5.2 Сыноо режимдери

The P100 Plus offers four primary diagnostic modes:

• **DC Voltage Mode**: Measures direct current voltage.
• **AC Voltage Mode**: Measures alternating current voltage, including RMS, peak-to-peak, frequency, and pulse width for signal testing.
• **Resistance Mode**: Measures electrical resistance (0-100 kΩ).
• **Diode Mode**: Tests diodes for proper function.

5.3 Негизги функциялар

• **Current Injection**: Apply current to a circuit for testing.
• **Ground Test**: Verify the integrity of ground connections.
• **Polarity Test**: Determine the positive or negative polarity of a voltage.
• **Continuity Test**: Check for an unbroken path in a circuit.
• **Component Activation**: Safely activate components like lights or motors.
• **Signal Circuit Testing**: Diagnose sensor circuits and verify Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs).
• **MIN/MAX/Audible Monitoring**: Three additional modes for monitoring voltage fluctuations and audible alerts.

5.4 Өзгөчө колдонмолор

5.4.1 Finding Short Circuits

A short circuit often results in a blown fuse or tripped electrical protection. To locate a short:

1. Ар бир сактагычтын контакттарын жандыруу жана кубаттандыруу үчүн зонд учун колдонуңуз.
2. The contact that trips the circuit breaker indicates the presence of a shorted circuit.

5.4.2 Finding Bad Grounds

To test for a bad ground connection:

1. Probe the suspected ground wire or contact with the P100 Plus probe tip.
2. If the circuit breaker trips, this circuit is likely a good ground. If it does not trip, the ground may be faulty.

5.4.3 Testing Trailer Lights

To test trailer lights:

1. Set the tool to DC Voltage режими.
2. Clip the auxiliary ground lead to the trailer ground.
3. Probe the contacts at the trailer jack and then apply voltage to the probe tip. This allows you to check the function and orientation of the connector and trailer lights.

5.4.4 Checking Continuity

Үзгүлтүксүздүктү текшерүү үчүн:

1. Set the tool to Resistance mode.
2. Use the probe tip with chassis ground or the auxiliary ground lead.
3. Continuity can be tested on wires and components whether they are attached or disconnected from the vehicle’s electrical system.

5.4.5 Activating Components

The component activation function generates activation signals to tested components. This is useful for testing lights, motors, and other on-board electrical equipment directly.

5.4.6 Сигнал чынжырын сыноо

When troubleshooting Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) related to sensor circuits, the P100 Plus can quickly test sensors to verify the code and diagnose issues.

5.4.7-томtage & Полярдуулук сыноо

DC Voltage mode, contact the probe tip to a circuit. The display will show the voltage and indicate its polarity. If the probe tip contacts an open circuit, neither the positive nor negative LED will light.

6. Техникалык тейлөө

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your AER P100 Plus Circuit Tester, follow these maintenance guidelines:

• **Cleaning**: Wipe the unit and cables with a soft, damp ар бир колдонуудан кийин кездеме. Абразивдүү тазалагычтарды же эриткичтерди колдонбоңуз.
• **Storage**: Store the tester and its accessories in the provided plastic carrying case in a dry, cool place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• **Cable Inspection**: Regularly inspect all cables for signs of wear, cuts, or damage. Replace damaged cables immediately to prevent electrical hazards and ensure accurate readings.
• **Probe Tip**: Keep the probe tip clean and sharp for effective penetration and contact.

7. Кыйынчылыктарды

If you encounter issues with your AER P100 Plus, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• **No Power to Unit**: Ensure the power cables are securely connected to a functional 6-24V DC power source. Check the vehicle's battery or cigarette lighter for power.
• **Circuit Breaker Trips Frequently**: This indicates a short circuit in the system being tested. Follow the 'Finding Short Circuits' procedure in Section 5.4.1 to locate and resolve the short.
• **Inaccurate Readings**: Verify that the probe tip has good contact with the circuit. Ensure the auxiliary ground lead (if used) is connected to a solid ground. Check for damaged cables.
• **No LED Indication in Voltage/Polarity Test**: If neither the positive nor negative LED lights up when testing a circuit, it indicates an open circuit.
• **Unit Not Responding**: Disconnect the unit from the power source, wait a few seconds, and then reconnect it. If the issue persists, contact customer support.

8. Колдонуучунун кеңештери

Here are some tips to enhance your experience with the AER P100 Plus Circuit Tester:

• Always start with a visual inspection of the circuit before testing. Look for obvious signs of damage, corrosion, or loose connections.
• When testing for continuity or resistance, ensure the circuit is de-energized to prevent damage to the tester or the component.
• Utilize the 20ft extension cable for reaching circuits in various parts of the vehicle without constantly repositioning the power source connection.
• The large color screen and intuitive menu make it easy to switch between different testing modes quickly, allowing for efficient diagnostics.
• Remember that the 8-amp automatic reset circuit breaker protects the tool from overloads, but it's always best practice to understand the circuit you are testing to avoid unnecessary trips.
