Uputstvo za upotrebu

The BM310 provides two primary functions: Battery State Check and Alternator State Check.

1. Battery State Check

With the tester connected to the 12V battery and the engine off, observe the "Battery State" LEDs:

• Full (Green LED): Označava da je baterija potpuno napunjena.
• Middle (Orange LED): Indicates the battery is moderately charged.
• Low (Red LED): Indicates the battery charge is low and may require charging.
• Check before Charge (Green LED): If this LED is lit, it suggests the battery could be charged. If the voltage drops to 10V, the battery may be damaged and cannot be charged.

2. Alternator State Check

To check the alternator's performance:

1. Ensure the tester is correctly connected to the battery.
2. Pokrenite motor vozila.
3. Accelerate the engine to approximately 2000 RPM.
4. Observe the "Alternator State" LEDs:
   • Good (Green LED): Indicates the charging circuit is functioning correctly.
   • Fault (Red LED): Indicates a charging system error. If this light is lit, the alternator voltage may be too high, which could damage your battery.
