Can you use a power probe on a 24 volt system?
If the test leads need to be replaced, you must use a new one which should meet EN 61010-031 standard. The Power Probe IIIS and the ECT 3000 are NOT to be used with 110/220-volt HOME electrical, it is only for use with 12-24-volt systems.
How do I find an open circuit in my house?
When a circuit in your home is dead or has no power, it is known as an “open hot.” You can find an open hot in a house circuit by using an electrical tester. Testers can come in a variety of types such as an electrostatic wand and a three-pronged receptacle tester.
Which Power Probe is best?
Currently, the best-selling probes are the Power Probe 3, the improved Power Probe 3EZ, and the Power Probe 4. The Power Probe 3 is our most popular Circuit Tester. It’s small, compact, affordable, and simple to use, yet packed with enough testing features to handle the majority of your electrical testing work.
What is the difference between the power probe and ect2000?
The Power Probe is powered via the battery (or a 12 volt source) and tells you instantly whether the wire or circuit is live and which side of the circuit you are on, positive or negative. This in itself solves a lot of problems, and there is more. The ECT2000 unit connects to the battery just like the Power Probe.
What is the sensitivity setting on the ect2000?
The sensitivity level can be applied to the distance between the signal and the base so setting 8 is 8+ inches, 6 is approximately 6 inches, 2 LED’s is 2 inches and the lowest setting is about 1 inch above the signal. The approximate area of a short on the ECT2000 is somewhere underneath the receiver and within the length of the body.
What is the accuracy of the ECT 2000?
This means the ECT 2000 has an accuracy of a 6 x 4 x .5 from signal detect the location of the short. The 3000 accuracy is .5 x .5 x .5 inches. If you are stopped right at the tone cutoff point and 4 lights are lit on the sense bar, the short will be 4 inches below the short insignia.
Where is the trigger point on the ECT 3000?
The approximate area of a short on the ECT2000 is somewhere underneath the receiver and within the length of the body. The 3000 has an insignia on the bottom that says SHORT. This area is exactly where the trigger point is for shorts.
