The Micro 570 Analyzer
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.
※ When charging battery by test result, Battery must be fully
charged.
To get accurate test result, battery surface voltage must have
subsided ahead before test when you test battery after charged. (See
following Battery Test Results)
|
Keypad
The Micro 570 button on the key pad provide 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-VEHICLE" or
"OUT-OF-VEHICLE". Make your selection by pressing the arrow buttons;
then press ENTER.
|
|
3. |
Select CCA and press the ENTER button.
|
• |
CCA : Cold cranking amps, is an SAE specification
for cranking batteried at -0.4°F (-18°C).
|
|
|
|
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 will conduct battery test.
|
|
6. |
The tester displays battery test results including voltage and
battery ratings.
Refer to the following table and take the appropriate action as
recommended by the Micro 570.

Remedy
|
GOOD BATTERY
|
No action is required.
|
GOOD RECHARGE
|
Battery is in a good state.
Recharge the battery and use.
※ You have to follow instruction below when you charge battery
and retest, otherwise test result can be inaccurate. (See ‘Charge
and Retest method after battery charge’ below.)
|
CHARGE & RETEST
|
Battery is not charged properly.
|
- |
Charge and test the battery again.
|
※ You have to follow instruction below when you charge battery
and retest, otherwise test result can be inaccurate. (See ‘Charge
and Retest method after battery charge’ below.)
|
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.
|
- |
If the Micro 570 recommends "REPLACE BATTERY",
replace the battery and recheck the charging system.
|
|
[Charge and Retest method after battery charge]
Battery charge
Set battery charger to ‘Auto Mode’ (The Mode that charging current
drops as the battery charges.) and charge battery until charging current
down close to zero or the charger alerts you with an alarm when charge
is complete.
(Minimum charging time recommended: More than 3 hours with Auto
Mode that explained above)
| A. |
If battery is not fully charged, battery surface voltage
will be high while the amount of current charged (CCA) in battery
is low. If you measure the battery under this condition, tester
may misjudge that battery sulfation occurred because the amount
of current in battery is too low in comparison with battery
voltage.
* Surface voltage: When battery is charged electrolyte
temperature increases and chemical reaction become active resulting
in an excessive increase of battery voltage.
It is known that it takes approximate one day to subside
this increased surface voltage completely.
|
Battery Test after charge
Do not test battery right after the charge. Test battery after
battery surface voltage has subsided as instructed in the following
procedure.
|
(1) |
When battery charge is complete, install the battery in
the vehicle.
|
|
(2) |
Put IG key to ON position and turn on head lamp with low
beam, and wait 5 minutes. (Discharge for 5 minutes)
|
|
(3) |
Turn off the head lamp and IG key, and wait 5 minutes.
(Waiting for 5 minutes)
|
|
(4) |
Remove +, - cable from the battery and test battery.
|
|
• |
Whenever filing a claim for battery, the print
out of the battery test results must be attached.
|
|
Starter Test Procedure
|
|
7. |
After the battery test, press ENTER immediately for the starter
test.
|
|
8. |
Start the engine.
|
|
9. |
Cranking voltage and starter test results will be displayed on
the screen.
Refer to the following table and take the appropriate action as
recommended by the Micro 570.
Starter Test Results

System shows a normal starter draw.
|
CRANKING VOLTAGE LOW
|
Cranking voltage is lower than normal level.
|
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 BATTERY" 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.
|
|
|
• |
When testing the vehicle with old diesel engines,
the test result will not be favorable if the glow plug
is not heated. Conduct the test after warming up the
engine for 5 minutes.
|
|

The MDX-670P Analyzer
The MDX-670P battery conductance and electrical system analyzer tests
batteries as well as starting and charging systems for vehicle.
It displays the test results in seconds and features a built-in printer
to provide a copy of the results.
| 1. |
Because of the possibility of personal injury, always
use extreme caution and appropriate eye protection when working
with batteries.
|
| 2. |
When charging battery by test result, Battery must be
fully charged. To get accurate test result, battery surface
voltage must have subsided ahead before test when you test battery
after charged. (See following Battery Test Results)

|
When testing the vehicle with old diesel engines, the
test result will not be favorable if the glow plug is not heated.
Conduct the test after warming up the engine for 5 minutes.
|
|
|
1. |
Connect the red clamp to the positive (+) terminal and the black
clamp to the negative (–) terminal.
|
• |
For a proper connection, rock the clamps back
and forth. The tester requires that both sides of each
clamp be firmly connected before testing. A poor connection
will produce a CHECK CONNECTION or WIGGLE CLAMPS message.
If the message appears, clean the terminals and reconnect
the clamps.
|
|
|
|
2. |
Scroll to and select IN VEHICLE or OUT OF VEHICLE for a battery
not connected to a vehicle.
|

|
3. |
Scroll to and select REGULAR FLOODED, AGM FLAT PLATE, or AGM SPIRAL
where applicable.
|
• |
If the vehicle equipped with ISG function, select
the AGM FLAT PLATE.
|
|
|
|
4. |

|
• |
Mostly, the CCA value is marked on the battery
label, but sometimes marked EN or SEA value. Select
one of them.
|
|
| A. |
CCA: Cold Cranking Amps, as specified by SAE. The most
common rating for cranking batteries at 0 ºF (–17.8 ºC).
