The tester also incorporates a unique integrated safety probe that ensures that the large backlit analogue and digital LCD test display remains in the user line of sight while circuit measurements are being taken.

Other features include automatic discharge of capacitive circuits, a lock function to continuously apply a test and automatic audio warnings of high voltage and low or high resistance. An easy to use rotary switch provides test selection and the unit is supplied with fused test leads.
