FAQs

What voltage range does this tester support?

The Draper Automotive Circuit Tester supports a voltage range of 6-24V DC.

Can I use this to test AC circuits?

No, this tester is designed for DC circuits only and is not suitable for testing AC mains.

What is the purpose of the crocodile clip?

The crocodile clip provides a secure earth (ground) connection, which is necessary for the tester to function correctly.

How long is the cable?

The cable length is 650mm (2.1ft).

What should I do if the tester stops working?

Check the ground connection, inspect the cable for damage, and ensure the probe tip is making good contact. If these steps do not resolve the issue, the tester may need replacing.

Is it suitable for motorcycles?

Yes, it is suitable for motorcycles as long as the voltage is within the 6-24V DC range.

How do I replace the bulb?

The bulb is typically not replaceable and if it fails, the entire unit should be replaced.

Troubleshooting

Tester does not light up when testing a known live circuit.

Ensure the crocodile clip is making a good ground connection. Check the cable for any breaks or damage. If the issue persists, the bulb inside the tester may be faulty.

The probe tip is bent or damaged.

Carefully straighten the probe tip, or replace the unit if the damage is severe and affects its ability to make contact.
