AMPERAGE MEASUREMENT (Snapshot)
Note the size and amperage rating of the fuse being measured.
Refer to vehicle specifications to verify that this fuse is the cor-
rect size and amperage value for the circuit.
Use the FUSE TYPE button to scroll to the type of fuse: Mini, LP, Micro, Std or Maxi
(Refer to specifications on page 7).
Use the FUSE VALUE button to scroll to the amperage rating of the fuse.
If the Fuse Hound 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.
To accept these settings, press and hold either the FUSE TYPE or FUSE VALUE but-
ton until the tool beeps twice and the display is blank.
Touch the probe tips to the fuse terminals, once reading has been taken remove the
leads from the fuse and read the amperage value on the display.
The display will alternate between the actual current reading and the fuse values that
were selected. This helps ensure that the fuse values that were selected match the
actual fuse being tested.
A display of "OL" means that the circuit amperage is greater than the Amp Hound 2
rated capacity.
AMPERAGE MEASUREMENT (Real-time)
Use the FUSE TYPE button to scroll to the type of fuse (Mini/LP/Micro, Std, or Maxi)
Use the FUSE VALUE button to scroll to the amperage rating of the fuse.
If the Fuse Hound 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

To accept these settings, press and hold either the FUSE TYPE or FUSE VALUE but-
ton until the tool beeps twice or the display is blank.
Connect appropriate fuse adapter leads to Amp Hound 2™ and adapter to desired
fuse or hold traditional leads in constant contact with top of fuse. With connection es-
tablished, user can begin diagnosis; i.e., turn on associated component, wiggle wires,
etc. (Refer to the image on page 5.)
The display will show real-time current reading of selected circuit.
A display of "OL" means that the circuit amperage is greater than the Amp Hound
rated capacity.
