    The new ExaPen from Rotkee opens up electrical diagnostic testing allowing you to load test wires that are difficult to access connected. The ExaPen applies a 1 kilo-ohm resistor to the circuit which will help diagnose voltage drop on identify high resistance circuits. The ExaPen also features a PWM (Pulse With Modulation) output which allows you to adjust positive and negative duty cycle up to 20 amps! (this prototype maxed out at 15 amps). The tool is very safe to use and utilizes an electronic fuse which checks the circuit as you test; unlike a thermal fuse which requires an increase in current before it pops (risky). The tool also features some very basic oscilloscope features, like a graphing multimeter and low spec oscilloscope. Check it out!

    A rotary switch a few load resistors and a push button switch and you can use your scope meter!

    Seems to be a waiting list at the moment with that said which power probe would be the closest in functions to this my guess is the maestro but I would like to hear your opinion thanks

      Pre Order I think. The PP Meastro: does it output PWM up to 20A? Also does it load test wires? I see the scope features are quite cool. Not familiar with that tool myself 😅

    Which is better for test loaded voltage drop, loadpro or this? This tool looks great and I like that it can use detachable banana plug leads. Because many tools have non-replaceable cords, and if the cord breaks, you have to buy a new tool.

    • @MechanicMindset
      @MechanicMindset  Před 3 měsíci +1

      To be honest I’ve not used the Loadpro. I suppose some benefits of this are the graphing multimeter mode, current draw of the circuit is displayed and PWM power output 👍

    I need you to do a detail video on crank and cam signal, for beginners who re learning how to detect cylinder 1 from crank signal and where or how to look for it, and how to look for cylinder 2, Infact we also want a video on how to use the cam signal to match with the crank, we need a detail video, we also want to see the flex plate reluctor tooth’s being count in the crank signal the scope gives, we really need something very down for beginner, cos all the videos we watch, the information are for pro..

      It doesn’t usually take too long. Sounds like there might have been a shipping issue. I haven’t heard back from them for a while either. They will sort you out I’m sure; honest business in difficult circumstances

I await my pressure transducer and pulse sensor. I thought they were the real deal as you and other youtubers speak highly of them.@@MechanicMindset
