How To Use The Ect3000 In Diagnosing Circuits - Power Probe ECT3000 User Manual

How to Use the
Connection Accessories:
Included in the ECT3000 are the following connection accessories.
• Alligator Clip: for connecting onto any conductor such as a wire or a terminal.
• Blade Probe: for tapping into fuse socket terminals and connectors.
• Back Probe: for back probing connectors.
• Piercing Probe: for tapping into wires by piercing through the insulation.
• Light Bulb Socket Adapters: 3 common types for connecting easily to light bulb socket
terminals. There are times when the short or open tail or brake light circuit is located nearer to the
bulb socket. It is here where you may find it much easier to diagnose the circuit by injecting a signal
into the light socket directly.
• Universal Wire Adapter: for making your own custom connector.

Fig.1 There are times when a short or open circuit is located
closer to the tail light or brake light circuit. It is here where you
may find it much easier to diagnose the circuit by injecting a
signal into the light socket directly. The bulb socket adapters
provide a quick and easy way to connect to bulb socket termi-
nals.
Fig.2 Other times it maybe necessary to inject the signal at the
fuse panel using the flat blade adapter.
Fig.3 Using the alligator clip adapter on an already exposed
wire or the piercing probe are other options.
