Features:
Xtuner PT100 Circuit Tester
Xtuner PT100 is a new revolutionary circuit tester, working as an AVOmeter, test light, built-in flashlight, short circuit indicator, relay/component tester, continuity tester and bad ground indicator to provide great simplicity for users to check circuitry condition.
Item | Xtuner PT100 Circuit Tester |
Multifunctional | Perform voltage & polarity testing, continuity testing, signal circuit testing, activating components in your hand and in the vehicle, testing trailer lights and connections, activating components W/Ground, red/green polarity LED etc. |
Coverage | Works for all 12V and 24V electrical system, like cars, boats, trailers, fuel pumps, relays and many other Vehicles. |
Simplicity | Read results on large and colorful LCD screen, easy to navigate the user menu.
8 amp circuit breaker protection, automatically reset, no button to push. |
Safety & Durability | Protection design for safety.
Ergonomic housing design with rugged and water resistant specification Built-in Flashlight enables you to work in the dark. Auto circuit breaker makes it very safety and durable, it is short-circuit protected as well as a safety measure to protect the tool from overload. |
Cable Length | 20-foot power lead and extra 20FT extension cable. |
Autel Powerscan PS100
The Powerscan Tool is also a revolutionary electrical circuit tester. It has the most functions of Xtuner PT101. It’s slightly worse in aspects like screen display size, power supply, testing range & frequency, testing/working mode numbers compared with PT101, but its’ the best electrical tester for reducing diagnostic time in all 6-30V vehicle electrical systems and has wider DC voltage range and other strengths.
Item | Autel Powerscan PS100 |
Multifunctional | Performs every type of service including power injection, measurement, ground testing, polarity checks, continuity testing and components activation. |
Coverage | Support all 6- to 30-volt vehicle electrical systems. |
Simplicity | Audio tone indicator allows for no-look menu scrolling once users are familiar with menu tone assignment.
By depressing the power switch, conduct a positive or negative battery current to the probe tip for testing the function of an electrical component without the use of jumper wires. Extremely easy to use and highly reliable. |
Speed | Simultaneously uses the hot lead and the ground lead to activate components right in your hand.
PS100 Easy to read AVOmeter allows you to read voltage, current and resistance at the fingertip. Test for poor ground contacts instantly without performing voltage drop tests. Instantly identifies positive, negative and open circuits. Tests for bad ground contacts instantly, allowing you to follow and locate shorts fast without wasting fuses. Instantly checks continuity of switches, relays and diodes. |
Safety & Durability | Circuit breaker protected.
Built-in Flashlight enables you to work in the dark. The tool is also short-circuit protected; its internal circuit breaker will trip if it becomes overloaded. |
Cable Length | 20ft (extendable) cable provides excellent accessibility to test along the vehicle |
JDIAG BT-100 Battery Electrical System Circuit Tester
JDiag BT-100 is a new Battery Electrical System Circuit Tester made by JDiag company, it can test car battery voltage, AC and DC voltage, resistance, leakage, short circuit, components activation etc.
Item | JDIAG BT-100 Circuit Tester |
Multifunctional | Easy to confirm if a circuit is positive, negative, or open without having to reconnect clips from one battery pole to another.
Test for continuity with its built-in auxiliary ground lead. |
Vehicle Coverage | Support all 6- to 30-volt vehicle electrical systems.
Support 12V cars and 24V trucks. |
Precision | Tiny deviation and more precise testing data. |
Simplicity | By pressing the power switch, the positive or negative current will be conducted to the probe tip for testing the function of an electrical component without the use of jumper wires.
Follow and locate short circuits without wasting fuses. |
Speed | Test for poor ground contacts instantly without performing voltage drop tests. |
Safety & Durability | JDIAG BT-100 is also short-circuit protected, its internal circuit breaker will trip if it becomes overloaded.
Overload self protection: reset automatically after overload, no need operation. The 10m diagnostic cable is made of environmentally-friendly material, not pungent. The portable nylon bag is waterproof and oil proof |
