THE MICRO 570 ANALYZER
The MICRO  570 Analyzer provides  the  ability  to test the  charging and starting systems,  including  the  battery, starter
and generator.
Because of the  possibility of personal injury, always use extreme caution and appropriate eye protection  when
working with  batteries.
KEYPAD
The MICRO570  button  on the  key  pad provides  the  following functions  :
BATTERY TEST PROCEDURE
1.Connect the  tester to the  battery.
a. Red clamp to battery positive  (+)  terminal.
b. Black clamp to battery negative  ( - )  terminal.
Connect clamps  securely.  If  "CHECK  CONNECTION"  message is displayed on the  screen, reconnect  clamps
securely. 
Page 142 of 1575
2.The tester will  ask  if the  battery is connected "IN A VEHICLE"  or "OUT  OF  A VEHICLE". Make your  selection  by
pressing  the  arrow buttons;  then  press ENTER.
3.Choose either CCA or CCP and press the  ENTER  button.
a.CCA : Cold cranking  amps, is an SAE  specification for  cranking  batteries at - 18°C  (0°F).
b. CCP : Cold cranking  amps, is an SAE  specification for  korean manufacturer's for  cranking  batteries at -
18°C  (0°F).
4. Set the  CCA value  displayed on the  screen  to the  CCA value  marked on the  battery label by pressing  up and
down  buttons and press ENTER.
The battery ratings(CCA)  displayed on the  tester must  be identical to the  ratings  marked on battery label.
5. The tester (Micro570)  displays battery test results  including  voltage and battery ratings.
A relevant  action must  be given  according to the  test results  by referring to the  battery test results  as shown in  the
table  below. 
Page 143 of 1575
The battery ratings  (CCA)  displayed on the  tester must  be identical to the  ratings  marked on battery label.
6. To  conduct starter test, press ENTER.
BATTERY TEST  RESULTS
RESULT  ON PRINTER REMEDY
Good battery No action is required
Good recharge Battery  is in  a  good state
Recharge the  battery and use
Charge & Retest Battery  is not  charged properly
=>  Charge and test the  battery again (Failure  to charge
the  battery fully  may read  incorrect measurement value)
Replace battery =>  Replace battery and recheck the  charging system.
(Improper connection between  battery and vehicle cables
may cause "REPLACE  BATTERY",  retest the  battery
after  removing cables and connecting the  tester to the
battery terminal  directly  prior  to replacing the  battery)
Bad  cell- replace =>  Charge and retest the  battery. And  then, test results
may cause "REPLACE  BATTERY",  replace battery and
recheck the  charging system
Whenever  filing a  claim  for  battery, the  print  out  of the  battery test results  must  be attached.
STARTER TEST PROCEDURE
1.
After the  battery test, press ENTER  immediately for  the  starter test. 
Page 144 of 1575
2.After pressing  ENTER  key, start  the  engine.
3.Cranking  voltage and starter test results  will  be displayed on the  screen.
Take a  relevant  action according to the  test results  by referring to the  starter test results  as given  below.
4.To  continue  charging system  test, press ENTER.
STARTER TEST  RESULTS
RESULT  ON PRINTER REMEDY
Cranking  voltage normal System  shows a  normal starter draw
Cranking  voltage low Cranking  voltage is lower  than  normal level
=>  Check starter
Charge battery The state  of battery charge is too  low to test
=>Charge the  battery and
retest
Replace battery =>  Replace battery
=>  If  the  vehicle is not  started though the  battery
condition  of "Good and fully  charged" is displayed.
=>  Check wiring for  open circuit, battery cable  connection,
starter and repair  or replace as necessary.
CHARGING  SYSTEM TEST PROCEDURE
1.
Press  ENTER  to begin charging system  test. 
Page 145 of 1575
2.ENTER  button  is pressed, the  tester displays the  actual voltage of generator.
Press  ENTER  to test the  charging system.
3.The MICRO  570 will  prompt you to rev  the  engine  until the  rev  detected. It  will  then  collect the  data.
4.Press  ENTER.
5.The MICRO  570 will  analyze the  charging system  output  at idle  for  comparison  to other readings. 
Page 146 of 1575
6.The MICRO  570 will  detect the  amount of ripple from the  charging system  to the  battery. Excessive ripple usually
means  the  stator is damaged  or that one or more generator diodes  have  failed.
7.The MICRO  570 will  prompt you to turn on accessary loads. It  will  then  test at idle  and prompt you to rev  the
engine. The analyzer  will  determine if the  charging system  can provide enough current for  the  demands of the
vehicle's electrical  system.
When asked to turn of the  accessory loads, turn of the  blower  to high(heater), the  high beam beadlights, and
rear  defogger. DO NOT use cyclical loads  such as air conditioning or wind- shield wipers.
8. After the  test, the  MICRO  570 will  display the  idle  voltage, load voltage and the  state  results.

CHARGING SYSTEM TEST  RESULTSRESULT  ON PRINTER REMEDY
Charging system  normal/Diode  ripple normal Charging system  is normal
No charging voltage Generator does  not  supply charging current to battery
=>  Check belts,  connection between  generator and battery
Replace belts or cable  or generator as necessary
Low charging voltage Generator does  not  supply charging current to battery and electrical
load to system  fully
=>  Check belts and generator and replace as necessary
High charging voltage The voltage from generator to battery is higher  than  normal limit
during  voltage regulating.
=>  Check connection and ground and replace regulator  as necessary
=>  Check electrolyte  level in  the
battery
Excess ripple detected One or more diodes  in  the  generator is not  functioning properly
=>  Check generator mounting and belts and replace as necessary
