Amprobe VPC-20 Instruction Manual

Model VPC-20 Instruction Manual � Safety Information • Never use the tester if it or test leads appear damaged. • Never apply more than 600V DC or 600V AC rms. between any terminal and earth ground • When using the probes, keep your fingers behind the finger guard on the probes. • Turn off power to the circuit under test before cutting, desoldering, or breaking the circuit. Small amounts of current can be dangerous. • Use caution when working with voltage above 60V dc or 30V ac rms. Such voltages pose a shock hazard. Automatic Operation The tester automatically turns on when you short the two test probes or place the probes across a complete circuit.When turned on, the tester powers up in continuity mode. If a dc or ac voltage greater than about 4.0V is present across the inputs, the tester switches to dc or ac voltage mode.The tester automatically shuts down after approx. 4 minutes of inactivity. Continuity testing Turn off circuit power before testing. Beeper indicates shorts lasting 1 ms or longer.

If the sign “BAT” appears on the LCD display, it indicates that the batteries should be replaced. Remove screws on the back cover and open the case. Replace the exhaust- ed batteries with new batteries. (AA(2);NEDA 15F or IEC R6) WARRANTY Congratulations!
