1. Safety Precautions and Warnings
To prevent personal injury or damage to vehicles and/or the test tool,
read this instruction manual first and observe the following safety
precautions at a minimum whenever working on a vehicle:
●Always perform automotive testing in a safe environment.
●Wear safety eye protection that meets ANSI standards.
●Keep clothing, hair, hands, tools, test equipment, etc. away from all
moving or hot engine parts.
●Operate the vehicle in a well ventilated work area: Exhaust gases are
poisonous.
●Put blocks in front of the drive wheels and never leave the vehicle
unattended while running tests.
●Use extreme caution when working around the ignition coil, distributor
cap, ignition wires and spark plugs. These components create hazardous
voltages when the engine is running.
●Put the transmission in PARK (for automatic transmission) or
NEUTRAL (for manual transmission) and make sure the parking brake is
engaged.
●Keep a fire extinguisher suitable for gasoline/chemical/ electrical fires
nearby.
●Don’t connect or disconnect any test equipment while the ignition is
on or the engine is running.
●Keep the tool dry, clean, free from oil/water or grease. Use a mild
detergent on a clean cloth to clean the outside of the test tool, when
necessary.

ƔWhen the power switch in the tool is depressed battery current/voltage
is conducted directly to the tip which may cause sparks when contacting
ground or certain circuits. Therefore the tool should NOT be used around
flammables such as gasoline or its vapors. The spark of an energized tool
could ignite these vapors. Use the same caution as you would when using
an arc welde

2.4 General Description
Thank you for purchasing the Diagnostic Electronic Circuit
tester. The tool is the best electrical tester for reducing diagnostic time in all
6 to 30 volt vehicle electrical systems. After a simple hook-up of the tool to
the vehicle's battery, you can:

●determine at a glance if a circuit is positive, negative, or open without
having to reconnect clips from one battery pole to another.
●test for continuity with its built-in auxiliary ground lead.
●by depressing the power switch, conduct a positive or negative
battery current to the probe tip for testing the function of an electrical
component without the use of jumper wires.
●test for poor ground contacts instantly without performing voltage
drop tests. The tool is also short-circuit protected; its internal circuit
breaker will trip if it becomes overloaded.
●follow and locate short circuits without wasting fuses. The tool's long
cable allows you to test along the entire length of the vehicle without
constantly searching for suitable vehicle grounds.
2.5 Power
The tool is powered via the vehicle battery. Connect the RED battery
clamp to the POSITIVE terminal of the vehicle‟s battery, and the
BLACK clamp to the NEGATIVE terminal.
2.6 Quick Self-Test
Before you test a circuit or component, be sure your tool is in good order
by doing a quick self-test.
With the tool connected, perform a quick self-test. The power switch is a
momentary rocker switch located on the tool's body. Flanking the switch
are positive and negative markings.
Press the Power Switch forward to activate the tip with a positive
voltage. The Red LED should light and the LCD display will read the
battery voltage.

Press the Power Switch rearward to activate the tip with a negative
voltage. The Blue LED should light and the LCD display will read the
“0.0V” (ground).
Your tool is working correctly and is now ready for use. (Figure 2)

IMPORTANT:
When powering-up components, you can
increase the life of power switch in the tool if you first press the
switch, then contact the tip to the component. The arcing will take
place at the tip instead of the contacts of the switch.
2.7 Circuit Breaker
The tool is short-circuit protected. Its internal circuit breaker will trip if
it becomes overloaded. The circuit breaker is a valuable test tool as well
as a safety measure to protect the tool from overload.
When circuit breaker tripped, All other functions of the tool are still active,
which means you can still probe a circuit and observe the voltage reading.
When the circuit breaker is tripped, the tool will NOT be able to conduct

battery current to the tip even when the power switch is pressed.
Intentionally tripping the breaker and using the tool to probe can be
considered an added precaution against accidental pressing of the power
switch.
2.8 Work mode
There are four modes to diagnose the electrical systems, which can
be accessed by depressing the Mode Button and cycling through each
one.
DC voltage
While the tool in this mode, contact the probe tip to a circuit, then the LCD
display will read the DC voltage with a resolution of 0.01 volt.(Figure 3)
