1. GETTING STARTED with your Presidium Multi Tester III

Powering up your Presidium Multi Tester III

This tester can be powered by either the use of an AC 

adaptor (optional item sold separately) or through the use 

of batteries. If AC adaptor is used, connect one end of 

the AC adaptor to the tester 

(Fig. 1.1).

 and the other end 

directly into an electrical outlet. Please ensure that only 

the adaptor supplied by Presidium is used.

If batteries are used (3 x AAA batteries), take note of the 

positive (+) and negative (-) directions of batteries when 

inserting the batteries into the tester 

(Fig. 1.2).

 The use 

of alkaline batteries is preferred, as it should generally 

give approximately two and a half hours of continuous 

operation, while the use of ordinary batteries will give a 

shorter working life.
