5. Istruzzjonijiet Operattivi
Navigate through the menu using the directional buttons and confirm selections with the 'OK' button. Use 'ESC' to go back to the previous screen.
5.1 Test tal-batterija
This function analyzes the battery's overall health, including its State of Health (SOH), State of Charge (SOC), internal resistance, and voltage.
- From the main menu, select 'Battery'.
- Select the battery type (e.g., Regular Flooded, AGM, GEL, EFB) that matches your vehicle's battery.
- Input the Cold Cranking Amps (CCA) rating of your battery. This value is typically found on the battery label.
- The tester will perform the analysis and display the results, including voltage, rated CCA, measured CCA, resistance, SOH, and SOC.

5.2 Test tal-Krankjar
This test evaluates the vehicle's starting system by monitoring the cranking voltage during engine start-up.
- From the main menu, select 'Start'.
- Segwi l-istruzzjonijiet fuq l-iskrin biex tibda l-magna.
- The tester will display the minimum and maximum cranking voltage, along with a graphical representation of the voltage bidla.
- A conclusion (e.g., 'Normal', 'Low') will be provided based on the measured voltage.
