4.1.
On ButtOn
To turn the unit ON, press ON button until 3 bars are displayed on the screen.
4.2.
fuse VAlue
Press and release this button to scroll through the fuse amperage options.
fuse type
4.3.
Press and release the button to scroll through the fuse types (Mini, Std, Maxi).
Accept fuse DAtA entry
4.4.
Press and hold either the FUSE VALUE or FUSE TYPE until the unit beeps twice and the display is blank.
4.5.
pOWer unIt Off
Press and hold BotH fuse VAlue and fuse tYPe until the unit beeps and turns off. the unit will turn itself off after 10 minutes of
inactivity.
5. OperAtIOn
5.1.
insert test leads into the banana jacks on the side of the tester.
5.2.
fIt/replAce BAtterIes
5.2.1.
Carefully remove the 4 screws from the back cover of the tool.
5.2.2.
Remove the 3 batteries from the battery holder.
5.2.3.
Replace batteries with 3 fresh alkaline AA batteries. Be careful to insert the batteries correctly in the holder using the proper polarity.
5.2.4.
replace the rear cover and 4 screws being careful not to over tighten the screws.
5.3.
pArAsItIc DrAW test
5.3.1.
This test will locate circuits that are flowing current when the vehicle is turned off.
note: it is normal for some vehicle modules to continue to draw current for 20 minutes after the vehicle is turned off before the module
shuts down.
5.3.2.
Some vehicles will power up modules if the key FOB is within 20 feet of the vehicle. Store the key FOB well away from the vehicle
when performing a parasitic test.
5.3.3.
turn the unit on
5.3.4.
Touch the probes to the terminals of each fuse in the fuse panel until you find those that are flowing current.
5.3.5.
An inactive circuit (no current flow) will beep continuously and display (0 0 0).
5.3.6.
An active circuit (current is flowing) will beep 3 times and display an approximate amperage value.
5.3.7.
An open or blown fuse will not beep and will display (- - -).
5.3.8.
use the AmPerAGe meAsurement mode to accurately read the amperage in the active circuit.
5.3.9.
Compare actual amperage reading to vehicle specifications.
5.4.
AMperAGe MeAsureMent
5.4.1.
note the size and amperage value of the fuse in the circuit to be measured.
5.4.2.
Refer to vehicle specifications to verify that this fuse is the correct size and amperage
value for the circuit.
5.4.3.
Use the FUSE TYPE button to scroll to the type of fuse (Mini, Std, or Maxi).
5.4.4.
use the fuse VAlue button to scroll to the amperage value of the fuse.
5.4.5.
If the tester does not list your exact "Fuse Value", Simply enter the value closest to the fuse you are measuring. The accuracy in
this case won't be quite as good but it will be more than sufficient for most troubleshooting operations.
5.4.6.
to accept these settings, press and hold either the fuse tYPe or fuse VAlue button until the tool beeps twice and the display is
blank.
