CIRCUIT BREAKERThe PS100 Autel voltage tester is short-circuit protected. PS100 internal circuit breaker will trip if it becomes overloaded. Determine the positive, negative, and open circuit.
AVOMETERPS100 circuit tester can easy to read AVOmeter, so you can easily use your fingers to control PS100, simply read DC&AC voltage, current and resistance.
FLASHLIGHT Built-in Flashlight enables you to work in the dark. Even in a dark environment where you can't see clearly, PS100 can give you a good view.
LONG CABLEThe PS100 powerscan power probe contain 20ft (extendable) cable provides excellent accessibility to test along the vehicle.
POWER SWITCH With a flip of the power switch, you have an instant hot/ground lead for powering up electrical components like cooling fans, relays, etc.
Autel PowerScan PS100 Electrical System Diagnostics Features:
- Performs every type of service including power injection, measurement, ground testing, polarity checks, continuity testing and components activation
- Easy to read AVOmeter allows you to read voltage, current and resistance at the fingertip

DC VoltageWhile the tool in this mode,contact the probe tip to a circuit,then the LCD display will read the DC voltage with a resolution of 0.1 volt. |
AC VoltageWhile the tool in this mode,contact the probe tip to a circuit,then the LCD display will read the Max voltage,the Min voltage,frequency and duty cycle. |
ResistanceWhile the tool in this mode, contact the probe tip to a circuit, then the LCD display will read the resistance between the tip and auxiliary ground lead. |
Tone On/OffWhile the tool in this mode, just do a quick press of the mode button to toggle the tone on or off. |

Do More Functions Than MultimeterSelect the diagnostic model by depressing the mode button,and then connect the probe tip to the circuit,the LED is to display DC/AV voltage,resistance. |
20ft Extendable CableIt is allows you to easily check the entire circuit system of the vehicle. |
Following & Locating Short CircuitsRemove the blown fuse from the fuse box.Use the probe tip to activate and energize each of the fuse contacts to find to short circuits |
Test Applications
|
Circuit Breaker The tool is short-circuit protected. Its internal circuit breaker will trip if it becomes overloaded. The circuit breaker is a valuable test tool as well as a safety measure to protect the tool from overload. |
 |
| Voltage & Polarity Testing |  |
|
Continuity Testing
NOTE:You can use the probe tip to pierce the plastic insulation on a wire. This means that you can test the circuit without disconnecting anything.

Signal Circuit Testing
Once you extract a DTC from the vehicle and realize that troubleshooting begins with some kind of sensor circuit, there is a quick test you can perform to verify the code. Testing your sensor is easy while using the tool.
For example, you suspect there is a problem with your M.A.P. sensor circuit, then follow the procedure involved with testing this sensor:
Set the tool in AC Voltage mode, using the probe tip with chassis ground or the auxiliary ground lead.
Connect vacuum pump to MAP sensor.
Contact the probe tip to the MAP sensor positive terminal and observe the LCD readings which should be a sine wave in normal condition.
Apply vacuum.
Release vacuum and observe the LCD readings.

Activating Components in The Vehicle
WARNING : Haphazardly applying voltage to certain circuits can cause damage to a vehicle’s electronic components. Therefore, it is strongly advised to use the vehicle manufacturer’s schematic and diagnosing procedure while testing.
|
 |
| Activating Components w/Ground |  |
| Checking for Bad Ground Contacts | Keep in mind that high current components such as starter motors will also trip the circuit breaker. |
| Red/Green Polarity LED |
The Red/Green Polarity LED lights up when the probe tip voltage matches the battery voltage within ±0.8 volts. It is added informationthat could be valuable to the technician.
The difference between the battery voltage and what is read on the circuit is either voltage drop or voltage increase. This allows you to determine a voltage drop without running back to check the battery. It's just another one of time saving feature the tool has.
|
Probe Tip--Contacts the circuit or component to be tested.
Head Lights--Illuminates dark work areas or work areas at night.
Red/Green Polarity Indicator--Indentifies positive,negative or open circuits.The RED Indicator lights when the Probe Tip is contacting a positive
circuit. The GREEN Indicator lights when the Probe Tip is contacting a negative circuit.
LCD Display –Indicates test results.
Circuit Breaker Reset – Resets the tool when the Circuit Breaker is tripped.
Power Switch – Allows you to conduct a positive or negative battery current to the tip for activating and testing the function of electrical
components.
Mode Button – Selects the work mode: AC voltage, DC voltage, resistance, tone.
Speaker – When the audio tone is turned on, a beep will be heard.
Auxiliary Ground Lead – Assists test as a ground lead.
Adaptor – Connects to the battery.

Autel PS100 FAQ:
1.Is the PowerScan Probe Tester computer and air bag safe?
The tool LED and LCD pull no more than 1 milliamp of current,therefore when using it as a test light or multimeter it is computer and airbag safe.
However, pressing the power switch is a different story. When you press the switch forward, you are conducting full battery current to the tip of the
probe. There is a nice safety feature built into the tool. Simply connect the extra ground lead to the tool and press the power switch forward until it
trips the circuit breaker.This will prevent power from going to the tip but still allow you to use the tool as a multimeter. When you are away from
computer components, simple press the reset button and you are ready to power up again.
2.Why do I have no power at the tip when I am pressing the power switch forward but the red LED is on?
The power switch goes through a lot. It is one of the few things that go wrong with the tool. The switch is a consumable that needs to be replaced on
occasion. We have made it real simple to not only change it but also buy a new switch. The switch can be snapped out and replaced in seconds. You
can buy switches from your Autel authorized tool supplier. The tool with the Rocker Switch slots makes it easy to replace a worn switch in the field
without having to send it in for repair.
