Q: What is the max amperage rating of this tool?
A: It doesn't have an amperage output. It's designed to test electric circuitry …. Not something like an alternator. It will actuate a Solinoid that will operate a plow… so the amperage is very low
Q.Is the PowerScan Probe Tester computer and airbag safe?
A: The tool LED and LCD pull no more than 1 milliamp of current, therefore when using it as a test light or multimeter it is computer and airbag safe. However, pressing the power switch is a different story. When you press the switch forward, you are conducting a full battery current to the tip of the probe. There is a nice safety feature built into the tool. Simply connect the extra ground lead to the tool and press the power switch forward until it trips the circuit breaker. This will prevent power from going to the tip but still allow you to use the tool as a multimeter. When you are away from computer components, simply press the reset button and you are ready to power up again.
Q.Why do I have no power at the tip when I am pressing the power switch forward but the red LED is on?
A: The power switch goes through a lot. It is one of the few things that go wrong with the tool. The switch is a consumable that needs to be replaced on occasion. We have made it real simple to not only change it but also buy a new switch. The switch can be snapped out and replaced in seconds. You can buy switches from your Autel authorized tool supplier. The tool with the Rocker Switch slots makes it easy to replace a worn switch in the field without having to send it in for repair.
