A T T E N T I O N P L E A S E R E A D T H I S
For best performance at the motor checking function use a small lead-acid
battery with 12 Volt and a capacity of at least 17 Ah but not much more.
We recommend a Panasonic lead-acid battery Type LC-RC1217PG.
Do not use a lead-acid battery with more than 40Ah !!!
Do not charge the lead-acid battery during a motor-check !!!
If you use a big automotive battery and check motor with 11 turns or less
the power limit of the Pro-Master will be reached. (Pro-Master message:
„High Power“). In this case you must use a battery with less capacity.
Don´t try a bigger one !!!!!
Safety precautions
This device is not suited for use by children under the age of 14.
The motor support must be placed on a slip-proof surface out of the reach of
small children.
The flywheel must be firmly attached to the motor armature by means of the hex
(Allen) screws.
The safety guard for the flywheel must be attached to the safety mount on the
motor support unit by means of the thumbscrew. See the assembly sketch on
page 7.
During the measuring procedure maintain a safe distance of at least ½ meter
from the motor support unit.
Always ensure that no cables or other moving parts are in the vicinity of the
rotating flywheel.

Pro-Master operating instructions
Setup
Using the motor checking function requires a 12-volt lead-acid battery with a capacity of at least
17 Ah but not much more. We recommend a Panasonic lead-acid battery Type LC-RC1217PG.
Do not use a lead-acid battery with more than 40Ah !!!
Do not charge the lead-acid battery during a motor-check !!!
If you use a big automotive battery and check a motor with 11 turns or less the power limit of the
Pro-Master will be reached. (Pro-Master message: „High Power“). In this case you must use a
battery with less capacity. Don´t try a bigger one !!!!!
For the battery charging function you can instead use a stabilized power supply delivering 5-10
amperes. Connect the supply voltage with the battery clips of the Pro-Master main unit. See
instructions on page 6and the assembly sketch on page 7.
Pro-Master allows you to change the default parameters (see page 12) such as battery simulation
voltage, and the default values can be reset by pressing the [START] key while connecting the
supply voltage.
Pro-Master keys and operation
Description of keys:
[Mode] selection key
[Start] activation key
[+] modification key (increase value)
[-] modification key (decrease value)
Key functions on selection of a function (menu item)
The [Mode] key allows selection of a function from the menu.
Pressing the [Start] key activates the selected function.
Key functions for setting values
The [Mode] key allows selection of a value; a small bar under a value marks the selected
parameter.
The [+] and [-] keys allow modification (increase or decrease, respectively) of the selected
value.
Pressing the [Start] key saves the modified values and terminates setup.

Selecting a function
1. Motor check
-- Main Menu --
1:Motor Check
This menu item allows you to carry out a motor check without a personal computer. The motor data
are output to Pro-Master's own display. Pressing the [Start] key activates the motor check
function, while the [Mode] key lets you move to another function.
2. Battery charging
-- Main Menu --
2:Charge Battery
This menu item invokes Pro-Master's battery charging program and allows you to charge batteries
with a current of up to 10 amperes. Pressing the [Start] key activates the charging function,
while the [Mode] key lets you move to another function.
3. Pro-Master setup
-- Main Menu --
3:Setup Master
This menu item allows you to set the contrast of Pro-Master's multifunction LCD display and the
greeting message. Pressing the [Start] key activates the setup function, while the [Mode] key
lets you move to another function.

Preparing for a motor check
Connect Pro-Master to a 12-volt lead-acid battery with a capacity of at least 17Ah. Do not use a
power supply!
Place the test motor in the mount on the motor support unit. If, due to stickers, the motor is difficult
to place in the mount, the O-rings in the motor mount can be removed. Then attach the flywheel to
the motor armature with the hex key. The black/silver fields on the flywheel must be toward the
motor.
Connect the sensor cable of the motor support unit with the 7-pole plug to the front side of Pro-
Master.
Select Pro-Master's sensor check function to determine the correct position of the test motor in the
motor mount. The distance between the reflex sensor on the motor mount and the flywheel should be
2-4 mm. The sensor check should display a value of at most 30% for a silver field and at least 70%
for a black field.
Next solder the red/black motor cable to the test motor. We do not recommend a plug connection
because the motor's high starting current (up to 120 amperes) combined with the resistance of a plug
connector would cause a measurement error.
Connect the thin red/black measuring cable of the motor cable to the cable of the motor mount.
Next plug the motor cable into the socket marked "Output" on Pro-Master.
Check to assure that the flywheel has been firmly attached to the motor armature with the hex
(Allen) screws.
Check the tightness of the thumbscrew to fasten the test motor.
Then mount the safety cover over the flywheel, attaching the cover to the mounting block with the
thumbscrew.
To preclude the danger of injury by the rotating flywheel, the flywheel must be completely
covered by the safety cover.

Checking the RPM sensor
--Motor Check --
1:Sensor 12.5%OK [Mode] next function
The sensor check function in Pro-Master helps you to determine the correct position of the test
motor in the motor mount. This function tests the distance between the flywheel and the RPM
sensor; this distance should be 2-4 mm. For this test you need to turn the flywheel slowly by hand.
When a silver (reflecting) field passes the RPM sensor, a value should be displayed of at most 30%
and for a black field at least 70%.
