3. Persediaan

3.1. Power Probe 3

  1. Pemasangan Bateri: The Power Probe 3 is typically powered by the vehicle's battery. Connect the red lead to the positive (+) terminal and the black lead to the negative (-) terminal of the vehicle battery.
  2. Probe Tip Attachment: Ensure the probe tip is securely attached to the Power Probe 3 unit.

3.2. Digital Multimeter

  1. Pemasangan Bateri: Open the battery compartment (usually on the back) and insert the required batteries, observing polarity.
  2. Lead Connection: Connect the black test lead to the "COM" (common) jack. Connect the red test lead to the appropriate jack for the measurement type (e.g., "VΩmA" for voltage, resistance, or current).

3.3. Auto AC Temperature Testing Kit

  1. Pemasangan Bateri: Install batteries into the main display unit and each wireless temperature sensor, ensuring correct polarity.
  2. Peletakan Sensor: Place the wireless temperature sensors into the vehicle's AC vents or other desired measurement locations.
  3. Hidupkan kuasa: Turn on the main display unit and each sensor. The display unit should automatically connect to the sensors.

4. Arahan Operasi

4.1. Using the Power Probe 3

The Power Probe 3 is used to apply power or ground to components and test for voltage and continuity.

  • Voltage Ujian: Touch the probe tip to the circuit or component. The LCD screen will display the voltage. Red/Green lights indicate positive/negative polarity.
  • Applying Power/Ground: Use the rocker switch to apply battery voltage or ground to a component for functional testing. Exercise caution to avoid short circuits.
  • Ujian Kesinambungan: Connect the auxiliary ground lead to a known good ground. Touch the probe tip to the component. The LCD will indicate continuity.

4.2. Using the Digital Multimeter

The Digital Multimeter can measure various electrical parameters.

  • Voltage (DC/AC): Putar suis berputar ke vol yang dikehendakitage range (DCV or ACV). Connect the test leads in parallel with the circuit or component.
  • Rintangan (Ω): Turn the rotary switch to the Ω (ohms) range. Ensure the circuit is de-energized. Connect the test leads across the component.
  • Semasa (A): Turn the rotary switch to the desired current range (DCA or ACA). Connect the multimeter in series with the circuit. Awas: Incorrect connection can damage the multimeter or vehicle.
  • Kesinambungan: Turn the rotary switch to the continuity setting (often indicated by a speaker icon). A beep indicates continuity.
  • Fungsi lain: Refer to the multimeter's specific markings for frequency, temperature, and capacitance measurements.
