Performing a System Test
The following tests are performed consecutively by the BPC-Tool during the system test:
- Battery test
- Starter test
- Alternator test
- No-load current test
NOTICE
A blue amp clamp (CP 700) is required for the complete system test. Without an amp clamp, the current intensity is not measured during the starter and alternator tests. The resistor test is not applicable at all.
Proceed as follows to perform the system test:
- Connect the BPC-Tool to the battery (see operating instructions for the BPC-Tool).
- Insert the electrical plug connection of the clamp meter into the ST3 connector of the BPC-Tool with the arrow pointing up.
