Ground Switching A Circuit Having An Electrical Load - Power Probe BASIC Instruction Manual

Power Probe Basic
GROUND SWITCHING A CIRCUIT HAVING
AN ELECTRICAL LOAD
Contact the probe tip to the circuit that you want to switch ON by
applying ground. The RED LED should light, indicating the circuit has a
positive feed through the load.
While keeping an eye on the RED LED, quickly depress and release
the power switch rearward (-). If the GREEN LED came on, you may
proceed with further activation.
If the GREEN LED did not light during the test, or if the circuit breaker
tripped, the Power Probe BASIC has been overloaded. This could
happen for the following reasons:
• The tip is connected directly to a positive circuit.
• The component is short-circuited internally
• The component is a high current component (i.e., starter motor).
If the circuit breaker tripped, it'll automatically reset after it cools for a
brief period. (typically 2 to 4 seconds)
