THE MICRO 570 ANALYZER

The MICRO 570 Analyzer provides the ability to test the charging and starting systems, including the battery, starter and alternator.

CAUTIONBecause of the possibility of personal injury, always use extreme caution and appropriate eye protection when working with batteries.

  1. Connect the tester to the battery. Red clamp to battery positive (+) terminal. Black clamp to battery negative (-) terminal. CAUTION: 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. NOTE: CCA: Cold cranking amps, is an SAE specification for cranking batteries at 0° F (-18° C). CCP: Cold cranking amps, is an SAE specification for Korean manufacturer's for cranking batteries at 0° 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. NOTE: The battery ratings (CCA) displayed on the tester must be identical to the ratings marked on battery label.
  5. The tester (Micro 570) 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.
  6. To conduct starter test, continuously, press ENTER.
