WARNING 

 

Risk of Explosion.

 This equipment has internal arcing and sparking 

parts, which should not be exposed to flammable vapors. This 
equipment is only suitable for installation in a garage having sufficient 
air circulation to be considered a non-hazardous location. 

 

WARNING 

 

Ignition coils produce a very high voltage. To reduce the risks of 
electric shock when conducting RPM tests, DO NOT touch the 
uninsulated ends of the test probes, the ignition coil, or the coil 
terminals when the engine is running. 

 

CONTROLS AND INDICATORS 

1.

 

DCV Function:

  Measures 

DC volts. Auto-ranging from 
0 to 600 volts (10 M

Ω

 

impedance) 

2.

 

ACV Function:

  Measures AC 

volts. Auto-ranging from 0 to 
600 volts (10 M

Ω

 impedance) 

3.

 

Press 

SEL

 button (see item 

19) to select desired function: 

„

 

Resistance Function 

:

 

Measures resistance. Auto 
ranging from 0 to 40M

Ω

 

(40,000,000

Ω

). 

„

 

Continuity Function 

:

 

Tests for continuity be-
tween two points. 

„

 

Diode Function 

:

 For testing diodes. 

4.

 

Frequency Function.

  Measures frequency. One range: 

9.999Hz to 2MHz. 

5.

 

Pulse Width Function:

  Measures the length of time (in 

milliseconds) that a solenoid or actuator is energized (“ON” 
time) during a one-cycle time period. One range: 1 to 999 ms. 

6.

 

Duty Cycle Function:

  Measures the percentage of time 

that a solenoid or actuator is energized (“ON” time) during a 
one-cycle time period. One range: 0.1 to 99.9%. 

7.

 

Temperature Function (Celcius):

  Measures temperature 

in °C. Auto-ranging from -50°C to +400°C. (Optional “K-
Type” thermocouple required).
