Page 3: Voltmeter Mode
VOLTMETER MODE U Carry out the following operations: 1 Connect the power clamps on the device to the battery terminals, the device will turn on and indicate the battery voltage on the display 2 Switch the device to Voltmeter mode by pressing (This mode is selected by default when starting the device) 3 Take measurements using the test lead, with the device connected to the vehicle earth, and using this lead alone. - Page 4 DIFFERENTIAL VOLTMETER MODE U Carry out the following operations: 1 Connect the power clamps on the device to the battery terminals, the device will turn on and indicate the battery voltage on the display 2 Switch the device to Differential voltmeter mode by pressing 3 Take measurements using the test lead, the device will automatically display the voltage difference between the point measured and the reference value.
- Page 5 MODE AMPEREMETRE U Connect the power clamps on the device to the battery terminals, the device will turn on and indicate the battery voltage on the display Switch the device to Ammeter mode by pressing 3 Take measurements using an ammeter clamp (not supplied), check that the clamp is on and at the appropriate rating (refer to the manufacturer manual), read the result on the display 222.
- Page 6 AUTOMATIC TEST LINE MODE This mode can be used to locate an unsatisfactory connection. This mode is used if a difference in potential is detected between one of the battery terminals and a point which should be connected. In this case, the device calculates the resistance between the point measured and the reference (battery).
- Page 7 WHICH MODE SHOULD BE USED? Here are a few examples of measurements taken with the EXXOTEST MX100: Measuring a probe voltage Measuring a supply voltage Measuring an "earth" Measuring a voltage drop triggered by a ...
- Page 8 INTERPRETING POLARITY LEDS INDICATIONS FOR MEASURING POLARITY MODES. Voltage measured using the test lead: 100% of battery voltage If the red LED is on: Measurements are taken with reference to the battery plus terminal. 50% of battery voltage If the green LED is on: Measurements are taken with reference to the battery earth.
