AC Ammeter

The AC Amp measures AC magnitude and flow of
the AC current in a circuit.
1. Connect the Amp Clamp lead to the accessories port on
the Diagnostic Device.
2. Tap AC Ammeter.
3. Select the Amp Clamp range.
4. Follow the on screen directions to zero the Amp Clamp.
5. Place the clamp's jaws around the negative (–) cable.
6. The tester displays the measurement.
7. Tap Back to return to the Digital Multimeter screen.

Ohmmeter

The meter is connected in parallel with the circuit
under test and uses the power supplied by the
analyzer's internal batteries to detect open or
excessive resistance.
Always remove power from the circuit before
connecting the ohmmeter to avoid damaging
the analyzer.
1. Connect the DMM test lead to the analyzer's accessories
port.
2. Tap Ohmmeter.
3. Connect the clamps or probes in the correct polarity: red
probe to positive (+); black to negative (–).
4. The meter will autorange and display the measurement.
5. When finished, press END.
6. Tap Back to return to the Digital Multimeter screen.

Amps Volts

The Volts/Amp meter simultaneously measures
charging voltage and charging current.
1. Connect the Amp Clamp lead to the analyzer's accessories
port.
2. Tap Amps Volts.
3. Select the Amp Clamp range.
4. Follow the on screen directions to zero the Amp Clamp.
5. Place the clamp's jaws around the negative (–) cable.
6. The tester displays the measurement.
7. Tap Back to return to the Digital Multimeter screen.

Temperature

The IR temperature sensor measures the ambient
surface temperature within a range of –20 to 200 °F.
The tool can be used for checking the transmission
for overheating, and the temperature levels of the
heater and air conditioner.
