Rechercher les alimentations, masses et courts-circuits à partir de la batterie
The BT160 is a powered circuit probe for 6–24 V DC vehicle systems: it shows polarity and continuity by LED and buzzer, checks grounds and diodes, and can feed power or ground to a selected component. It has no screen and does not read exact voltage values.
- 6–24 V DC
- Cordon intégré de 4 m
- Coupure pour surcharge à 10 A
- LED rouge / verte + avertisseur sonore
Key Features
-
Polarity Test
Touch an unknown contact: red LED for positive, green LED for negative.
-
Continuité et circuit ouvert
With the auxiliary ground lead on one end and the probe on the other, check wires, fuses, relays and switches for an open path.
-
Contrôles des diodes et de la masse
Test a diode assembly, or confirm a component’s negative ground with green LED and buzzer feedback.
-
Recherche de courts-circuits
Remove the blown fuse, start at the fuse socket and follow the harness section by section to find the shorted side.
-
Activation de composants
The rocker switch applies positive or negative output to a component on the vehicle or on the bench.
-
Long cordon de pontage
The black clip and auxiliary ground lead are linked through the unit, so it can serve as a long jumper test lead for front-to-rear harness work.

How to Use
- Branchez à la batterieUnroll the lead; red clip to battery positive, black clip to negative.
- Self-testPress the switch and confirm the LEDs: red for positive, green for negative.
- Sondez le circuitTouch the tip to the contact, wire, fuse, relay, diode or terminal for the test you are running.
- Lisez le retourUse LED color and buzzer to identify positive, negative, open, continuous, grounded or overloaded conditions.
- Activer uniquement lorsque cela convientPress “-” for positive output or “=” for negative output; stop at once if the LED changes color with a beep.

Good to Know
Attention
- For 6–24 V DC vehicle systems only. Not for 110 V / 220 V AC household current or any system above 24 V DC.
- Do not inject power or ground into an ECU, SRS, sensor or data line unless a specific procedure allows it; the tester’s protection does not make those circuits safe.
- Sparks can occur at the probe tip. Do not use near combustible gas, dust or explosive atmospheres.
- If overload protection trips, stop and check the circuit, the component and its rated current before continuing.
Entretien
- Inspect the case, tip, clips and leads before use; do not use with cracks or exposed wire.
- The probe tip is sharp; store it carefully and away from children.
- Do not disassemble the tester; repairs go to authorized service.
