a) Voltage testing in ppHM
:
Voltage testing is as easy as contacting the probe tip to a
circuit and reading the display. There is no need to select the
voltmeter before probing because the PPH does that for you
automatically. The PPH also provides both the battery source
voltage and the probe tip voltage on the display screen for
easy voltage comparing.
To test for voltage in PPHM:
1. Take note of the preference parameters in the display.
2. Contact the probe tip to a voltage potential.
3. Take note of the difference between VOLT and BATT on
the display.
If the voltage difference is within the LED Voltage Drop Prefer-
ences, the Red LED will light and the HOT SHOT symbol will
be present.
If the voltage difference is greater than the LED Voltage Drop
Preferences, the LED will not light.
4. Voltage is measured from 0 to 99.9 volts.
IV - pOwEr prOBE HOOk MODE (ppHM)
In PPHM the “Smart Tip Advantage” gives you several new powerful tools to help you fix electri-
cal problems faster than any other circuit tester in its class. Why?
Because it automatically selects the:
RIGHT METER and the RIGHT FUNCTION for the RIGHT CIRCUIT condition.

b) resistance testing in ppHM:
Resistance testing is as easy as contacting the probe tip to
a circuit or a component and reading the display. There is no
need to select the Ohm Meter before probing because the
PPH does that for you automatically. It will also auto-range the
decimal point.
To test for resistance in PPHM:
1. Contact the probe tip to a circuit or component with
resistance to ground.
Resistance is measured and displayed from 0 to 15 megohms.
It is necessary to connect the ground lead to a chassis or other
common ground point to accurately measure 2 Ohms or less.
This will eliminate voltage drops within the 20 ft cable and
improve the accuracy.
