CAUTION

Only use the device on DC circuits that do not exceed 42 V.
Do not use AC circuits.
Do not use any components of the car’s ignition system.
Before using the device, check the vehicle’s electrical wiring and disconnect any part or system sensitive to current pulses such as airbags, electronic control modules, etc.
After you finish checking the vehicle, make sure to restore all disconnected connections.
Always follow the procedures listed in your vehicle’s instruction manual before disconnecting any part of the electrical circuit.
Not following these recommendations can result in serious personal injury or damage to your instruments or vehicle.

HOW TO SET UP THE TESTER

Remove the battery compartment cover on the receiver and transmitter (you will need to unscrew the screw on the back of the transmitter). Insert a 9 V battery (not included) into each of the two units, then close the battery compartments (screw it shut on the transmitter).
Set the transmitter’s switch to TONE. A red LED light will turn on. If the light doesn’t turn on, check the transmitter’s battery.
Switch on the receiver, then set the intensity switch to the middle position. Press and hold the TEST button and move the sensor close to the test wires of the transmitter. If the receiver makes an audio signal, both units are operational.

WIRE TRACING AND LOCATING OPEN CIRCUITS

Connect the black test wire to the circuit’s positive power supply (or to the negative for vehicles with a positive supply connected to the chassis). Then, connect the red test wire to the wire you wish to trace.
Set the rotary switch on the receiver to the middle position. Press and hold the TEST button and move the probe as close as possible to the wire you wish to trace. Make sure you hold the sensor at a 90° angle to the wire for optimal results.
The receiver will give off an audio signal when close to the wire. Trace the wire by following the signal with the sensor. If you move away from the wire, the audio signal will weaken and then disappear.
You will find an open circuit when the signal breaks while tracing a wire.
If you have difficulty finding a signal, or if the signal is weak, increase the sensitivity by turning up the rotary switch.
When you finish testing, disconnect the test wires and release the TEST button on the receiver.

CHECKING FOR SHORT CIRCUITS

Remove the power and all the loads from the wire you wish to check.
Turn the transmitter’s ON/OFF switch to CONT and connect the two test wires to the wire.
If the green LED on the transmitter lights up, the wire is shorted.
