General Information

WARNING

Risk of injury. Follow all warning messages and safety pre‐

cautions. 

Refer 

to

⇒ “1.3 Warnings and Safety Precautions”, page 3

 .

It is not necessary to disconnect or remove the Battery - A- when

using the Battery Tester with Printer - VAS5097A- .
The following Batteries - A- can be tested using the Battery Tester

with Printer - VAS5097A- :
♦ 80 to 499 A cold crank amps according to German Industry

Standardization DIN (Deutsche Industrie Norm). Refer to 

1)

.

♦ 95 to 574 A cold cranking output according to IEC (Interna‐

tional Engineering Consortium)

♦ 136 to 855 A cold cranking output according to EN/ SAE (Eu‐

ropäische Norm/ Standard of Automotive Engineers)

1)  Batteries - A- with cold crank amps greater than 499 A according to DIN can

be tested with the setting for 499 A according to DIN.

The Batteries - A- are tested by being loaded with current that

corresponds to the starter current of a vehicle. Under this load,

the Battery - A- is evaluated and the measured results are output

through the printer.

WARNING

Do not check or charge a Battery - A- when the visual indicator

has »no color or is bright yellow«. Jump starting must not be

used!
There is a risk of explosion during testing, charging or jump

starting.
These Batteries - A- must be replaced.

Note

The Battery - A- temperature must be at least 10 °C.

Caution

♦ Turn off the ignition and all electrical equipment.
♦ Remove the key.

– Check the visual indicator on Batteries - A- with visual indica‐

tor. Refer to

⇒ “2.1.1 Battery with Color Display, Visual Indicator, Check‐

ing”, page 7

 .

– Switch on the Battery Tester with Printer - VAS5097A- . Refer

to

⇒ “2.4.2  Battery Tester with Printer VAS5097A Device De‐

scription”, page 13

 .

– Determine the cold crank amps according to specifications on

the Battery - A- in ampere (A) according to DIN and determine

the Battery Tester With Printer - VAS5097A- adjustment range

using the table. Refer to

⇒ “2.4.4 Cold Crank Amps Table”, page 15

 .

Note

If the Battery - A- does not state this value in DIN but rather in IEC

or EN/SAE, then convert the value using the table (refer to

⇒ “2.4.4 Cold Crank Amps Table”, page 15

 ) or the table on the

Battery Tester with Printer - VAS5097A- .

– Set the cold crank amps with the cold crank amps selector

switch. Refer to

⇒ “2.4.2  Battery Tester with Printer VAS5097A Device De‐

scription”, page 13

 .

– Set the measuring range (80 to 379 A or 380 to 499 A) using

the 

ON/OFF

 switch. Refer to

⇒ “2.4.2  Battery Tester with Printer VAS5097A Device De‐

scription”, page 13

 .

Note

Batteries - A- with cold crank amps greater than 499 A according

to DIN can be tested with the setting for 499 A according to DIN.

tion”, page 13

 . The test program runs automatically. The test

results are output through the printer. Refer to

⇒ “2.4.5 Battery Load Test Results”, page 16

 . If the Battery

Tester with Printer - VAS5097A- does not start, (the LED does not

come on and there is no print out), then charge the Battery - A- .

Refer to 

⇒ “3 Battery, Charging”, page 31

 .

– Switch off the Battery Tester with Printer - VAS5097A- . Refer

to

⇒ “2.4.2  Battery Tester with Printer VAS5097A Device De‐

scription”, page 13

 .

– Remove the test terminals.

Note

The test is over after approximately 20 seconds.

The results of the test are output through the printer.
