e) Hot Shot testing in ppHM:
Hot Shot is used to test for certain corroded or resistive
ground connections. Hot Shot also tests for certain corroded
or resistive positive connections.
Hot Shot is intended for power feeds 5 amps or greater only. It
works by briefly activating a circuit for less than 7 milliseconds
with battery positive or battery ground and determines if the
conductivity passes or fails. In order for the circuit to qualify
for Hot Shot testing, it has to be within the LED V DROP
settings. When the circuit is within the LED V DROP settings
the Red or Green LED will light and the Hot Shot Symbol will
appear in the display.
To perform the Hot Shot Test in PPHM:
1. Contact the probe tip to an electrical circuit.
The Red or Green LED must be lit and the Hot Shot
Symbol appears on the right side of the display.
2. Press and hold R (Hot Shot ). The display will show
either PASS or FAIL.

The PPH has a built in two channel Continuity Tester for test-
ing relays and electrical switches. You will also be applying
power to the relay solenoid using the auxiliary ground lead and
the probe tip.
When the 3 wire continuity plug is inserted into the jack, the
Red/Green LED’s are now dedicated to the Continuity Tester.
You can still use the Hook normally to power up or read volt-
age, ohms or amps.
To test a 5 terminal relay in PPHM:
1. Pull the Rubber Cover from the Continuity Jack and
swivel it out of the way.
2. Insert the 3 Wire Continuity Plug into the Continuity Jack.
3. Connect the Black lead to relay terminal #30.
4. Connect the Green lead to relay terminal #87a. (the Green
LED should light)
5. Connect the Red lead to relay terminal #87.
6. Connect the PPH Auxiliary Ground Lead to terminal #86
7. Contact the PPH Probe Tip to terminal #85.
8. Press (+). (the Red LED should light and the Green LED
should go off)
9. Release (+). (the Red LED should turn off and the Green
LED should light)
