Cable Faults
The device checks for two cable faults during testing: Open and Short. The
cable faults, explained in Table 7 below, appear in the middle of the LCD
display screen.
Battery Life Indicator
( )
The battery life icon appears in the lower right corner of the LCD display
screen to demonstrate the approximate remaining battery life. A new
battery shows three bars. The number of bars decreases as the battery
is nearing depletion. The icon begins to flash at 4 volts when the battery
needs to be replaced. Results may be unreliable at this point.
Note:
The Snap Shot™ will turn off if the power supply goes out of
regulation from a low battery condition.
Voltage Detected Warning (Voltage!)
The “Voltage!” icon appears in the lower right corner of the display
screen when the voltage detected on a cable exceeds SELV rating of
60 volts peak AC or DC. If the icon appears, the Snap Shot™ should be
disconnected immediately from the source of the voltage.
Note:
The Snap Shot™ continually checks for the presence of voltage
on a connected cable.
