1. Important Safety Information
To prevent personal injury or damage to vehicles and/or the test tool, read this
instruction manual first and observe the following safety precautions at a minimum
whenever working on a vehicle:
◆Always perform automotive testing in a safe environment.
◆Wear safety eye protection that meets ANSI standards.
◆Keep clothing, hair, hands, tools, test equipment, etc. away from all moving or hot
engine parts.
◆Operate the vehicle in a well ventilated work area: Exhaust gases are poisonous.
◆Put blocks in front of the drive wheels and never leave the vehicle unattended
while running tests.
Use extreme caution when working around the ignition coil, distributor cap, ignition
wires and spark plugs. These component create hazardous voltages when the
engine is running.
◆Put the transmission in PARK ( for automatic transmission) or NEUTRAL (for
manual transmission) and make sure the parking brake is engaged.
◆Keep a fire extinguisher suitable for gasoline/chemical/ electrical fires nearby.
◆Don’t connect or disconnect any test equipment while the ignition is on or the
engine is running.
◆Keep the tool dry, clean, free from oil/ water or grease. Use a mild detergent on a
clean cloth to clean the outside of the test tool, when necessary.
◆When the power switch in the tool is depressed battery current/voltage is
conducted directly to the tip which may cause sparks when contacting ground or
certain circuits. Therefore the tool should NOT be used around flammables such as
gasoline or its vapors. The spark of an energized tool could ignite these vapors. Use
the same caution as you would when using an arc welder.

2.3 Parts List
2.4 General Description
The tool is the best electrical tester for reducing diagnostic time in all 6 to 30-volt
vehicle electrical systems. After a simple hook-up of the tool to the vehicle’s battery,
you can:
◆Determine at a glance if a circuit is positive, negative, or open without having to
reconnect clips from one battery pole to another.
◆Test for continuity with its built-in auxiliary ground lead.
◆By depressing the power switch, conduct a positive or negative battery current to
the probe tip for testing the function of an electrical component without the use of
jumper wires.
◆Test for poor ground contacts instantly without performing voltage drop tests. The
tool is also short circuit protected; its internal circuit breaker will trip if it becomes
overloaded.
◆Follow and locate short circuits without wasting fuses. The tool’s long cable allows
you to test along the entire length of the vehicle without constantly searching for
suitable vehicle grounds.
2.5 Power
The tool is powered via the vehicle battery. Connect the RED battery clamp to the
POSITIVE terminal of the vehicle’s battery, and the BLACK clamp to the NEGATIVE
terminal. When the tool is first connected to a battery (power source), it will sound a
beep and the Head Lights will be on to illuminate the test area of the probe tip.
2.6 Quick Self-Test
Before you test a circuit or component, be sure your tool is in good order by doing a
quick self-test.
With the tool connected, perform a quick self-test. The power switch is a momentary
rocker switch located on the tool’s body. Flanking the switch are positive and negative

markings.
Press the Power Switch forward to activate the tip with a positive voltage. The Red
LED should light and LCD display will read the battery voltage. A beep tone will sound.
Let go of the power switch and the LED will turn off and the tone will cease.
Press the Power Switch rearward to activate the tip with a negative voltage. The
Green LED should light and the LCD display will read the 0.0V (ground). A beep tone
will sound. Let go of the power switch and the LED will turn off and the tone will cease.
Your tool is working correctly and is now ready for use. ( Figure 1)
Figure 1
IMPORTANT: When powering-up components, you can increase the life of
power switch in the tool if you first press the switch, then contact the tip to the
component. The arcing will take place at the tip instead of the contacts of the switch.
2.7 Auto Circuit Breaker
The tool is short-circuit protected. Its internal circuit breaker will trip if it becomes
overload. The circuit breaker is a valuable test tool as well as a safety measure to
protect the tool from overload.
When circuit breaker tripped, all other functions of the tool are still active, which
means you can still probe a circuit and observe the voltage reading. When the circuit

breaker is tripped, the tool will NOT be able to conduct battery current to the tip even
when the power switch is pressed. Intentionally tripping the breaker and using the
tool to probe can be considered an added precaution against accidental pressing of
the power switch.
2.8 Work mode
There are four modes to diagnose the electrical systems, which can be accessed by
depressing the Mode Button and cycling through each one.
DC voltage
While the tool in this mode, contact the probe tip to a circuit, then the LCD display will
read the DC voltage with a resolution of 0.1 volt. (Figure 2)
Figure 2
AC voltage
While the tool in this mode, contact the probe tip to a circuit, then the LCD display will
read the Max. voltage, the Min. Voltage and frequency (Figure 3).
Figure 3
Resistance
While the tool in this mode, contact the probe tip to a circuit, then the LCD display will
read the resistance between the tip and auxiliary ground lead. (Figure 4)

Diode
In this mode, the probe tip contact the positive terminal of the diode, connect the
auxiliary ground lead to the negative terminal of the diode, the screen will display the
forward voltage drop, indicates the forward bias. If exchange the probe tip and
auxiliary ground lead, the screen will not display the voltage, indicates the reverse
bias.

3. Operating Instructions
3.1 Voltage & Polarity Testing
While the tool is in DC Voltage mode, contact the probe tip to a POSITIVE circuit. The
red LED will light and the LCD displays the voltage with a resolution of 0.1V. A beep
tone will sound.
If contact the probe tip to a NEGATIVE circuit, the green LED will light and the LCD
displays the voltage with a resolution of 0.1V. A beep tone will sound.
If contact the probe tip to an OPEN circuit, neither of the LED will light. (Figure 6)

3.2 Continuity Testing
While the tool is in Resistance mode, using the probe tip with chassis is ground or the
auxiliary ground lead, continuity can be tested on wires and components attached or
disconnected from the vehicle’s electrical system.
When the probe tip is contacting a good ground, the LCD will indicate “0.0Ω” and
green LED will be on. A beep tone will sound (Figure 8).
Figure 8
In other cases, the LCD only indicates the resistance value. (Figure 9)
Figure 9
If the resistance value is greater than 100KΩ, the LCD will show “0L”.
