Model UT105: OPERATING MANUAL

37

Measurement Operation(21)

(1) Move the Hall sensor out of the automobile and see
     the details of the operation in various kinds of automotive
     manuals.
(2) Connect the positive pole of the 9 V battery to the
     source end of the sensor and the negative pole to the
     ground end of the sensor by referring the details to
     the positions of the source and ground ends of the
     sensor in various kinds of automotive manuals.
(3) Set the rotary switch of the meter to 200

 .  As prompted

     at the LCD connect terminal, insert the red test lead
     into the 

 terminal and the black one into the 

COM

     terminal.
(4) Connect the red and black test lead probes in parallel
     to the signal connect terminal and ground end of the
     sensor and the Meter should display a small ohm value.
(5) When a metal plate (blade, steel tape, etc.) is inserted
     into a concave magnetic pole of the sensor, the display
     of the meter will be enlarged or overloaded; if the metal
     plate is moved away, the display will become smaller,
     which proves that the sensor is satisfactory.
