CONTINUITY TESTING
By using the tip together with the auxiliary
ground test lead, continuity can be tested on
wires and
components that are disconnected from the
vehicle's electrical system.
When continuity is present, the LED indicator
will light GREEN.
ACTIVATING COMPONENTS OUT OF THE
VEHICLE'S ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
By using the tip together with the auxiliary
ground lead, components can be activated,
thereby testing their function.
Connect the negative auxiliary clip to the
negative terminal of the component being
tested.
Contact the probe to the positive terminal of
the component, the LED indicator should light
GREEN indicating continuity through the
component.
While keeping an eye on the green LED indi-
cator, quickly depress and release the power
switch forward (+). If the green indicator
changed instantly from GREEN to RED you may
proceed with further activation. If the green
indicator went off at that instant or if the
circuit breaker tripped, the HC-CARGO 211083
has been overloaded. This could happen for the
following reasons:
• The contact is a direct ground or negative
voltage.
• The component is short-circuited.
• The component is a high amperage
component (i.e., starter motor).
