myk, tørr klut. Ikke bruk slipende rengjøringsmidler eller løsemidler.
• Lagring: 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.
