Sealey BT2002 - Manual

1.1. PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS
 Ensure that there is another person within hearing range and close enough to come to your aid, should a problem
arise when working near a lead-acid battery.
 Wear safety eye protection and protective clothing. Avoid touching eyes while working near battery.
 Have fresh water and soap nearby in case battery acid contacts skin, clothing, or eyes.
 Wash immediately with soap and water if battery acid contacts skin or clothing. If acid enters eye, flush eye immediately with cool, clean running water for at
least 15 minutes and seek immediate medical attention.
 Remove personal metallic items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces and watches. A lead-acid battery can produce a short-circuit current which is high enough
to weld such items to the vehicle and cause severe burns.
 Ensure that hands, clothing (especially belts) are clear of fan blades and other moving or hot parts of engine. Remove ties and contain long hair.
 DO NOT smoke or allow a spark or flame in the vicinity of the battery or engine.
1.2. GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
 Familiarise yourself with the application, limitations and potential hazards of the tester. Also refer to the vehicle manufacturer’s hand book. IF IN ANY DOUBT
CONSULT A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.
 Ensure that the tester is in good condition before use. If in any doubt do not use the unit and contact a qualified electrician.
 Only use recommended attachments and parts. To use unapproved items may be dangerous and will invalidate your warranty.
 Keep tools and other items away from the engine and ensure that you can see the battery and working parts of engine clearly.
 Determine the system voltage before using the tester.
 If the tester receives a sharp knock or blow the unit must be checked by a qualified service agent before using.
 If the battery terminals are corroded or dirty clean them before using the tester.
 Keep children and unauthorised persons away from the work area.
 DO NOT disassemble the tester for any reason. The tester must only be checked by qualified service personnel.
 WARNING! To prevent the risk of sparking, short circuit and possible explosion DO NOT drop metal tools in the battery area, or allow them to touch the battery
terminals.
 DO NOT cross-connect tester to battery. Ensure positive (RED) clamp is to positive terminal and negative (blAcK) clamp is to negative terminal. If battery
symbols cannot be distinguished, remember that the negative terminal is the one directly connected to the vehicle bodywork.
 DO NOT use the tester outdoors, or in damp, or wet locations and DO NOT use in the vicinity of flammable liquids or gases.
 Ensure there is effective ventilation to prevent a build-up of explosive gases.
 DO NOT use the tester for a task for which it is not designed.
 When not in use, store the tester carefully in a safe, dry, childproof location.

complicated connections or interpretation required. Analyses the vehicle’s charging system at rest
and under load to determine condition of the alternator. connect the bT2002 and follow the prompts
on the lcD screen for straightforward answers. Incorporates simple voltmeter for voltage tests and
additional system diagnostics. Rugged construction.
Specification
 WARNING! Ensure that you read, understand and apply the safety and operational instructions before connecting the tester clamps to the battery. Only
when you are sure that you understand the procedures is it safe to proceed with the testing process.
3.1. PREPARATION
 WARNING! Ensure that the vehicle, or battery, is in a well ventilated area before starting to test.
3.1.1. check battery casing for cracks or leakage. If damage is found DO nOT test and replace battery.
3.1.2. clean battery terminals.
3.1.3. If possible, check electrolyte levels and top-up with distilled water as necessary.
3.1.4. unless otherwise specified tests are carried out with all electrical items switched off. Leaving any items on (boot light, interior light, etc.) can result in
expensive misdiagnosis.
3.1.5. confirm that the 9V alkaline battery (supplied) is correctly fitted in the compartment in the rear of the tester.
Note that no results will be displayed until the tester is connected to a vehicle battery.
3.1.6. connect the red clamp to the positive (+) battery terminal and the black clamp to the negative (-) terminal. When the internal battery becomes discharged
the display will read REPLACE INTERNAL 9V DRY BATTERY.
3.1.7. If there is a poor connection the display will read CHECK CLAMPS, otherwise the display will read either BATTERY TEST, SYSTEM TEST or
LANGUAGE.
3.1.8. by pressing the  buttons the display will cycle through the three options. Press the EnTER button when the option you require is displayed.
