Power Probe 3 - Manual (Page 2)

INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing the NEW Power Probe III (PP3). The PP3 is our most revolution-
ary circuit tester to date. The PP3 literally speeds you through the diagnosing of 12 to 24 volt
automotive electrical systems. After connecting the PP3’s clips to the vehicle’s battery, the auto-
motive technician can determine at a glance, the voltage level and the polarity of a circuit with
out running for a voltmeter or reconnecting hook-up clips from one battery pole to the other. The
power switch allows the automotive technician to conduct a positive or negative battery current
to the tip for activating and testing the function of electrical components without wasting time
with jumper leads. And yes, the PP3 is short circuit protected. It tests for bad ground contacts
instantly without performing voltage drop tests. It allows you to follow and locate short circuits
without wasting precious fuses. The Power Probe can also test for continuity with the assistance
of its auxiliary ground lead. With a fl ip of the power switch, you will know at a glance that your
PP3 is functioning without running to the battery as you would otherwise have to do with simple
test lights. The PP3’s 20ft (extendable) cable allows you to test along the entire length of the
vehicle without constantly searching for ground hook-ups. An absolute must for every automo-
tive technician looking for a fast and accurate solution to electrical systems diagnostics.
Before using the Power Probe III please read the instruction booklet carefully.
Warning! When the PP3 switch is depressed battery current/voltage is conducted directly to the tip
which may cause sparks when contacting ground or certain circuits. Therefore the Power Probe should
NOT be used around fl ammables such as gasoline or its vapors. The spark of an energized Power Probe
could ignite these vapors. Use the same caution as you would when using an arc welder.
The Power Probe III and the ECT 2000 are NOT to be used with 110/220-volt
HOME electrical, it is only for use with 12-24-volt systems.
