How to Use the Voltage Tester (Quick Guide)
-
Prepare: Ensure the vehicle has a 6–24V DC system and that ignition/locking is in the correct position for the circuit you are testing.
-
Ground: Attach the tester according to the product's grounding/reference instructions (e.g., to chassis/(-) depending on the model).
-
Test: Touch the test point with the probe to read the voltage on the digital display.
-
Interpret: Compare the measured value with the expected system voltage (approx. 12–14V in 12V systems, approx. 24–28V in 24V systems when charging).
-
Safety: Remove the probe before starting work on the circuit and disconnect power if necessary.
What's Included

Safety & Advice
- Only for DC vehicle systems (6–24V). Do not use on household AC or high-voltage circuits.
- Avoid direct testing on the high-voltage side of the ignition system.
- Always work with good grounding and a stable contact point for reliable readings.
- Disconnect power supply before making permanent interventions in the electrical system.
- Always follow vehicle manufacturer's wiring diagrams and safety regulations.
FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions
Does it work on both 12V and 24V vehicles?
Yes, the voltage range is 6–24V DC, covering both 12V and 24V systems.
Can I use it to test fuses?
Yes, you can quickly see if there is voltage on both sides of a fuse when the ignition/circuit is activated.
Does it show the exact voltage level?
Yes, the digital display shows the voltage value at the test point within the tool's intended use.
Is it suitable for trucks?
Yes, it supports 24V systems and can be used in light trucks and other 24V vehicles.
Can I check for ground faults with it?
You can indicate if voltage is missing due to poor ground by comparing different ground points and positive feeds.
Do I need batteries for the tool?
No, the voltage tester is powered by the circuit being measured (no separate battery supply required).
Can it be used on motorcycles?
Yes, if the motorcycle has a 6–24V DC system. Always check the system voltage before testing.
Is it waterproof?
It is designed for normal workshop environments. Avoid moisture and rain – keep the tool dry for safe measurements.
Does it come in gift packaging?
It is supplied on a blister card (blister packaging) that protects the product and is easy to handle.
Can I use it on AC 230V at home?
No. It is only for 6–24V DC in vehicles. Do not use on household AC or high-voltage circuits.
