 only for use with 2V - 24V Dc systems.
 Do not apply voltage or current to the probe that
exceeds the specified maximum of 24V Dc.
 Do not use with industrial 110V systems.
 Do not use on any circuit directly or indirectly
connected to Ac lines or any other Ac power source.
 Do not use with any component or circuits of the
vehicle’s ignition system.
 Before using this device, check the vehicle’s electrical
wiring and disconnect any part or system sensitive to

time saving tool for the automotive electrician and
mechanic. connects to a vehicle’s own battery and
reaches all corners of the vehicle with 5mtr cable.
checks for short circuits and bad earths quickly and
easily. tests continuity and polarity using flying lead
and also indicates voltage (2V to 24V) of system on test
using an LED array. Power up components prior to
installation and check in-situ function of components
and accessories allowing fast fault diagnosis. features
integral work light with touch sensitive control.
3.0 basic connections (fig.2).
unroll the unit’s cable. Attach the red battery clip to the
positive (+) terminal on the vehicle’s battery and the
black clip to the negative (-) terminal on the vehicle’s
battery. the test probe will commence a self test for
several seconds, with the buzzer sounding, green test
indicator, red test indicator and the built in work light all
illuminating in sequence.
3.1 QuicK seLf test.
3.1.1 With the battery clips still attached press and hold down
the power switch (7) in the single bar ‘PositiVE’
position.the test indicator (5) should illuminate rED.
3.1.2 Press and hold down the power switch (7) in the
double bar ‘nEGAtiVE’ position. the test indicator
should illuminate GrEEn.
3.1.3 the unit is now ready to use. if the test indicator did
not illuminate, the cause may be that the battery clip
connections are poor or the unit is damaged.
3.2 WorK LiGHt operation.
With the battery clips attached, contact the auxiliary
earth lead (10) to the work light touch switch (9) for
about 1 second, then remove. to turn off work light,
contact auxiliary earth lead (10) with work light touch
switch (9) for about 1 second again.
