Features

The UT659A/UT659D LED tester supports full voltage (85V~265V, 50Hz /60Hz) input, which can be used after powering it up for 1 minute to ensure stable voltage output. When performing a LED test at 30mA/300V, the LED polarity can be automatically identified (short-circuit the positive and negative ends of the test leads continuously for about 5s to switch between automatic identification of polarity and non-automatic identification of polarity), and the output voltage is adaptively adjusted according to the forward voltage drop of the tested LED. The internal chip of the tester has over temperature, overcurrent and overload protection functions.
UT659A

  1. When the toggle switch is placed in the 30mA/300V position, the LCD displays the output voltage and output current.
  2. When the toggle switch is placed in the position for circuit continuity test, the LCD displays the resistance value or OL.

UT659D

  1. When the toggle switch is placed in the 2mA/24V position for single LED lamp bead test, automatic identification of LED polarity is not performed.
  2. The LCD only displays the output voltage.

Measurement Range (Function)

1) 30mA/300V:

Tests the TV backlight, LED lamp and other series circuit of multiple LED lamp beads with automatic identification of LED polarity (Note:
Short-circuit the positive and negative ends of the test leads continuously for about 5s to switch between automatic identification of polarity and non- automatic identification of polarity; in the automatic identification of polarity mode, when the backward impedance for the series circuit of multiple LED lamp beads is too large, which is similar to open circuit for the output of DC 300V, manually change the polarity of the test leads for testing).

2) 2mA/24V:
Tests a single LED lamp bead without automatic identification of LED polarity.
3) : Tests circuit continuity.

Testing the TV Backlight, LED Lamp and Other Series Circuit of Multiple

LED Lamp Beads (UT659A & UT659D)

Automatic Identification of Polarity

  1. Place the toggle switch in the 30mA/300V position and plug in the power cord. The tester defaults to automatic identification of polarity and the “AUTO” symbol on the LCD lights up. Wait for 1 minute to ensure stable voltage output.
  2. Connect the output test leads with both ends of the circuit under test respectively.
  3. The tester automatically identifies the polarity of the circuit and adjusts the positive and negative poles of the output voltage. The multiple LED lamp beads are lit gradually. If a LED lamp bead is not lit, it is damaged.
  4. When the positive and negative ends of the test leads are connected with both ends of the circuit under test in reverse and the backward impedance of the circuit is as large as approximately open circuit, the test output has no response. In this case, manually change the polarity of the test leads for testing.
  5. If the test output still has no response after step 4), the circuit under test is broken.

Non-Automatic Identification of Polarity

  1. In the automatic identification of polarity mode, short-circuit the positive and negative ends of the test leads continuously for about 5s, and the “AUTO” symbol on the LCD screen will go out, indicating switching to the non-automatic identification of polarity.
  2. Connect the positive end of the test leads with the positive pole of the circuit under test, and negative end with the negative pole.
  3. The multiple LED lamp beads are lit gradually. If a LED lamp bead is not lit, it is damaged.

Caution: In the automatic identification of polarity mode, when the tested circuit is connected in parallel with a component or circuit with a lower forward voltage drop, the polarity judgment will be misled. At this time, switch to the non-automatic identification of polarity mode for testing.

Single LED Lamp Bead Test (UT659D)

1. Place the toggle switch in the 2mA/24V position.
2. Connect the output test leads with both ends of the LED lamp bead under test respectively.
3. If the polarity connection is correct and the LED lamp bead is lit, the LED is normal.
4. If the LED lamp bead is not lit, change the polarity of the test leads for testing. If the LED lamp bead is still not lit, the LED is damaged; if the LED lamp bead is lit, the LED is normal (the previous polarity connection is incorrect).

Continuity Test (UT659A)

1. Place the toggle switch in the position.
2. Connect the output test leads with both ends of the circuit under test respectively.
3. When the circuit resistance is ≤100Ω, the LCD displays the resistance value, and when the resistance value is ≤30Ω, the buzzer beeps; when the circuit resistance is >100Ω, the LCD displays OL.

Maintenance and Repair

  1. Cleaning the Casing Clean the casing of the tester gently with a dry cloth. Do not use alcohol or solvent as it is corrosive to the casing, especially the LCD. Please prevent the tester from being wet.
  2. Repair Please contact your seller directly if the following issues occur.
  3. The casing of the tester is broken or the tester is damaged.
  4. The LCD displays abnormally.
  5. Unexpected test data occur under normal use.
  6. The toggle switch does not function normally.
