5. Instruccions de funcionament
The Power Probe III offers multiple functions for comprehensive electrical testing:
5.1. VoltagProves de polaritat i electròniques
Touch the probe tip to the circuit or component to be tested. The LCD display will show the voltage reading and indicate polarity (positive or negative).
5.2. Power/Ground Activation
To activate a component or circuit, touch the probe tip to the desired point. Press the INTERRUPTOR D'ALIMENTACIÓ forward for positive voltage or backward for ground. The tool's internal circuit breaker protects against overloads.

5.3. Proves de continuïtat
With the tool powered, touch the probe tip to one end of the circuit or component and connect the auxiliary ground lead to the other end. An audible tone and a green LED indicate continuity.
5.4. Min/Max Voltage Capturing
The Power Probe III can capture minimum and maximum voltage readings. Refer to the unit's display for these values, which are useful for detecting intermittent voltage drops or spikes.
5.5. Relay and Component Testing
The Power Probe III can be used to test various components and relays by applying power or ground directly. Always ensure the component can safely handle the applied voltage i corrent.
