General Technologies CT8002 Professional Cordless Circuit Tester - Manual

1. SAFETY RULES
•
This circuit tester is designed for indoor use at temperatures between 0°C to 40°C
and altitudes up to 2,000m.
• To ensure that the Circuit tester is used safely, follow all safety and operating instruc-
tions in this operation manual. If the tester is not used as described in this operation
manual, the safety features of this instrument might be impaired.
• Do not use the tester if the instrument looks damaged ,or if you suspect that the
tester is not operating properly.
• When using the instrument, keep your fingers on the metal barrel, between the plastic
parts of the body.
• Make sure power is off before cutting, desoldering, or breaking the circuit wires. Small
amounts of current can be dangerous.
• Do not use in circuits more than 28 VDC or with AC powered circuits.
• To avoid electrical shock, use CAUTION when working above 30V DC or 25V AC
rms. Such voltages pose a shock hazard.
• To avoid electrical shock or damage to the circuit tester meter, do not exceed the
input limits.

A - Hold tester by metal body and place free hand on a bare
(grounded) metal part of the vehicle.
B - Place tester point into connector or wire (pierce insulation if
nessesary).
C - Tester will light, buzz and vibrate when a positive voltage is
detected.
4.3 V-Groove Probe Tip Protector
• To prevent injury always insert the V-Groove protector tip on
the tester point before carrying or storing the unit.
• Use the V-grove protector tip when piercing wires to prevent
the tester point from side-slipping on the wire and causing
injuries or damage.
• The protector tip may be removed for testing in hard to reach
places inside connectors, sockets, etc.
5. MAINTENANCE
5.1 Battery Replacement
The batteries supplied with the tester will provide years of service
under normal use. When the sound and light start to fade,
•
Remove the screw and pull out the plastic pointer assembly.
•
Extract the batteries and insert new ones “type Duracell
MN9100” or equivalent, observing the polarity (negative side
goes in first).
•
Insert tester point assembly aligning the holes and replace the
screw.
