New Snap-on Multi-Probe Handheld Tester Takes the Guesswork Out of Checking Electrical Systems on Vehicles
KENOSHA, Wis., July 26, 2004 - As transportation electrical systems become more complex and critical to a vehicle's operation and performance, new tools are needed to successfully pinpoint and check wired components. That's why Snap-on Tools Company has introduced the new Multi-Probe (CT3000KT), a handheld tool that tests and troubleshoots a variety of electrical systems. The unit operates on DC systems ranging from 6- to 48-volts, making it useful on almost all transportation electrical applications, including cars, trucks, motorcycles, boats and airplanes.
The Snap-on Multi-Probe has a range of applications, such as powering electronic devices for short durations to ensure functionality. Temporarily powering components allows users to quickly locate and test wiring configurations on trailers and other electrical systems. The unit easily tests continuity of electrical circuits to guarantee they are operational and properly functioning. The Snap-on Multi-Probe also conveniently tests and identifies correct wiring polarity. The LED light and audible tone quickly indicate positive, negative or ground polarity, eliminating the potential for incorrect connections.
The Snap-on Multi-Probe's power control module operates the low voltage electronic switches as well as isolates the user from high-power components to improve operational safety. Other safety features help prevent injury to the technician and damage to electrical components. An audible alarm sounds and shut down switch activates when the unit exceeds electrical current or temperature limits. Recessed membrane-covered switches prevent accidental "power up" and conserve energy use.
The Snap-on Multi-Probe is powered by either the vehicle's battery or cigarette lighter adapter, providing users with multiple power source options. A 20-foot extension cord offers sufficient reach for operators to move around the vehicle in service.
The Snap-on Multi-Probe is constructed of a solvent-resistant, high-impact ABS plastic exterior, allowing the unit to successfully perform in an active shop environment and provide durability after repeated use. The unit's battery clamps are made of corrosion-resistant copper that keep electrical connectors clean and ensure proper contact with battery posts.
