The barrel insulator can be screwed to various positions:
With the barrel insulator screwed all the way on, a spring
ground may be added to the probe tip to provide ground
contact.
With the barrel insulator screwed most of the way out, the
barrel insulator covers the front component of the probe.
To use the ground accessories
Ground the probe by connecting the alligator ground, the socketed
ground lead or the spring ground which all provide reference for a
ground point. It is necessary to use the barrel insulator in
conjunction with any of the ground accessories so as to avoid
possible short circuit.
To use the general purpose retractable hook tip
Insert the probe hook tip into the barrel insulator to connect it to the
probe tip. Then, connect the hook tip to the point to be tested by
pressing the retractable hook tip body towards the probe body.
To use the probe bracket
The probe bracket can facilitate your circuit testing. Users can place
the probe on the bracket to spare their hands. As shown in the
figures on the next page, insert the probe into the proper hole on
the bracket and connect the probe tip to the point to be tested, then
place the whole equipment to a proper position.
