Battery Installation
1. To install the batteries, remove the battery cover on the back of the housing and insert (2) AAA batteries into the
battery compartment. Be sure the polarity of the batteries are correct then replace the battery cover.
Testing the SMART Receiver
To test the SMART receiver, connect the SMART transmitter to the vehicle’s battery, turn on the SMART receiver by
pressing the “Power/Sensitivity Lock” button. Place the “Open & Short Pick-Up” of the receiver on top of the green
signal lead. The SMART receiver should detect the open circuit signal and indicate this by the open circuit LED indi-
cator fl ashing and pulsing a beeping tone.
To test the SMART receiver for the “short/Grounded Circuit signal” connect the green signal lead to the negative post
of the battery. Then you can test the Grounded Circuit signal by
placing the ”Open & Short Pick-Up” of the receiver parallel to
the green signal lead. The SMART receiver should detect the
“Grounded Circuit signal” and the show the direction to ground
by the “Direction to Short or Ground” indicator.
Pulse Mode
When you fi rst turn on the SMART receiver it enters into “Pulse
Mode”. “Pulse Mode” is great for the initial detection of the
transmitting signal. You can also get a feel for the strength of
the transmitting signal.
As you place the “Open and Short Pick-Up” near an transmit-
ting signal, an LED indicator will blink repeatedly along with
an audible beep.
The SMART receiver has 7 sensitivity levels. You can sense
each level by observing and listening to the slight increase in
pulse frequency as you slowly lower the receiver nearer to the
transmitting circuit. The closer you place the “Open and Short
Pick-Up” to the transmitting signal, the faster it will pulse.
Pulling the receiver away from the transmitting signal it will pulse slower.
No signal zone
(no pulse) Weak signal zone
(slow pulse) Strong signal zone
(rapid pulse)
