GENERAL OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Charging the Battery:
1) Fasten the wall rack to a wall near a 110/120 VAC outlet which has a non-interrupted
power supply. Damage will result to the charger if it is subjected to power surges from
an outlet which is being turned off and on at a main switch.
2) Remove test leads from the tester prior to recharging.
3) Remove the red plastic cap from the receptacle marked BAT. RECHARGE.
4) Plug the recharging cord into the wall outlet and the other end into the receptacle on
the rear of the tester. The ON light will glow red.
5) Place the tester in its wall rack - recharge time from fully discharged to fully charged
can take up to 12 hours. The recharge circuit will automatically shut off when the
battery is fully charged.
NOTE: When not in use, the tester should be stored in charge mode to keep the battery
fully charged. This will ensure consistency in test readings and will not affect the battery
or its ability to deep discharge (the battery is not a NICAD type battery).
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO USE THE TESTER WHEN IT IS BEING RECHARGED.
Operation of the Tester:
1) Remove the tester from its wall rack and disconnect the battery recharging cable.
2) Plug the Static Ground strap into the receptacle marked STATIC GROUND on the top of
the tester and ground the tester either directly to earth ground or to yourself (ie. by a
wrist strap). Failure to ground the tester will result in the operator receiving static
shocks from the Voltage Control knob on the front of the tester.
3) Plug the Ground Return lead into its receptacle.
4) Make sure the voltage adjust control is turned fully counter-clockwise.
5) Plug the High VoltageTest lead (the red test lead with the red handle) into its banana jack.
6) Turn the tester on by pressing the ON button. The green light beside the ON button
will light to signify operation. The tester will run for approximately 30 seconds and
automatically shut off. If you wish to extend the on time, every time you press the
ON button it resets the 30 second ON duty cycle.
7) Turn the Voltage Adj. control clockwise to increase the voltage output of the tester.
NOTE: a) The High Voltage Test Lead has a rounded metal end on the probe to minimize
corona discharge. Modifications of this probe end will result in corona discharge
which will reduce the test voltage available from the tester and can also produce
erroneous current readings.
b) The Ground Test Lead is a shielded cable and should not be replaced or modified
as this will affect the accuracy of readings displayed on the tester meters.
c) The clip on the underside of the tester can be used as a belt hook to allow the
tester to be carried in a"hands free"way for use in the warehouse, stores yard,
or field troubleshooting situations.
