Testing and trou-
ble shooting
In case of doubt about the cor-
rect operation of the battery
splitter the following test can be
carried out using a simple mul-
timeter or voltmeter.
First check if wiring is connect-
ed as indicated in the diagrams
and that the minus terminals of
all batteries are interconnected.
Measure the voltages as indi-
cated in the diagrams on page
59.

The engine is stopped, a possible battery charger
is switched off.
Carry out measurement A (B+ALTERNATOR).
Is the measured voltage equal to 0 Volt?
Carry out measurement B (battery voltage).
Is the measured voltage equal to the battery
voltage (e.g. 12,4 Volt) ?
Start the engine or switch on the battery charger.
Carry out measurement A and measurement B.
Do all measured voltages increase gradually?
See page 16, (2).
