Working/Malfunction test. Searching for a rupture. The CONT mode.
With this application you can find a damage location in electric devices. Grab one of the pins of the power
cable's plug with one hand and touch the plug's other pin with the Fazer's measurement pin in order to check
for the continuity of conduction. You can locate a break inside the device by successively checking assembly
points with the Fazer's measurement pin outwards. Note: there must not be 220V voltage nearby since it will
disrupt the test.
0/1 detection in digital circuits in the VOLT mode
When operating in the VOLT mode, Fazer has the ability to find "0" or "1" in digital circuits. The Fazer's
activation threshold in the VOLT mode is approx. 1.5 V. Touch the assembly board (power supply zero) with
your second hand. Fazer's measurement pin will detect gate bias (0/1).
DC voltage detection - identification of "+" and "-" in the VOLT mode
This application allows to detect direct voltage levels from 2.5 V to 60 V. Grab the power supply's "-" of a
tested device with one hand. Using Fazer's measurement pin you can search for places with positive direct
voltage. Pole identification is done by changing the electrodes grabbed with the hand (or places on the
device). General rule: Fazer will react if there is positive voltage (U>2.5V) on the measurement pint as
compared with the operator's second hand holding the power supply's "-".
Detection of +12V/ground in cars in the VOLT mode
Grab a non-painted element of the car's ground (negative ground) with your hand. In the VOLT mode Fazer
will indicate points with +12V voltage. Note: with high level of air humidity you do not need to touch the car's
body.
Testing commutator motors in the CONT mode
Using the CONT mode you can check the continuity of individual windings in a motor. Touch ends of a single
circuit with the measurement pin and the operator's second hand, equipped with a sharp-ended pin. If the
motor's winding is in good order, Fazer will react
PHASE/ZERO detection in a secured 220V wall outlet in the DETECTION mode
More and more 220V wall outlets has a safety mechanism that prevents persons from inserting a single pin,
e.g. a nail, into it. In this case it is extremely difficult to check the phase in a traditional manner (e.g. with a
neon tester). The DETECTION mode solves this problem. Set the detection sensitivity to low. Move Fazer's
measurement pin close to the wall outlet. Fazer will detect the PHASE. If Fazer reacts for both of the pin-
wholes - set the sensitivity to a lower level. There is a clear difference in Fazer's indications for "phase" and
"zero".
