Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
160 words
An electrical trouble finding apparatus for testing a variety of units comprising: a case, a manually actuated four pole double throw switch controlling the trouble finding operation of the apparatus, a first pair of spaced binding posts coupled to the switch and protruding upwardly from the case at one end thereof, a second pair of spaced binding posts coupled to said switch and protruding upwardly from the case at an intermediate portion thereof, indicating means connected to the second pair of posts for indicating trouble in a unit, a power supply, and, a control lever mounted on the case and coupled to the switch whereby the first pair of binding posts may be coupled to the power supply through the switch to provide power to a unit under test connected between said first pair of binding posts, and the second pair of binding posts are simultaneously in a de-energized condition so that live units may be coupled therebetween for testing.
