4. Configuración y conexión inicial
Before operating your KONNWEI battery tester, ensure the vehicle's ignition is off and all accessories are disconnected. Follow these steps for proper connection:
- Limpiar los terminales de la batería: Ensure the battery terminals are clean and free of corrosion for a reliable connection.
- Conectar cl rojoamp: Conecte el cable rojo positivo (+)amp del probador al terminal positivo (+) de la batería.
- Conectar Black Clamp: Coloque el cable negativo (-) negroamp del probador al terminal negativo (-) de la batería.
- Encendido: The tester will power on automatically once correctly connected to the battery.
- Select Language (if prompted): If this is the first use, you may be prompted to select your preferred language. Navigate using the arrow buttons and confirm with the ENTER button.
Important: Ensure clamps are securely attached to prevent inaccurate readings or damage. Do not touch the clamps juntos
5. Instrucciones de funcionamiento
Both KW600 and KW210 testers operate similarly with menu-driven interfaces. Use the UP/DOWN arrow buttons to navigate through menu options and the ENTER button to confirm selections. The EXIT/ESC button is used to return to the previous menu or exit a function.
5.1 Common Test Functions
- Prueba de batería: This function assesses the overall health of the battery, including its voltage, internal resistance, CCA value, and State of Health (SOH).
- Prueba de arranque: Measures the battery's ability to provide current during engine startup. It analyzes the cranking voltage y tiempo.
- Prueba de carga: Evaluates the vehicle's charging system (alternator) by checking the output voltage under various load conditions.
- VolumentagePrueba: Provides a real-time voltagy lectura de la batería.
- Waveform (KW600 only): Muestra una representación gráfica del volumentage changes, useful for diagnosing intermittent issues.
5.2 Performing a Battery Test (Example for KW600/KW210)
- Conecte el probador: Follow the setup instructions in Section 4.
- Acceder al menú principal: The tester will display the main menu upon power-up.
- Select "Battery Test": Use the arrow buttons to highlight "Battery Test" (or "Check" on KW600) and press ENTER.
- Seleccione el tipo de batería: Choose the appropriate battery type (e.g., Flooded, AGM, Gel) and press ENTER.
- Valor CCA de entrada: Entra el arranque en frío Amps (CCA) rating of your battery, usually found on the battery label. Use arrow buttons to adjust values and ENTER to confirm.
