TEST MESSAGES
NON 12 VOLT BATTERY DETECTED
You are attempting to test both batteries in a 24-volt system at the
same time. Disconnect the batteries and test each one individually.
INTERNAL ERROR, SERVICE REQUIRED
The analyzer has detected a hardware or software problem. See the
"Patents, Limited Warranty, Service" section for information on
returning the analyzer to Midtronics.
REVERSE CONNECTION
The clamps are connected in reverse polarity: red to negative (–),
black to positive (+).
UNSTABLE BATTERY
Batteries that are very weak or that have just been charged may
have sufficient electrical activity to alter test results. The analyzer will
automatically retest when the battery has stabilized. Fully charged
batteries should stabilize quickly. Weak batteries should be fully
charged, then retested.
CHECK CONNECTION
Reconnect the clamps. Both sides of the clamp must be firmly
connected before testing.
Clean the battery terminals using a wire brush and a mixture of
baking soda and water.
Inspect and clean the clamps. Liberally apply baking soda and
water with a clean cloth and thoroughly rub the jaw and spring.
Use a soft wire brush to remove corrosion buildup. Rinse with
water and let dry.
