• കുട്ടികൾക്ക് ലഭ്യമാകാതെ സൂക്ഷിക്കുക.

3. Components and Indicators

The FERVE F-91 tester consists of the following main components and indicators:

• പ്രധാന യൂണിറ്റ്: Houses the electronic circuitry and LED indicators.
• അന്വേഷണം: A pointed metal tip for making contact with the positive (+) terminal of the battery.
• അലിഗേറ്റർ ക്ലിപ്പ്: Connects to the negative (-) terminal or a suitable ground point.
• "BATT." Indicators: A series of LEDs indicating the battery's state of charge:
  • -25%: കുറഞ്ഞ ചാർജ്.
  • 50%: Moderate charge.
  • 100%: ഫുൾ ചാർജ്.
• "ALTERN." Indicators: A series of LEDs to assess the alternator's charging performance.
• "DESIGN FERRET" Indicators: Three colored LEDs (Red, Orange, Green) which may indicate additional diagnostic status or a quick check function. (Specific function not detailed in product information, refer to visual cues on the device during operation).

4. സജ്ജീകരണവും കണക്ഷനും

Before performing any tests, ensure the vehicle's ignition is off and all accessories are disconnected.

1. അലിഗേറ്റർ ക്ലിപ്പ് ബന്ധിപ്പിക്കുക: Securely attach the black alligator clip to the negative (-) terminal of the vehicle's 12V battery or a clean, unpainted metal part of the chassis (ground).
2. അന്വേഷണം ബന്ധിപ്പിക്കുക: Carefully touch the pointed metal probe to the positive (+) terminal of the battery.
3. Ensure both connections are firm and free from corrosion for accurate readings.

5.1. ബാറ്ററി ചാർജ് ലെവൽ ടെസ്റ്റ്

To check the current charge level of your 12V battery:

1. Follow the setup instructions in Section 4 to connect the tester to the battery.
2. Observe the LEDs under the "BATT." section on the main unit.
3. The illuminated LED will indicate the approximate charge level:
   • -25% LED: Battery is significantly discharged and requires charging.
   • 50% LED: Battery has a moderate charge. Charging is recommended for optimal performance.
   • 100% LED: ബാറ്ററി പൂർണ്ണമായി ചാർജ്ജ് ചെയ്തു.

5.2. Alternator Performance Test

To assess if your vehicle's alternator is charging the battery correctly:

1. Ensure the tester is connected to the battery as described in Section 4.
2. വാഹനത്തിന്റെ എഞ്ചിൻ സ്റ്റാർട്ട് ചെയ്യുക.
3. Observe the LEDs under the "ALTERN." section.
4. The illuminated LED will indicate the alternator's status:
   • Low/Faulty: If the indicator suggests low output or no charge, the alternator may be faulty or the belt may be slipping.
   • സാധാരണ: Indicates the alternator is charging the battery within acceptable parameters.
   • High/Overcharge: If the indicator suggests high output, the alternator may be overcharging, which can damage the battery.

   Note: The specific labels for "ALTERN." LEDs are not fully clear from the image. Interpret based on the number of illuminated LEDs or specific markings on your device. Typically, a central LED indicates normal, while LEDs to either side indicate undercharge or overcharge.

5.3. "DESIGN FERRET" Indicators

The three colored LEDs (Red, Orange, Green) labeled "DESIGN FERRET" likely provide a quick visual status or additional diagnostic information. While specific details are not provided, generally:

• പച്ച: Typically indicates a good or healthy status.
• ഓറഞ്ച്/മഞ്ഞ: May indicate a warning, caution, or moderate condition.
• ചുവപ്പ്: Usually signifies a fault, critical condition, or immediate attention required.

Observe these indicators in conjunction with the BATT. and ALTERN. readings for a comprehensive assessment.

6. പരിപാലനം

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and accuracy of your FERVE F-91 tester.

• വൃത്തിയാക്കൽ: ഓരോ ഉപയോഗത്തിനു ശേഷവും മൃദുവായതും ഉണങ്ങിയതുമായ തുണി ഉപയോഗിച്ച് ഉപകരണം തുടയ്ക്കുക. അബ്രാസീവ് ക്ലീനറുകളോ ലായകങ്ങളോ ഉപയോഗിക്കരുത്.
• സംഭരണം: Store the tester in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Keep the probe and clip clean and free from debris.
• പരിശോധന: Periodically inspect the cables, probe, and alligator clip for any signs of damage, wear, or corrosion. Do not use the device if any part is damaged.

7. പ്രശ്‌നപരിഹാരം

If you encounter issues with your FERVE F-91 tester, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• No LEDs illuminate:
  • Check that the alligator clip and probe are securely connected to the correct battery terminals.
  • Ensure the battery has at least a minimal charge. The tester requires some voltagപ്രവർത്തിക്കാൻ ഇ.
  • കേബിളുകൾക്ക് കേടുപാടുകൾ ഉണ്ടോ എന്ന് പരിശോധിക്കുക.
• Inconsistent or flickering readings:
  • Clean the battery terminals and the tester's probe/clip to ensure good electrical contact.
  • Ensure connections are firm and stable.
• Alternator test shows "Low" despite a new battery:
  • Verify the engine is running at a stable idle or slightly above.
  • Check the vehicle's alternator belt for proper tension and condition.
  • Consult a professional mechanic if the issue persists, as the alternator itself may be faulty.
