I want to measure current between 2 terminals where the jaws won't fit. Can I use the supplied probes for this?

No, the probes are used to measure voltage. You must use the "clamp" feature to surround the wire you want to measure the current flowing through.

There is no metal probe on the end in the sense that a DMM uses test leads with metal probe tips. This sensor works on the principle of a capacitive voltage divider. See Fluke's Web page. http://www.fluke.com/Fluke/usen/community/fluke-news-plus/ArticleCategories/Electrical/CapacitiveVoltage.htm Basically, all you need to do is have the plastic end of the probe near a conductor and if the LED in the sensor comes on you will know the line is live. This sensor will not work for DC and should not be used around high voltage AC circuits.

No. The two sets of terminals are to allow for smaller cable gauge usage than would be required with only one set of terminals. It is also not acceptable to utilize only one set of terminals. Both positive terminals and both negative terminals should be attached to just one battery bank.

Yes, set the scale for DC range, and place the two probes using the correct polarity so the meter reading is a plus (+) reading. If the batteries are under load when doing this, the voltage may be less than 24vdc. If the two batteries are not connected to the trolling motor, the reading could be 24vdc, otherwise, if near zero or substantially less than 24vdc, the batteries are either bad, shorted, etc. or need recharged. Also check each battery separately.

depth in as much as there is a screw,,, temp no,,, but the probe is only 3.5 inchs long not 6 inch,, did`nt work for me ..

Yes, the probe has a connector that plugs into the back of the edge unit. No spicing to be done.

You can but it will activate the circuit because it's probe voltage is too high, so it's really not meant to. If you want to do in circuit measurements get a dedicated ESR meter. The ESR function on this device isn't really very accurate anyway, it's mainly useful for transistor testing and LCR.

I don't think so you can use the probes that come with it up to 80 volts i work on mico stuff

The probe needs to be long enough otherwise you would melt the plastic. The probe length is several feet.

May I suggest a different tool. The Klein Tools "PROBEplus - Tone Tracing Probe". Cat. No. VDV500-060. $44.00 + sh. Trace wire paths and identify cables in common wiring systems. 9V Aklaline batteries required (not included). Also, you will need about 10" of shielded heavy duty wire to stick into to the left and right slanted 240v. socket then connect the "Tone" end to the heavy duty wire, the use the probe to trace the wires.

use amp probe, see how much current is being used, and check valve to see if any debris is inside

They might just measure the size of your current connectors. I unfortunately would not buy again because I bought 4 for my van and 2 for my moms SUV and they all malfunctioned . Not safe because they just inclined on there own several times then would not lock in at all :)

I could only use a caliper rather than a micrometer. So, I had to interpolate the reading on the caliper, which was about 3.7 mm for each prong. Based on personal experience in Prague, Vienna, Innsbruck and all over Switzerland, the prongs fit very well in all of the sockets encountered, being neither too loose or too snug.

I couldn't say either way. I can suggest picking up a cheap digital caliper. They're easy to use and that will give you a good measurement. Also they tend to come in handy pretty often. Otherwise i would contact the manufacturer they would probably be able to tell you a definitive answer. Also i would confirm the voltage with them to be sure before you damage anything.

I have not had occasion to need a probe, but you might try this link. http://www.maverickhousewares.com/parts_and_service.htm

It is designed and calibrated for specific buidling products. It would not work for this use, and was not the least bit accurate. Using both probes on the same material did not produce results that were remotely similar. I returned the product.

I can only guess that the one with the red and black probes would be for testing dc current.red for positive polarity and black for the negative terminal.the other tester with no probes is for ac circuite. hope this helps.
