PART 1: INTRODUCTION
The Alpha MUTT
®
is an all-in-one, mobile, advanced diagnostic tester and inspection system for both
vehicles and trailers. It saves time and money by providing mistake-free, paperless inspections that are
faster and more efficient than existing methods across all your locations. Innovative Products of America
®
(IPA
®
) uses its own proprietary technology and a custom software suite to achieve unparalleled accuracy
and record keeping while conducting electrical, air brake and ABS testing along with full DOT inspections.
While there are various models of the Alpha MUTT
®
available with different included accessories, all
products that feature the name Alpha are Bluetooth
®
and RF equipped and can be operated by both
tablet and RF remote control. The Alpha MUTT
®
is microprocessor controlled and features state of the
art current sensing, computer-controlled circuit protection, live circuit monitoring with automatic pass/fail
calculations, as well as digital voltage and amperage draw readout. The tester will detect poor grounds,
open circuits, crossed circuits, short circuits, and also features Pulsar
®
which aides in troubleshooting
intermittent and dead shorts. Models equipped with ABS diagnostics can be utilized to read and clear
codes and display troubleshooting information on a trailer via the 7-way connector. Those readings are
displayed on the face panel as well as through the tablet app
