current to the probe tip for testing the function of an electrical
component without the use of jumper wires.
Test for poor ground contacts instantly without performing voltage drop
tests. The tool is also short circuit protected; its internal circuit
breaker will trip if it becomes overloaded.
Follow and locate short circuits without wasting fuses. The tool's long
cable allows you to test along the entire length of the vehicle
without constantly searching for suitable vehicle grounds.
5. Power
The tool is powered via the vehicle battery. Connect the RED battery
clamp to the POSITIVE terminal of the vehicle's battery, and the BLACK
clamp to the NEGATIVE terminal. When the tool is first connected to a
battery (power source), it will sound a beep and the Head Lights will be
on to illuminate the test area of the probe tip.
6. Quick Self-Test
Before you test a circuit or component, be sure your tool is in good order
by doing a quick self-test.
With the tool connected, perform a quick self-test. The power switch is a
momentary rocker switch located on the tool's body with positive and
negative markings.
Press the Power Switch forward to activate the tip with a positive
voltage. The Red LED should light and LCD display will read the battery
voltage. A beep tone will sound. Let go of the power switch and the LED
will turn off and the tone will cease.
Press the Power Switch rearward to activate the tip with a negative
voltage. The Green LED should light and the LCD display will read the
0.0V (ground). A beep tone will sound. Let go of the power switch and
the LED will turn off and the tone will cease. Your tool is working
correctly and is now ready for use. ( Figure A)
