If you connect the clamps in the wrong polarity (positive to negative or negative to positive), the tester
displays CLAMPS REVERSED! Reconnect the clamps correctly.
To make sure both sides of the clamps are gripping the terminals, rock the each clamp back and forth.
A poor connection will prevent testing, and the tester will display the message CHECK CONNECTION.
If the message reappears after you have correctly reconnected the clamps, clean the terminals and
reconnect.
The message WIGGLE CLAMPS can indicate that there is no good connection between the clamps
and the battery posts. This could be because of corrosion on the posts. Wiggle the clamps and
retest.
If there is a problem with the cable resistance the same message can appear. Contact Midtronics for
further action.
Note: When the battery voltage is below 0.5 Volt the message CHECK CONNECTION can appear.
Fully charge the battery and retest.
Setting User Preferences
Before starting your test you may want to customize the use of your analyzer by setting preferences
in the Utility Menu. The menu has settings for the display’s date and time, the contrast and backlight
time, a utility to customize printouts for the optional IR printer, among others.
To conserve the analyzer’s internal batteries, the tester will turn off after 30 seconds of
inactivity.
