Page 4: Overview
Overview PWM Power Pro Components 2 – 3 ft 40A Test Leads Tester 2 Removable Power Clips 2 – Alligator Clips Banana Jacks 2 – Female Spade Terminal Probes 1 – Male Spade Power Cable Terminal Probes Tester – Used along with the supplied adapters, connects to the suspect component (stand alone or on vehicle) providing power and measuring current draw. The tester controls the selected Duty Cycle/PWM to the component while monitoring current usage. Power Cable with Banana jacks – When used along with the Removable Power Clips, connects to the vehicle’s battery to supply power to the tester. Banana jacks also allow you to use an alternate power source. Note: Once it is connected to power, the tester turns on automatically and performs a self test (the LED Readout and the Error LED briefly turn on). -

Overview Using the Controls and Connections Heat Sink Output Jack Ground Jack LED Readout Error LED PWM Control Knob Load Polarity Output Switch CAUTION! The Heat Sink can become extremely hot during use. Therefore, avoid contact with your skin or any of the vehicle’s components. Output Jack – Connect the red test lead here. Outputs power or ground to drive the components that already have one side tied to the vehicle wiring. LED Readout—Displays the average current (amperage) the component is using at any duty cycle. Also, when there is an error, it displays a two digit error code (see the rear panel of the tester for a listing of error codes or refer to the Error Code... -
Page 6: Using The Pwm Power Pro
Using the PWM Power Pro Two Wire Testing & Hookup Procedure Use this procedure for any Red Test Lead Tester OUTPUT OUTPUT of the following conditions: – • Bench testing Black Test Lead • Component is still Component connected to the vehicle but is disconnected from the vehicle’s harness. Vehicle Harness Procedure 1. -
Page 7: One Wire Hookup Testing & Hookup Procedure
Using the Power Pro One Wire Hookup Testing & Hookup Procedure Use this procedure for Tester OUTPUT OUTPUT in-circuit testing a Test Lead component connected to a harness. Component Vehicle Harness Procedure 1. Set the Output Polarity Switch to the OFF position and the PWM Control Knob to OFF. 2. Connect the tester’s power cable to the battery. The tester will power up and perform a self test. Once the test is completed, the LED Readout displays a zero. Note: If the unit becomes unresponsive, remove and reconnect the power cable connections to the battery. -
Page 8: Fuse Box Testing & Hookup Procedure
Using the Power Pro Fuse Box Testing & Hookup Procedure Use this procedure for Test Lead OUTPUT OUTPUT fuse box / relay testing. Component Fuse / Relay Tester Procedure 1. Set the Output Polarity Switch to the OFF position and the PWM Control Knob to OFF. 2. Connect the tester’s power cable to the battery. The tester will power up and perform a self test. Once the test is completed, the LED Readout displays a zero. 3. Connect the male spade terminal to a test lead. 4. Plug the test lead into the output jack. 5. Remove the fuse (or relay) and connect the output lead to the component side of the fuse or relay per the vehicle’s shop manual. 6. Set the Output Polarity Switch to + and rotate the PWM Control knob to increase (or decrease) the amount (%) desired to test the component. The amount of current the component is drawing is displayed in the LED Readout. -
Page 9: Total Circuit Demand Testing & Hookup Procedure
Using the Power Pro This procedure uses the same hookup as the Fuse Box Testing Procedure Total Circuit Demand Testing & Hookup Procedure 1. Set the Output Polarity Switch to the OFF position and the PWM Control Knob to OFF. 2. Connect the tester’s power cable to the battery. The tester will power up and perform a self test. Once the test is completed, the LED Readout displays a zero. 3. Connect the male spade terminal to a test lead. 4. Plug the test lead into the output jack. 5. Remove the fuse (or relay) and set the Output Polarity Switch to + and rotate the PWM Control knob to 100%. 6. Probe the component side of the suspect circuit fuse or relay with all of the component(s) turned on (or off, as desired). Determine the demand by reading the amps displayed in the LED Readout 7. Make note of the results and refer to the specifications listed in the vehicle’s... -
Page 10: Error Codes & Specifications
CAUTION! The Heat Sink can become extremely hot during use. Therefore, avoid contact with your skin or any of the vehicle’s components. Over Current — Excessive current draw may be caused by high start- up demand on the component being tested. Start from 0% and slowly increase the current. Over Current can also be caused by failing component or excessive testing run time. Low Battery — The tester detected low battery voltage. Check the vehicle’s battery and/or connections. Ground Jack Inoperable — The tester detected (at power up) that the ground jack is open. The tester is still usable but you must run a separate ground jumper. To correct the error the tester must be sent in to Hickok / Waekon for service Timed Out — To protect the vehicle, the Auto-off time varies with the current. Specifications Power Supply 11–18 VDC Operating Current < 100mA Output Current 0–40A (high side / low side drive Ground Jack 0–40A (unprotected) -
