Damage or injuries caused by non-observance of the manual are excluded from our liability and not covered by our warranty.
Amplifier Probe Figure 1 Figure 2 Features • The Amplifier Probe is designed to identify and trace wires or cables within a group without damaging the insulation. • Works with any Tone Generator to identify wires. • Volume control for increased sensitivity and adjustable to suit work environment. •...
• Depress the round on/off spring-loaded button on the amplifier probe. The volume control switch can be adjusted to suit the environment. Volume can be increased to overcome noise, or decreased to reduce interference. • Touch the tip of the amplifier probe to the insulation of each suspect conductor. •...
Tone Generator Instructions All of the following tests can be performed by using the red and black test leads or the modular plug. NOTE: When using the modular test plug, the polarity test function applies to Lines 1 and 2. The continuity and tone functions ONLY apply to Line 1. •...

• VERIFYING LINES (SWITCH TO "OFF" THEN "CONT") Dial the line to be verified. While the line is ringing, connect the RED lead to the RING SIDE of the line and the BLACK to the TIP. In the "OFF" position, the indicator lamp will flicker "RED and GREEN" when the test leads are connected to the subject pair.

⑤ HOLD Button Press the HOLD button (HOLD annunciator turns on) makes the meter stop updating the LCD display. This mode can be nested in most of the special modes. Enabling HOLD function in automatic mode makes the meter switch to manual mode, but the full scale range remains the same.
Black Resistance Measurement • Switch to OHM range and make sure there is no power in the circuit being measured. Insert the BLACK test lead to the COM and the RED test lead to the "+" terminal. • Connect the test leads to the circuit or device under test and get the reading directly from the LCD.
Continuity Check • Continuity check shares the same configuration with 400.0 Ω manual resistance measurement mode, but with buzzer output to indicate continuity. The buzzer generates a 2 kHz sound whenever the digit number less than 25 Ω. • Because the cycle time of measurement is only 50 ms, the least significant digit will not display.
Diode Measurement • Diode measurement mode shares the same configuration with 4000 V manual voltage measurement mode. • If the test circuit is open or the voltage drop between the two ports of the device (diode) under test are larger than 2 V, the LCD will show "OL". •...
Warranty You can read our warranty terms in our General Business Terms which you can find here: https://www.pce-instruments.com/english/terms. Disposal For the disposal of batteries in the EU, the 2006/66/EC directive of the European Parliament applies. Due to the contained pollutants, batteries must not be disposed of as household waste.
