USING THE AMP PROBE
You will rst be asked to zero out
the Probe. Pressing the “Zero Amp
Probe” on the keypad. Instead of
+00003 A, it should read +00000 A.
You will then be asked to attach the
probe to a particular wire such as
alternator output or starter cable.
In the multimeters test the bottom
two lines will not appear if the Amp
Probe is not connected. In other test
results there may be slightly different
displays.

Direction of Current
in the Alternator and Starter Draw tests you will have two additional
menu options if the AMP Probe is attached on the rear of the tester. If the
menus do not appear the Amp Probe is not attached properly.
The following are examples of use within a test sequence.
The Amp Probe is optional and can be used in the
Alternator and the Starter Draw Test whether they are
individual tests or within each of the system tests. The Amp Probe can
also be used in the Multimeters test. This section explainsthe proper
use of the Amp Probe, but is not required to run any of the tests. It only
provides assured accuracy for those wanting these results.
