Voltage Probe Troubleshooting and FAQs

Voltage Probe, order code VP-BTA, $12
Specifications and User Guide

TROUBLESHOOTING

-Primary Test: Are the red and black leads connected properly and securely?

-Secondary Test: If you suspect that the readings are not correct, try connecting the read and black clips together. The reading should go to zero. If it does not, the wires may be damaged.
