AMPERAGE MEASUREMENT (Snapshot)
Note the size and amperage value of the fuse in the circuit to be
measured. Refer to vehicle specications to verify that this fuse
is the correct size and amperage value for the circuit.
Use the FUSE TYPE button to scroll to the type of fuse (Mini/LP/Micro, Std, or Maxi)
Use the FUSE VALUE button to scroll to the amperage value of the fuse.
If the Fuse Hound does not list your exact “Fuse Value”, Simply enter the value clos-
est to the fuse you are measuring. The accuracy in this case won’t be quite as good
but it will be more than sufcient for most troubleshooting operations.
To accept these settings, press and hold either the FUSE TYPE or FUSE VALUE
button until the tool beeps twice and the display is blank.
Touch the probe tips to the fuse terminals, once reading has been taken remove
leads from fuse and read the amperage value on the display.
The display will alternate between the actual current reading and the fuse values
that were selected. This helps to ensure that the fuse values that were selected
match the actual fuse being tested.
A display reading of “OL” means that the circuit amperage is greater than the Amp
Hound 2 rated capacity.
AMPERAGE MEASUREMENT (Real-time)
Use the FUSE TYPE button to scroll to the type of fuse (Mini/LP/Micro, Std, or Maxi)
Use the FUSE VALUE button to scroll to the amperage value of the fuse.
If the Fuse Hound does not list your exact “Fuse Value”, Simply enter the value clos-
est to the fuse you are measuring. The accuracy in this case won’t be quite as good
but it will be more than sufcient for most troubleshooting operations.
To accept these settings, press and hold either the FUSE TYPE or FUSE VALUE
button until the tool beeps twice or the display is blank.
Connect appropriate fuse adapter leads to Amp Hound 2™ and adapter to desired
fuse or hold traditional leads in constant contact with top of fuse. With connection
established user can begin diagnosis i.e. turn on associated component, wiggle
wires, etc.
The display will show real-time current reading of selected circuit.
A display reading of “OL” means that the circuit amperage is greater than the Amp
Hound rated capacity.
