READING THE DISPLAY
VOLTAGE PROBE
SOUND
BATTERY
An arrow shows the direction of current flow for currents over 1 amp (1 A).
Follow the current flow around the fence using the current direction arrows.
A large drop in the reading indicates that you have gone past a fault.
The last current reading will be displayed briefly in the top right of the screen
before changing to the fence voltage.
Press the voltage probe against an energizer terminal to view the voltage.
Note, when used in close proximity to an energizer or cell phone, the current
reading may be incorrect.
When the sound is turned on, the Fault Finder will beep at every fence pulse.
The number of beeps and the pitch indicate the size of the current pulse. This
can be particularly useful when measuring the currents in different branches at a
junction point and when not able to see the display.
To switch the audio current indicator on or off:
1. Move the Fault Finder well away from the fence so that no fence pulse can be
detected.
2. Press and hold
. Either
or
will be displayed.
After 10 seconds the Fault Finder will beep and will change.
Release
immediately after changes.
When flashes, the battery in the Fault Finder will soon need replacing.
When displays, the battery is flat and needs replacing with a new 9 V battery.
Replacing the battery
1. Remove all 5 screws from the case back.
2. Unclip the old battery and replace with a new 9 V battery.
3. Replace the case back and all 5 screws, taking care not to trap the battery
leads under the screws.
