PST-1000 IMPORTANT OPERATING & SAFETY NOTES
READ BEFORE PROCEEDING WITH TESTS
1. Always work in a well ventilated area. Never start a vehicle’s
engine in an enclosed area.
2. Never smoke or allow any other open flame to come within
25 feet of the vehicle being tested.
3. Always insure that everyone within close proximity of the
vehicle being tested is correctly wearing approved safety /
protective glasses before proceeding with any testing or
adjustments.
4. Always insure that the vehicle’s engine is turned OFF when
connecting or disconnecting any and all test equipment.
5. Always exercise extreme caution to insure that hands, arms,
clothing and tester leads are kept well away from all moving
engine parts.
6. Because the battery may produce highly explosive gases, it
is extremely important that you carefully observe the following
precautions:
A. DO NOT smoke or allow any other open flame or spark
within 25 feet of the battery.
B. NEVER DIRECTLY CONNECT THE POSITIVE AND
NEGATIVE battery posts with any single conductive
material such as a screwdriver, jumper lead, etc. , as this
will cause a short circuit and spark which could result in
an explosion.
7. Battery acid and corrosion can be extremely dangerous and
MUST BE DEALT WITH VERY CAREFULLY.
A. DO NOT allow battery acid or corrosion to come in direct
contact with skin or eyes. If it does, thoroughly wash skin
with warm, soapy water IMMEDIATELY and/or rinse eyes
with clear water for 15 – 20 minute. CONTACT
PHYSICIAN IMMEDIATELY.
B. Extreme caution must be exercised to avoid ingestion of
battery acid or corrosion. If ingestion does occur, drink
large quantities of milk, (DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING).
CONTACT PHYSICIAN IMMEDIATELY.
8. Tremendous back pressure can be developed in the radiator,
and taking the radiator cap off improperly can result in a
sudden release of scalding hot fluid, and subsequent serious
burns. You MUST refer to proper vehicle manufacturer’s
service manual for correct procedure.
9. Before working on a vehicle set the brakes and block the
wheels. Beware of automatic parking brake release. Due to
the inherent dangers with even the simplest automotive
maintenance procedures, the manufacturer and all
parties involved in the distribution and/or sale of this
automotive test product will NOT be held liable or
responsible, wholly OR partially, for ANY injuries,
damages or claims resulting from the performance of
testing or adjustment procedures included in this
instruction guide and/or the use of this automotive test
product.
10. Avoid electrical shocks caused by getting too close to live
ignition wires or touching the coil TACH terminal. A person’s
reaction near a running engine can be more damaging than
the shock itself.
11. Keep spark producing devices at least 18" (0.5m) above the
floor to reduce the hazard of igniting gasoline vapor.
12. Route test leads away from belts and pulleys before starting
engine to avoid damage and possible injury.
13. Remove finger rings and metal wrist bands. They can short
on active current sources and become very hot from electric
current passage and cause sever burns.
The charging system Analyzer is a rugged, professional quality
tool designed for extra heavy duty use. The convenient hook up
and test sequence allows a complete check in minutes of the:
Battery Alternator/Generator
Starter motor Voltage Regulator
Starter Solenoid All Interconnecting cables
With 6 to 24 volts batteries, it is a portable digital readout ana-
lyzer.
OUTSTANDING FEATURES OF THE CHARGING SYSTEM
ANALYZER ARE:
A. Rugged Construction: Designed for an extra heavy duty use
and maximum reliability.
B. Convenient Hook Up: All connections simply clamp on; no
time consuming cable disconnection are required on most
vehicles.
C. Large easy to read 3/4-inch digital displays for both amps
and volts:
1. Voltage Scale ±4V – ±16V for battery, ±0V – ±199.9V for
EXT
2. Current Scales ±0 – ±1999A
3. Good/Bad LED for Alternator Diodes
D. 12,000 watts Carbon pile for battery load testing.
E. An easy control carbon pile load, an inductive “Hall-effect”
amp probe which is plug-in replaceable, a beeping signal for
“time-out”, a high efficiency cooling fan and extra heavy duty
battery terminal clamps and cables
ANALYZER FEATURES
BATTERY CABLES
The Battery Cables do three things:
1. They conduct power to the analyzer from the battery under
test. The analyzer will measure accurately for voltages from
±4 to ±16 volts and ±0 – ±1000 Amps at the battery clamps.
2. They carry the 12,000 watts of resistance load from the
carbon pile stack.
3. They provide battery voltage reading connections when the
display selector is on the battery volts position.
Note: Each load cable has a voltage sensor wire which is inde-
pendent of the extra heavy cable. The battery clamps are color
coded: Red for battery POS (+) and Black for battery NEG (-).
VOLTS DISPLAY AND SELECTOR
This liquid crystal display shows the voltage selected by the switch
below. A ±16.0 volt range with 0.1 volt steps are provided for
Battery Volts and External ±199.9V. If more than ±199.9 volts
are applied, the display will show “1”.
