WARNING

SecuriTEST Safety Precautions

When using the Digital MultiMeter function to measure
voltage or current, be sure that the input does not
exceed the capabilities of the tester. Overloading the
tester can cause damage or personal injury.

When measuring current of unknown values, always
begin with the 10A mode, then step down to the 400mA
input if necessary.

Environmental Limitations
Temperature: -10 to 50 degrees C
14 to 122 degrees F
Relative Humidity: 0-90%, non-condensing
DC input voltage: 12V +/-10%, 1A

1. SAFETY INFORMATION

Do not use the unit in damp conditions or environments
where explosive gases may be present.

Do not handle the unit with wet hands.

Avoid dropping or causing mechanical shock to the unit.

Do not expose the ports to liquids and avoid exposure to
dust.

Use only specified replacement fuses.

Do not use damaged test leads with the DMM.

Do not measure resistance on powered circuits.

When using the DMM function, set the proper mode
before

connecting to the circuit under test.

When measuring resistance, make certain that the circuit
is de-energized before connecting the test leads to the
circuit.

1. SAFETY INFORMATION

WARNING

Battery Charging Precautions

SecuriTEST is capable of
recharging NiMH batteries
installed in its battery
compartment.

To charge the batteries attach
the included 12V adapter to the
handset and set the main
power switch to the ON
position. Charging time takes 8
hours. Although the charge
LED will light regardless of the
position of the power switch,
charging will only occur with the
switch in the ON position.
Operation time is approximately
3-4 hours on a fully charged set
of batteries.

When using alkaline batteries
the tester can run for
approximately 2 hours on a new
set of batteries.

When using alkaline batteries,
set the switch inside the battery
compartment to OFF to prevent
accidental charging of alkaline
batteries.

- Battery Precautions -

The following batteries can be used with SecuriTEST:
> AA size alkaline batteries
> AA size rechargeable nickel metal hydrogen

(Ni-MH) batteries

When charging batteries in SecuriTEST:

Place both the MAIN POWER and the CHARGE
SWITCH to the “ON” position. The charge LED will light
when the MAIN POWER SWITCH is in either position,
but the batteries will charge only
to “ON”.
The CHARGE SWITCH is located on the upper part of

battery compartment. (Refer to the figure below)

The performance of batteries can be very different,
depending on manufacturers. Please use any reputable
brand for best performance. Do not mix batteries of
different manufacturers when charging batteries. Make
sure not to reverse the polarization of the batteries. Do
not short-circuit or disassemble batteries. Make sure to
check the polarization, voltage and current ratings before
charging batteries. Immediately disconnect the charger
should an abnormal situation arise.

2. SecuriTEST Introduction

Video Tester ►Displays the output signal from the

connected CCTV camera. Used to
adjust aim and adjust and
troubleshoot cameras.

►Video signal generator mode:

Outputs color bars and Red, Blue
and Green screens to allow
technicians to configure monitors
and troubleshot cameras by sending
a known good video signal down a
questionable coax run. Supports
both PAL & NTSC video signal
formats.

MultiMeter ►Measures resistance, AC/DC

voltage and current, and provides
continuity beep and display hold
functions.

PTZ Controller ►The PTZ controller tests the

movement of the dome and allows
manual zoom and manual focus
control of the camera. Supports
various RS-485 and RS-422

7

protocols to allow operation with a
variety of camera manufacturers.

UPT Cable Tester ►The UTP cable check tests

unshielded cables for continuity,
opens, shorts and mis-wired pairs.
