Battery Installation

1. To install the batteries, carefully remove two battery covers screws, remove the battery cover on the bottom of the
receiver 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 ECT receiver, connect the ECT transmitter to the vehicle's battery, turn on the receiver by pressing the "Power
On/Off / Sense High" button. Place the "Open & Short Pick-Up" of the receiver on top of the green signal lead. The receiv-
er should detect the open circuit signal and indicate this by the open circuit LED indicator flashing and pulsing a beeping
tone.
To test the receiver for the "Short/Grounded Circuit signal"
connect the green signal lead to the negative post of the bat-
tery. 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 receiver should detect the
"Grounded Circuit signal" and show the direction to ground by
the "Direction to Short or Ground" indicators.

Pulse Mode

When you first turn on the receiver it enters into "Pulse Mode".
"Pulse Mode" is great for the initial detection of the transmit-
ting signal. You can also get a feel for the strength of
the transmitting signal.
As you place the "Open and Short Pick-Up" near a transmit-
ting signal, an LED indicator will blink repeatedly along with
an audible beep.
