Sealey TA102 Manuals

11 function digital automotive analyser model no: TA102 Thank you for purchasing a Sealey product. Manufactured to a high standard, this product will, if used according to these instructions, and properly maintained, give you years of trouble free performance. IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY. NOTE THE SAFE OPERATIONAL REQUIREMENTS, WARNINGS & CAUTIONS. USE THE PRODUCT CORRECTLY AND WITH CARE FOR THE PURPOSE FOR WHICH IT IS INTENDED. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY CAUSE DAMAGE AND/OR PERSONAL INJURY AND WILL INVALIDATE THE WARRANTY. KEEP THESE INSTRUCTIONS SAFE FOR FUTURE USE. 1. SAFETY 1.1. PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS 9 9 When using the analyser, please observe all normal safety rules concerning: Protection against the dangers of electric current. Protection of the analyser against misuse. 9 9 Full compliance with safety standards can only be guaranteed if used with the test leads supplied. If necessary, these must be replaced with genuine Sealey leads with the same electronic ratings. Failure to do so will invalidate the warranty. 8 8 DO NOT use leads if damaged or if the wire is bared in any way. 1.2. GENERAL SAFETY 9 9 Familiarise yourself with the application and limitations of the analyser as well as the potential hazards. IF IN ANY DOUBT CONSULT A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN. 9 9 When the analyser is linked to a measurement circuit, DO NOT touch unused analyser terminals. 9 9 When the scale of the value to be measured is unknown set the selector to the highest range available. 9 9 Before rotating the function dial to change functions, disconnect test leads from the circuit under test. ‰ ‰ WARNING! Never perform resistance measurements on live circuits. Only measure on disconnected circuits. 9 9 Use caution when working with voltages above 60V DC or 30V AC. Keep fingers behind the probe barriers whilst measuring. 9 9 When not in use, store the analyser carefully in a safe, dry, childproof location. Storage temperature range -10°C to 50°C. 8 8 Never apply voltage or current to the analyser that exceeds the specified maximum. 9 9 The user shall ensure that test probes are correctly selected in order to prevent danger. Probes shall be selected to ensure that adequate barriers guard against inadvertent hand contact with live conductors under test and that probes have minimal exposed probe tips. Where there is a risk of the probe tip short circuiting with other live conductors under test, it is recommended that the exposed tip length shall not exceed 4mm. ‰ ‰ WARNING! Do not make current measurements on the 10A scale for longer than 15 seconds in every 15 minutes. Exceeding 15 seconds may cause damage to the analyser and test leads. 2. introduction Large, hi-contrast LCD display with 34mm high digital read-out.

Note: If ‘1’ appears in the display during a measurement, the value exceeds the range you have selected. Select a higher range. Note: On some low AC and DC ranges, with the test leads not connected to a device, the display may show a random fluctuating reading. This is normal and is caused by the high input sensitivity. The reading will stabilise and give a correct measurement when connected to a circuit. 5.3. Data Hold Button 5.3.1. The data hold function allows the analyser to freeze a measurement reading for later reference. 5.3.2. Press the data hold button once to freeze the reading in the display.

Connect the test leads to the circuit under test and read the voltage on the display. 5.6. DC Current Measurement ‰ ‰ WARNING! DO NOT make current measurements at 10A for longer than 15 seconds in every 15 minutes. Exceeding this may cause damage to the analyser and test leads. 5.6.1. Insert the black test lead into the negative COM socket, and the red test lead into the positive mA socket (or the positive 10A socket for currents from 200mA to 10A). 5.6.2. Turn the function dial to the appropriate setting as required (see ranges above). If the current range to be measured is not known, set to the highest range setting, and then select to the correct range when the first reading is taken, until satisfactory resolution is obtained. Connect the test leads in series with the circuit under test and read the current on the display. 5.7. Diode Measurement 5.7.1. Insert the black test lead into the negative COM socket and the red test lead into the positive socket. Turn the function dial to the position and switch the analyser on. 5.7.2.
