CCT-01 Cable Tester can be use to detect simple cable intermittent fault. The scanning speed of the tester is at a frequently of about 4Hz. The movement of the cable is recommended to be slow to capture the fault.
Operating Instruction
- Getting into the Detection mode
Press [Start TEST] button first, followed by pressing the [Sound] button. Hold onto the button and do not release the button. You will notice that all the indicators all lighted up. Hold the buttons until all the 4 indicators lights are off. Then you can release both the buttons.
