The Handyman Component Tester represents a giant step forward in portable test equipment. It enables you to test SCRs, Diodes, Capacitors, Transistors, Contactor Drivers, Snubbers, Suppressors and more with a level of confidence never before possible with a VOM (multimeter) alone. How many times have you seen a component test "OK" with a VOM, but found that it breaks down when full voltage is applied? Combining the Handyman with your VOM (multimeter) creates an even more powerful troubleshooting tool.
The Handyman is quite different from other testers in that it applies 200v to SCRs and diodes for evaluating blocking and reverse leakage. Capacitors may now be tested at or near their actual operating voltage for both value and leakage. Numberous other components can be completely tested under realistic conditions where VOM testing alone would provide only marginal or inconclusive information. SCR dual-range firing and SCR holding-current tests, along with diode forward-conduction and simple continuity testing, are all routine for the Handyman.
Features include:
- Component testing at realistic voltages
- Self-contained, battery-powered operation
- Failure and degradation detection VOMs can't detect
- Complete operator's manual
- Safety auto-discharge
- Audible and visual continuity indication
- Two-year warranty
- User-friendly front panel in four color graphics
