3 .4 General Description
The tool is designed to reduce diagnostic time on all 6 to 30-
volt vehicle electrical systems. After a simple hook-up of the
tool to the vehicle's battery, you can:
• Determine at a glance if a circuit is positive, negative, or open
without having to reconnect clips from one battery pole to another.
•
Test for continuity with the built-in auxiliary ground lead.
• By depressing the power switch, conduct a positive or negative
battery current to the probe tip for testing the function of an
electrical component without the use of jumper wires.
• Test for poor ground contacts instantly without performing voltage
drop tests. The tool is also short-circuit protected; the internal
circuit breaker will trip if it becomes overloaded.
• Follow and locate short circuits without wasting fuses. The tool's
long power cable allows you to test along the entire length
of the vehicle without constantly searching for suitable vehicle
grounds.
3 .5 C onnectin g to Power
The tool is powered via the vehicle battery. Connect the RED battery
clamp to the POSITIVE terminal of the vehicle's battery, and the
BLACK clamp to the NEGATIVE terminal. When the tool is first
connected to a battery (power source), it will sound a beep and the
LED inspection Lights will be on to illuminate the test area of the
probe tip.
3 .6 Self-Test
Before you test a circuit or component, be sure your tool is in
good order by doing a quick self-test.
Press the Power Switch forward to activate the tip with a positive
voltage. The Red LED should light and the LCD display will read
the battery voltage. A beep tone will sound. Let go of the power
switch and the LED will tum off and the tone will cease.
