GxT Ferret 63 DIAGNOSTIC ENGINE ANALYZER - Manual (Page 7)

SETUP STEPS
1. CONNECT ONLY THE BATTERY CLIPS. The Bat-
tery Clips must go to the engineʼs 12 volt battery ter-
minals, red clip to plus, black clip to minus. The model
description will be displayed momentarily.
The analyzer may give you a choice of languages. Once
a language is selected it cannot be changed until the
analyzer power is disconnected.
2. DO THE SETUP. The display will automatically switch
to the Setup function. The SETUP key is only used to
change settings. Use SELECT for selecting choices.
Press START when the correct selection is displayed
which will advance the analyzer to the next Setup item.
There are 4 selections of contrast for the display. More
"=" makes the display darker
This is when the operator tells the analyzer about the
engine.
The ignition type and engine strokes selection are com-
bined. The combinations are of Electronic or Points
Contact, and 2 or 4 Stroke.
Selections are 2,3,4,5,6,8,10,12 CYLinders, and 2 or 3
ROTors.
Select DEGrees, mSeconds, or % (percent)
NDUCTIVE DC AMP PROBE
The reading range is 000 to +/-600 amps DC in 1 amp
steps. Starter and alternator output current measurement
is the primary application. It also allows the measurement
of vehicle accessory currents. Placing the probe on the
battery cable, while the engine is off, and then watching
the change when operating switches allows checking
many loads rapidly. Use AMP ZERO to restore the read-
ing to zero before putting the probe around any wires.
3. Then the Amp Probe reading is zeroed.
The probe should not be around any wires when you
press START. When complete, the analyzer will auto-
matically go to the HARD START test.
4. HOOKUP THE REMAINING LEADS.
Now see that all analyzer leads are connect, and then
run the engine.
If there is not yet an active signal into the coil primary
clip it will show:
The data screen will appear when inputs are active.
5. PRESS ANY TEST KEY.
If the HARD START test screen shows normal read-
ings indicating that the analyzer hookup is working, we
suggest that you do a general ingine review using the
AUTOTEST at the PRINT AUTOTEST key.
If the analyzer resets on its own check that the Bat-
tery clips have good connections. Also, if the engine
has metallic secondary ignition wires, try replacing
the coil to distributor wire for the test with a 10 K to
20 K ohm resistance wire.
