INTRODUCTION
Congratulations. You have purchased a precision instrument
manufactured to the highest quality standards. This Digital
Automotive Tester is a general-purpose instrument designed
for use in general electronics, home electrical applications,
and automotive electrical/electronic systems.
This tester is designed to test or measure AC voltage, DC
voltage, DC current, AC current, resistance, diodes, continu-
ity, frequency, duty cycle, pulse width, rpm and temperature.
Please take the time to read these operating instructions thor-
oughly and completely. Failure to follow these instructions may
result in electrical shock, instrument damage and/or damage
to the equipment under test. Always use extreme caution
when working on or around electrically operated equipment.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS/
WARNINGS
Do not
operate this tester before reading this manual in its
entirety. The following guidelines must be followed to avoid
accidents that can result in electric shock or personal injury.
Pay close attention to
WARNINGS
stamped on the front
and rear of the tester’s case. These warnings, as well as all
warnings and precautions used through out this manual, must
be followed to avoid electric shock and/or personal injury.
The RESPONSIBLE PARTY shall be made aware that, if
the equipment is used in a manner not specified by the
manufacturer, the protection provided by the equipment may
be impaired.
Before using any of the functions on this tester, verify its
proper operation on a known similar function source where
the unit value is also known. Take corrective action based
on the indicated results.
To prevent electrical shock and/or damage to the tester or the
equipment under test, observe the following safety precautions:
DO NOT apply more than the rated voltage, as marked on
the tester, between terminals or between any terminal and
earth ground.
Use caution when working above 30V AC rms, 42 V peak,
or 60 V DC. Such voltages pose a shock hazard.
To avoid false readings that could lead to possible electric
shock or personal injury, replace the battery as soon as the
low battery indicator
displays.
