Obsee the limits and safety precautions at all times.
2.8 Locating Sho Circuit
1. Disconnect the power that is connected to the wire being tested, and remove all the
loads(for example, remove light bulb from the wire).
2.9 Locating Open Circuit
1. Set the V210 transmitter to “TONE”, and the red LED indicator lights up. If the red LED
indicator does not light up, please check the batte.
2. Switch on the V210 receiver and set its rota switch to the middle position. Press and
hold the “TEST” button and move the probe sensor close to the test leads of the
transmitter, the V210 receiver receives signal and generates a tone. That means the tool
works correctly.
3. Connects the black test lead to the circuit’s positive supply(or to the negative supply for
vehicles with positive supply connected to chassis). Connect the red test lead to the wire
being tested. A fuse socket(with blown fuse removed), a connector provides a
convenient hook up.
4. Switch on the V210 receiver and set the rota switch to the middle position. Press and
hold the “TEST” button and sweep the wire slowly with the probe sensor, ensuring the
probe is perpendicular and above or below the wire being traced and as close as
possible to it.
5. Follow the wire or check it at dierent points, staing from the transmitter and moving
towards the load(accesso, light etc), obseing the positioning of the probe as
indicated above.
6. Continue this procedure when the tone indicates the integrity of the circuit. When the
tone stops, it means the probe has just passed the open point, breaker or bad
connection in the circuit. See ( Figure 2 ).
2. Switch the V210 transmitter to “CONT” position, and connect the test leads to the wire.
3. When the resistance is less than 10k ohm, the LED indicator at the “CONT” position
lights up in green and it means the wire is shoed.
