The FERVE F-814 is a professional 12V battery tester designed for comprehensive assessment of automotive batteries and charging systems. This device accurately measures battery charge level, starting capacity, and verifies the proper functioning of the alternator. It is suitable for lead-acid batteries with capacities between 32 Ah and 180 Ah. This manual provides essential information for safe and effective operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting.
Sikkerhedsoplysninger
WARNING: Working with batteries can be dangerous. Always follow these safety precautions.
- Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment, including safety glasses and gloves, when working with batteries.
- Sørg for tilstrækkelig ventilation i arbejdsområdet for at forhindre ophobning af eksplosive gasser.
- Rygning og åben ild må ikke forekomme i nærheden af batterier.
- Undgå kontakt med batterisyre. Skyl straks med vand, og søg lægehjælp, hvis det kommer i kontakt med batterisyre.
- Connect the tester correctly: positive (+) to positive, negative (-) to negative. Incorrect connection can damage the tester or battery.
- Do not use the tester on damaged or leaking batteries.
- Hold testeren væk fra fugt og ekstreme temperaturer.

Betjeningsvejledning
1. Test af batteriopladningsniveau
This test measures the open-circuit voltage of the battery to determine its state of charge.
- Ensure the tester is correctly connected to the battery as described in the "Setup" section.
- Læs bindtage displayed on the digital screen.
- Refer to the following table for approximate charge levels:
| Voltage (12V batteri) | Omtrentlig afgift |
|---|---|
| 12.70 V eller højere | 100 % |
| 12.40 V | 75 % |
| 12.20 V | 50 % |
| 12.00 V | 25 % |
| Below 12.00 V | Udskrevet |
2. Battery Starting Capacity (Load) Test
This test simulates the load on the battery during engine cranking to assess its ability to deliver high current.
- Ensure the tester is connected to the battery.
- Press and hold the "STOP" button (or equivalent load switch) for approximately 10 seconds. The tester will apply a 250A discharge.
- Bemærk voltage reading on the digital display during the load test.
- A healthy battery should maintain a voltage above 9.6V during the 10-second load test. If the voltage drops significantly below this, the battery's starting capacity is weak and may need replacement.
- Release the button after 10 seconds. Allow the battery to rest for a few minutes before retesting or performing other tests.
3. Alternator Function Test
This test verifies if the vehicle's alternator is properly charging the battery.
- With the F-814 connected to the battery, start the vehicle's engine.
- Let the engine idle. The voltage reading on the tester should be between 13.8V and 14.7V.
- Turn on various electrical loads (headlights, fan, radio, etc.) and observe the voltage. Voltage should remain within the healthy range.
- Hvis voltage is consistently below 13.8V (undercharging) or above 14.7V (overcharging), there may be an issue with the alternator or voltage regulator.
Opretholdelse
The FERVE F-814 battery tester requires minimal maintenance.
- Tør testeren af efter hver brug og rengør den.ampmed en ren, tør klud for at fjerne snavs, fedt eller rester af batterisyre.
- Opbevar testeren et tørt, køligt sted, væk fra direkte sollys og ætsende materialer.
- Undersøg kablerne og koblingerneampKontroller regelmæssigt for tegn på skader, flosning eller korrosion. Udskift om nødvendigt.
- Do not attempt to open the tester casing or perform internal repairs. Refer to qualified service personnel for any malfunctions.
Fejlfinding
| Problem | Mulig årsag | Løsning |
|---|---|---|
| Tester display does not light up. | Incorrect connection; Battery completely discharged; Damaged cables/clamps. | Ensure correct polarity (+ to +, - to -). Check battery voltage with a multimeter (if possible). Inspect cables for damage. |
| Unøjagtig voltage aflæsninger. | Poor connection to battery terminals; Corroded battery terminals. | Sørg for, at clamps are securely attached. Clean battery terminals thoroughly. |
| Voltage drops too quickly during load test. | Svagt eller svigtende batteri. | Battery may need charging or replacement. Consult a professional if unsure. |
| Alternator test shows incorrect voltage. | Faulty alternator or voltage regulator; Loose alternator belt. | Have the vehicle's charging system inspected by a qualified mechanic. |
