Keep tools and other items awayfrom the engine, and ensure you can see the battery andworking parts of engine clearly. Maintain correct balance and footing. ensure the floor isnot slippery and wear non-slip shoes. remove ill fitting clothing. remove ties, watches, ringsand other loose jewellery. contain or tie back long hair. Keep children and unauthorised persons away from theworking area. do not disassemble. the tester must be checked byqualified service personnel only. do not get the tester wet or use in damp or wetlocations or areas where there is condensation. do not use the tester for any purpose other than that forwhich it is designed. do not pull by the cables to free from the relay socket. When not in use, store carefully in a safe, dry, childprooflocation. Avoid extremes of temperature.2.1 introductionfast, accurate and safe relay circuit tester that tests thesupply, earth and trigger wires within the circuit. simplyremove the relay and install the corresponding dummy relay.Includes a universal fly lead for non-standard relay pinconfigurations. Earth, supply and trigger terminals will bedisplayed as a green or red Led. the tester can also be usedto power components by simulating the relay in the on/offpositions using the test button.3. oPerating instructionsnote: Please refer to fig.1 overleaf for identification of thetester's components.p WARNING! Before use ensure that you have read,understood and apply Section 1 safety precautions.p WARNING! All pin numbers on the dummy relaysmust correspond with the appropriate pin numberson the vehicle or damage may result when usingthe test buttons. This is especially important whenusing the universal fly lead.3.1. connection3.1.1. connect the red clip on the tester to the positive terminal(+) on the vehicle battery.3.1.2. connect the black clip on the tester to the negativeterminal (-) on the vehicle battery.3.1.3. All the Leds on the tester will illuminate, indicating thatthere is no voltage or earth present at the test plug.3.1.4. remove the relay from the circuit to be tested and installthe correct type of dummy relay into the relay socket(there are six different types of dummy relay suppliedwith the kit plus a universal fly lead for use with any typeof vehicle relay socket).3.1.5. Attach the test plug to the dummy relay.3.2. Testing3.2.1. Any circuits that have a voltage will be indicated by thered Led illuminating.3.2.2. Any circuits going to earth will be indicated by the greenLed illuminating.note: With any relay circuits, there should be a minimum of atleast one red and one green Led illuminated when testinga circuit. Both Leds should not be illuminated at thesame time for an individual circuit as this will indicate afault within that circuit. typically circuits 86 and 30 willilluminate red whilst circuit 85 will illuminate green.3.2.3. If the relay circuits are serviceable (as indicated by theLeds), they can be energised by pressing the testbutton 87 (and 87A for a five pin relay). For example: ifthe horn relay circuit is under test, depressing the testbutton will sound the horn.3.3. Additional Testing3.3.1. Additional diagnostic tests may be conducted using adigital Automotive Analyser or test light in conjunctionwith the test terminals.note: there is no resistance in the tester between the testterminals and the vehicle circuit.3.4. Universal Fly Lead3.4.1. The coloured wires on the universal fly lead havenumbered tags to identify which pin the coloured wirescorrespond to.3.4.2. should the numbered tags become lost or illegible, theguide overleaf indicates which coloured wirecorresponds to which particular pin.Original Language Version tA130 Issue: 1 - 16/04/12
