Applications - Amprobe TIC 300CC Manual De Uso

Capacitor is Shorted or Leaky- continuous whistle, as if the
leads were touched together.
Capacitor is Open- steady slow "beeps" only.
To Check Low Value Capacitors
1. De-energize the circuit containing the capacitor to be tested.
2. Attach the test clip harness to the jack on the bottom of the
back side of the unit.
3. Switch the unit ON and disconnect one lead of the capacitor,
then connect one test clip to the capacitor.
4.Touch the other test clip to the remaining lead of the capacitor"
Capacitor is Shorted or Leaky- continuous whistle, as if the
leads were touched together.
Capacitor is Open- steady slow "beeps" only.
To Test Diodes
1. Attach the test clip harness to the jack on the bottom of the
back side of the unit.
2. Connect the test clips across the diode, note the signal, and
reverse the connection.
Diode is /good – a normal beep is heard during one
connection, a whistle in the other.
Diode is shorted – steady whistle during both connections.
Diode is open – normal beep during both connections.

APPLICATIONS

To Check Fuses and/or Breakers
You may check screw-in type, cartridge type or
resettable breaker type fuses with your Tic Tracer.
With the circuit energized, a good screw-in type fuse
will create a whistle when the probe is placed on it.
Good cartridge fuses and breakers should sound a
siren on both ends, and across their length. Note
that because the TicTracers detect the electrostatic
field, it may be necessary to remove the metal fuse
panel cover, as it may act as a shield.
