MinuteMan Plus A.R.B.S.T. (with cart)

Item Number: OTC3131 Supplier: BOSCH AUTOMOTIVE SERVICE SOLUTIONS

Description

Test discharged batteries down to as low as 2 volts, and it won't drain a charged battery you are testing. You won't waste time charging bad batteries.

Features

All 12 volt automotive-type batteries with cold cranking amp ratings of 100 - 1500. Tester operates from either 100 volts AC or its own internal rechargeable 6 volt battery.
Self-calibration, an internal battery check and an automatic shutdown to reduce power consumption.
On certain competitive carbon pile load battery testers, the technician must interpret the readings, then make the electrical system diagnosis. With MinuteMan Plus, all you have to do is read simple test results on the LCD display.
Displays cranking volts and amps, and indicates either "Good Starter" or "Bad Starter".
Checks the charging system at high r.p.m.s and at idle and stores the data. Results show regulator volts, peak amps and diode condition. Utilizes wave form analysis when testing alternator diodes, which provides more accuracy than the commonly used "ripple voltage" tests.
Unique, patented direct-from-battery technology gives you tachometer readings without having to make complicated connections to ignition systems (on most applications). Provides battery-sensing measurements to 4,000 r.p.m., with 1 r.p.m. resolution.

Warranty

Three years on computer processing unit. One year on balance of parts, excluding test leads, displays, external battery charger, gel cell battery and cables, which carry a 30 day warranty.

Use the following formula to figure your Return of Investment (ROI) for A/C Equipment

Revenues
Number of times equipment will be used per month
Dollars charged per use $

Expenses
Number of labor hours
The technician's wage per hour $
Cost of supplies consumed $
Other costs $
Monthly cost of equipment (Lease cost or purchase price divided by 36) * $

Gross monthly profit
Monthly net profit

* Based upon a 3 year period

Use the following formula to figure your Return of Investment (ROI) for Four Wheel Alignment Equipment

Number of four wheel alignment jobs per month:
Amount of revenue from a four wheel alignment job $
Number of two wheel alignment jobs per month
Amount of revenue from a two wheel alignment job $
Average amount of gross parts profit per job $
Monthly lease cost or loan payment for equipment $
Cost of the Equipment $

Monthly gross profit from equipment purchase
Annual gross profit from equipment
Return on equipment investment ratio:*



*The higher the number, the more profitable the equipment. An answer of 1 means that you'll get a 100% return on the equipment over five years. A 100% return over the life of the equipment is the minimum return you should expect on your investment. A return 2 (200%) to 5 (500%) should be your target. An answer less then 1 (e.g., .50) means that you need to sell more jobs or increase the price of the service in order to generate an adequte return on the equipment investment.
