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. |

|
No action is
required
|
Good

|
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.
