The AEC 132-0137 (6043) Amp-Probe may also be used independently of the 6044. Plug the insulated jacks into a standard digital Multimeter and
set the meter for DC millivolts (mV); the Amp-Probe reads 1mV = 1 Amp. If the Amp-probe needs to be used for AC current just set the Multimeter
to ACV (AC volts).
6044 TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS:
•
Was the unit connected with the correct polarity?
•
The unit needs at least 7.5V from the battery to operate correctly if the voltage drops below this level the display may go blank or have an
erratic display.
•
Is the battery in the Amp-probe good?
•
Is the unit displaying “HOT” it will not run the battery test when the unit is hot, let cool?
•
The differential leads(external leads) and the amp-probe are zeroed at power up if a voltage or current is present at this time then those
values are considered zero, and can cause errors in further readings by those devices/items. The zero value can be checked by installing
the amp-probe and pressing the zero button and connecting the differential leads and then shorting them together then placing the unit in
the display mode. This is done by pressing Select Test [2] until the starter LED is lit, then pressing Start Test [4] button (starter Led will be
flashing) and then pressing the up arrow. At this time the values in the amp and voltage display should be reading very close to zero. If
not, leave the amp probe and differential leads as they are and disconnect the unit from the battery and reconnect (resetting power to the
unit) this should zero the devices.
