Breaks/shortings detection. Testing cables. The CONT mode
This application allows to control cables, fuses, light bulbs, etc. for current conduction. Touch one of the ends
of a tested object with the measurement pin and grab the other end of the object with you hand. If there is a
break in conduction FAZER will not react. A long cable ruptured inside its insulation - drive a metal pin inside
the cable at a certain distance from one its ends and check for conduction. By moving the pin you can find the
rupture location.

Determining the sequence of wires in a group of conductors - the CONT mode
This application allows to identify wires in large groups of conductors. Example: determining of the sequence
of wires is necessary e.g. when we have two cable boxes (A and B) with several wires of repeated colours
coming out of them.
- take a wire with unique colour in box A and B as the point of reference;
- in the box A, attach any wire to the wire of reference and try to detect it in the box B with the CONT test, and
then assign a sequential number to it (here, 2); - repeat it with remaining wires.
17
Verification of earthing - the PHASE mode
With this application you can roughly determine the quality of earthing of home devices connected to 220 V
grid. If a metal housing of a washing machine, a refrigerator, etc. is properly earthed, then FAZER will not
react in the PHASE mode. If FAZER reacts it means that the device's earth may not be enough, which may
lead to electric shock. FAZER's positive reaction will not always indicate danger (induced fields). However,
no reaction confirms correct earthing.

Working/Malfunction test. Searching for a rupture. The CONT mode.
With this application you can find a damage location in electric devices. Grab one of the pins of the power
cable's plug with one hand and touch the plug's other pin with the Fazer's measurement pin in order to check
for the continuity of conduction. You can locate a break inside the device by successively checking assembly
points with the Fazer's measurement pin outwards. Note: there must not be 220V voltage nearby since it will
disrupt the test.

0/1 detection in digital circuits in the VOLT mode
When operating in the VOLT mode, Fazer has the ability to find "0" or "1" in digital circuits. The Fazer's
activation threshold in the VOLT mode is approx. 1.5 V. Touch the assembly board (power supply zero) with
your second hand. Fazer's measurement pin will detect gate bias (0/1).
20
DC voltage detection - identification of "+" and "-" in the VOLT mode
This application allows to detect direct voltage levels from 2.5 V to 60 V. Grab the power supply's "-" of a
tested device with one hand. Using Fazer's measurement pin you can search for places with positive direct
voltage. Pole identification is done by changing the electrodes grabbed with the hand (or places on the
device). General rule: Fazer will react if there is positive voltage (U>2.5V) on the measurement pint as
compared with the operator's second hand holding the power supply's "-".
21
Detection of +12V/ground in cars in the VOLT mode
Grab a non-painted element of the car's ground (negative ground) with your hand. In the VOLT mode Fazer
will indicate points with +12V voltage. Note: with high level of air humidity you do not need to touch the car's
body.
