Dear customer:

e thank you for purchasing the B

and for your trust in our product.

attwatch

Please read these operating instructions carefully, since they contain important information for the application

and especially for your safety.

NOTE:

The illustrations referred to in these operating instructions are listed on the interior pages of the jacket.

INFORMATION FOR USERS OF THE MODEL B

1000:

attwatch

These operating instructions depict the model B

2000 for illustration purposes. In contrast to the model

attwatch

1000, the model B

2000 additionally has an LED display that indicates the voltage or the

attwatch

interior temperature; otherwise the technology of both models is identical (also see the explanations in chapter

3 on this subject).

1. Introduction and functionality

For a better understanding of the B

performance features, here is a short, simplified presentation of the

attwatch

functionality of the vehicle's energy system and battery charging system:

The generator is powered by the engine through a fan belt and thereby generates a voltage that is speed depen-

dent. The voltage produced by the generator supplies the battery and the electricity consumers in the vehicle

with energy (e.g. control devices, lighting, air conditioning). To prevent an overload of the battery at high engine

speeds, a regulator is installed to regulate voltages above approx. 15 volts.

Therefore – in simplified form – the vehicle's entire energy system comprises the following components:

● Generator

● Fan belt

● Battery

● Regulator

● Connections

● Cabling

All of these components are constantly monitored by B

. The B

registers every change and

attwatch

analyzes whether the system is functioning flawlessly. B

communicates the diagnoses resulting from the

attwatch

analysis to the user by means of different, function-specific illuminated displays and in critical cases, it also uses

an alarm signal to alert the user that a part of the system is defective and has to be replaced or repaired. In this

way the B

informs the driver in time before a breakdown that the battery or the energy system should

attwatch

be checked at a car repair shop as soon as possible. At the same time the B

provides detailed, practical

attwatch

information about the source of the flaw and thus reduces a time and cost intensive search for the origin.

While monitoring the entire vehicle energy system, the B

monitors the current battery level not only

attwatch

through the applied voltage but uses an innovative technology that has been patented worldwide – the „deter-

mination of the discharge curve" to display the actual battery level. Therefore the B

can also determine,

attwatch

for example, whether the individual battery cells are functional or not. With a so-called virtual voltage diagram,

where a traditional voltage meter would continue to display the voltage level as "normal", the B

can also

attwatch

recognize whether battery cells are already oxidized. Because in such an event this battery would no longer be

strong enough to start the vehicle.

The illuminated displays of the B

provide the driver with clear information about the condition and

attwatch

possible sources of flaws of the vehicle's energy system. The different displays are explained in the chapters 4

to 7 below in detail.

2. Installation

The installation of the B

is very simple: Connect the plug of the B

directly to the cigarette lighter

attwatch

of your car – and the B

is already operational and can now monitor the entire energy system of the

attwatch

vehicle.

There are two possibilities of attaching the B

to your vehicle. You can either attach the B

directly

attwatch

to a suitable place on the dashboard of your car with the provided double-sided adhesive tape or you can

alternatively install it on the dashboard with the holder included in the package (illustr. 1) in just a few steps.

Here the B

is attached at the upper rectangular surface with the enclosed double-sided adhesive tape.

Then the oval bottom plate is affixed to a suitable spot on the dashboard, also with the enclosed adhesive tape.
