Connecting Pico Universal Breakout Leads

Please read these instructions before using the breakout lead. Pico Technology takes no responsibility for any damage caused through incorrect use. These leads are designed to be used by experienced/professional automotive vehicle technicians who understand the implications of incorrect use.

The signal pins must be identified using wiring diagrams or other means.

It may be possible to cause a short circuit to the oscilloscope unit if incorrect connections are made! A short circuit could seriously damage the unit, and would require it to be repaired at your own cost.

• Ensure the ignition is switched off before removing any multiplugs
• On removal of a multiplug keep the plug straight – do not twist the plug out of alignment with its mating partner
• Always connect both the male and female terminals
• The component-only terminals may be connected if carrying out a resistance test. Ensure the ignition is switched off during the test
• Ensure each colour-matched pair of wires in the test lead is used to connect matching terminals in the male and female plugs
• Never partially connect the test leads
• Always ensure that the terminals are correctly located
• Keep test leads aways from hot components, such as the exhaust system
• Keep test leads away from moving parts, such as the alternator drive belt
• Keep test leads away from electrical cooling fans
