My first Fish copper Qt treatment

[Kensington Reefer]

I had a tunze stream that I discovered the wires separating from the submerged impeller
Fortunately before any damage occurred

I am also referring to old Tunze's that Mike gave me.

Black probe grounded touching metal pipe or ground outlet screw ..RED probe in water?

Yes

I think it’s set wrong. I see ac. I also see hz. USA is 60hz. 120v. Is standard. If your reading 56v with red to power and black to ground. Nothing in your house world work.

So I want to have it on dc? Not ac

No you want to have it on ac. To test it. Put the red wire probe in the right top( small blade ) then put the black probe in the bottom D shaped. Your volt meter should read 120v. Now if it does. Then your one the right setting. Put both probes in the water and see if you get a reading. If you do anything over 1 volt. Like 5 volts or more. Then disconnect 1 thing at a time. The one that drops the voltage to zero or close. Is the bad unit.
Now if you put both probes in the water and nothing. Then put the black probe to the D slot ( ground) and the red probe in the water. Then do the same thing. Unplug 1 thing at a time.

It’s been a while since I’ve done it. Basically you want one probe to ground and the other to power ( your short) which is the water. Sump and DT is different sometimes. They may or may not be connected. So test both.
Heater need to be on if it’s bad. It will test zero if it’s off. But when it comes on. It will shock you.

Oh if you don’t have a ground wire. You can stick the black probe in the left long slot. And the red probe in the right smaller slot. It will read 120v

If you’re still stuck. You have my number. We can do a quick FaceTime and I can walk you thru it.

Unfortunately I don't have any grounded outlets like that. In my place beyond the bathroom and kitchens. No where that tanks are that is.
I had red wire in tank and black probe wire on my metal trailer.

There is also a no connection voltage sensing feature.

Near glass of both tanks

Away from glass

Near a air pump

Near dj strip

Near heater power cords.

From the manual

Random shots of this feature. I'm not sure I i take it there is high voltage in the tank or not.

Lmao I thought the smart multimeter would make things easier to figure out. Looked at videos and ugh they only show manual ones
