- Encendido: Flip the Power Switch to the 'ON' position. The AUTOOL logo will appear on the screen, indicating the device is ready.
7. Instrucións de funcionamento
The AUTOOL BT260 offers several testing modes. Use the Mode Button to cycle through them.
7.1 DC Voltage Detection Mode
This mode detects the direct current voltage value of the circuit under test. The device automatically identifies and displays the polarity:
- Pantalla verde: Indicates negative polarity.
- Pantalla vermella: Indicates positive polarity.
7.2 AC Voltage Detection Mode
In this mode, the BT260 detects the maximum and minimum voltage, supply frequency, and duty cycle of the alternating current circuit under test.
7.3 Resistance Detection Mode
This mode measures the resistance value between the probe tip and the auxiliary ground wire. Connect the auxiliary ground clamp to a known good ground point on the vehicle.
7.4 Diode Test Mode
Use this mode to quickly test the working state of diode components and determine if there is continuity or not.
7.5 Función da lanterna
The integrated LED lights on the probe tip provide illumination for working in dimly lit areas. These lights activate automatically when the device is powered on.
7.6 Current Overload Protection
The AUTOOL BT260 is equipped with an automatic current overload protection feature. If the current exceeds a safe limit or the voltage goes above 30V, the device will automatically disconnect the circuit to prevent damage to the tool and the vehicle's electrical system.
7.7 Using the 10m Extension Cable
The included 10m extension cable allows for easy inspection of the entire electrical circuit system, from the front to the rear of the vehicle, without needing to reposition the power source.
7.8 Multi-language Options
The BT260 supports multiple languages for user convenience. You can select from English, Russian, German, Spanish, French, Italian, and Portuguese.
8 Solución de problemas
- O dispositivo non se acende: Check that the battery clamps or cigarette lighter adapter are securely connected to a functional 12V or 24V power source. Ensure the power switch is in the 'ON' position.
- Overload protection activates frequently: This indicates a short circuit or excessive current draw in the circuit being tested. Disconnect the tool, investigate the circuit for faults, and resolve them before retesting.
- Lecturas inexactas: Ensure the probe tip is making good contact with the test point and that the auxiliary ground clamp is connected to a clean, solid ground.
9. Consellos de usuario
- For intermittent issues, try wiggling wires and connectors while testing to identify loose connections.
- Always start with a visual inspection of the wiring and components before using the tester.
- When testing fuses, ensure the fuse is completely removed from its socket to prevent back-feeding current.
10. Mantemento
- Limpeza: Limpe o dispositivo e os cables cun pano suave eamp pano. Non use produtos de limpeza ou disolventes abrasivos.
- Almacenamento: Store the AUTOOL BT260 in its original packaging or a protective case in a dry, cool environment away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
- Consello da sonda: Keep the probe tip clean and sharp for accurate readings. Replace if bent or damaged.
11. Garantía e soporte
