AUTO SHUTDOWN FEATURE
To preserve battery life, the MUTT ® enters a Sleep mode if inactive after 20 minutes
with the power On.
• A sound is emitted every 10-20 seconds to inform the operator of the condition.
• Activation of any test mode takes the MUTT ® out of Sleep mode.
CABLE TESTING
The MUTT ® has a special cable feature to test 7 round pin cables for continuity. The
cable testing feature can be used to test a tractor’s cable or the supplied MUTT ® cable.
It is recommended that all cables be tested prior to the MUTT ® operation.
TEST PROCEDURE
PRIOR TO CABLE TESTING:
To avoid erroneous fault, be certain the 7 pins in each plug are clean and spread to the
proper size.
• Insert each end of the cable into both side connectors on the MUTT ® .
Be sure to push the cable ends in firmly until they reach the bottom of the connector.
• Turn main power switch to desired power supply.
• Once the power is selected, the green lights around the Control Knob will blink and
disappear one at a time until only the Ground Integrity light remains solid green. Once
the initial check has been performed, poor cable conditions will be shown by a blinking
light for the problem circuit.
• If the cable has an open circuit or continuity problem, the corresponding circuit
flashes repeatedly.
• Further testing can be performed by selecting each circuit individually via the Control
Knob or Remote. When an open circuit is detected, the LED for the circuit will flash
and an audible alert will be heard.
NOTE: Always check the MUTT ® connector pins at the side of the MUTT ® for proper ex-
pansion. Over time, the pins may bend in slightly resulting in a poor connection between
the connector and the cable ends. A flat head screwdriver can be used to expand the
pins until the a tight connection is made.
