The 

Amp Hound 2™

 is the next level of simplicity and speed in hand-held 

automotive current (amperage) measuring tools. This is a revolutionary method of 

current measurement that now makes it possible to determine the amount of cur-

rent in a fused circuit, 

in real time

, without removing the fuse.

With the proprietary Audible Current Locator (ACL)* function, it is now possible 

to read fluctuating current in real time and troubleshoot parasitic drain problems 

without removing power from the circuit! Reading current (amperage) amounts, 

finding rogue power drains and identifying active/inactive circuits in hard to access 

or unlabeled fuse boxes is now greatly simplified.

The user simply places a standard set of test leads across the top of the fuse or 

attaches an included fuse adapter to the fuse. The Amp Hound 2™ ACL feature 

then analyzes the circuit and provides the appropriate tone based on the type of 

circuit found. In the case of a live circuit (3 quick beeps), the amperage information 

is instantly revealed in the numeric display. If there is no current, the user will hear 

1 quick beep.
