MODES
The Power Probe 3EZ has been designed to work the same
as the previous Power Probe circuit testers. Using the ad-
vanced features and modes is optional. However, understand-
ing them will expand your diagnosing capabilities. The LCD
display indicates voltage levels of the circuit along with an
identifying symbol showing you what mode it is in. The addi-
tional features contain 5 new modes which give you specific
information about how the circuit is reacting.
The 5 Modes menu can be accessed by depressing the right
Menu button. Then press the left button to select the needed
test mode. Once the desired test mode is highlighted on the
menu screen, press the right Mode button to enter that test
mode.
Mode #1 Voltmeter Mode: While the PP3EZ is in “Voltmeter
Mode” and the probe tip is floating (not contacting a circuit),
the display will show “DC VOLTS.” If the audio tone is turned
on you will see a speaker symbol in the lower part of the dis-
play. Once you contact the probe tip to a circuit the LCD dis-
play will indicate the average voltage level of the circuit. The
red/green polarity indicator (See section Red/Green Polarity
Indicator and Audio Tone) will respond also, showing whether
the circuit is positive or negative. A secondary feature in this
mode is the peak to peak threshold detection and signal mon-
itoring. When contacting a signal generating circuit such as a
speaker wire with audio signals on it, the PP3EZ detects the
peak to peak signals and displays the peak to peak voltage
