Purkeys compiled its Electrical Tool Kit to provide all of the equipment needed to test and diagnose a variety of electrical issues on heavy-duty vehicles. The package comes with a heavy-duty industrial multimeter, a miniature DC clamp-on ammeter, a wide-range miniature infrared thermometer, a bead wire type K temperature probe and general-purpose test leads.
The multimeter combines a voltmeter, ammeter and ohmmeter for checking continuity, diodes and capacity, while the ammeter has a 40-amp scale and 400-amp scale to handle most measurements taken from the truck and trailer. The IR thermometer is useful for battery load tests that require temperature measurements.
