Wouldn't it be great if leaky or shorted parts just lit up and whistled at you? Well, guess what ... the LeakSeeker 82 can guide you right to the faulty component with whistles and flashing lights!
Shorted or leaky components in a circuit can be difficult to locate because your ohmmeter will show the same shorted or low reading at every pad along the suspected trace. You've probably wished for a better way to find these defective parts in-circuit, rather than cutting up the trace into segments and de-soldering and checking every suspicious part in each segment.
Simply touch LeakSeeker's gold-plated probe on any solder pad along the suspicious trace and LeakSeeker automatically calibrates itself to the resistance of the defect, within a 24 milliohm "window". Because the test voltage is a current-limited eight volts, it will power through good diodes to activate shorted components beyond. Touch a pad in one direction or the other and LeakSeeker beeps higher or lower and lights the LED distance scale to indicate that you're getting closer or further from the defect. The 24 milliohm window allows a small area of pcb trace to be checked, then automatically re-calibrates itself to a new window as you get closer to the short
Leakseeker is a superb, proven time-saving tool that should be an essential item on every repair bench
