Apart from applying positive voltage, the technicians 
can also use this unit to provide ground to the  
components. These procedures are as follows:
1.  Contact the tip to the negative pole of the  

component; at this stage, the red LED should be  
on if the component is working correctly.

2.  Push the polarity switch backward and release it 

quickly. If the LED goes from red to green, you may 
proceed with further testing. If the green LED goes 
off or the circuit breaker of the short circuit protec-
tion is tripped, it means it has overloaded. This may 
be caused by the following reasons:

          •  The component is short circuited or it has 

been connected to the ground/ negative  
pole directly.

          •  The component is a high current component.

If the circuit breaker of the short circuit protection has 
tripped, it will reset within 60 seconds.

imPortAnt

Please operate this function using a schematic and 
correct testing procedures because applying voltage 
arbitrarily may cause damage to components.

trAiLer LiGHt test

To test trailer light wiring, you need to follow this  
procedure:
1. Connect the ground test lead to trailer ground.
2.  Probe the tip to the outlet of the trailer; push the  

polarity switch forward, then technician can diag-
nose the function of the trailer light.

voLtAGe test

The technician can also use this unit to assist with 
ground test lead to test the voltage of the circuit.  
However, during the voltage test, do not push the 
polarity switch.
1  If probe tip is floating (not contacting a circuit),  

the red and green LED turn off.

2. If you probe the tip to a positive circuit, the red  

positive sign”+” LED will light and the voltmeter  
displays the voltage reading within 1/10th of a volt.

3. If you contact the probe tip to a negative circuit,  

the green negative sign”-” LED will light. 

LoCAte misFirinG CyLinders

By placing its probe tip next to a spark plug wire or coil 
(DON’T pierce it directly), through capacitive coupling, 
it can sense the high-tension ignition pulses and at the 
same time display a voltage reading. 

Warning: do not ContACt ProBe tiP direCtLy 
to tHe seCondAry iGnition CirCuit.

Properly test each plug wire or coil to help locate  
cylinder misfires.
