CapWizSavr

Save your invaluable CAPACITOR WIZARD from potential damage

Are you one of the many who forgets to discharge a capacitor or checks a capacitor with the unit turned on while troubleshooting? If you are, then you have heard this....ZAP! No more Capacitor Wizard! The damage to your Capacitor Wizard might be slight (the two one-ohm resistors burned out) or more severe damage might of occurred that will take a Capwiz kit to repair. Every time you have to repair your Capacitor Wizard, You Lose Valuable Time!

Now is the time to act. Add the CAPWIZSAVR to your Capacitor Wizard and your worries about a charged capacitor are no longer. The Capacitor Wizard (with the installation of the CapWizSavr) works as it did before but now it's protected from charges up to 400 VDC. Your Capacitor Wizard will even work on live circuits but it's not recommended. Your Capacitor Wizard is protected by the CapWizSavr but You are Not!

The installation is simple:

6. Solder the test leads to the CapWizSavr (Figure 2). 7. Solder the leads from the CapWizSavr to the Capacitor Wizard inserting the leads from the circuit side and soldering on the component side (Figure 2). 8. Reinstall the Capacitor Wizard printed circuit board using the four screws removed in step 3. 9. Remove the two pieces of tape backing from the CapWizSavr and press the CapWizSavr onto the inside of the back cover below the battery pack if possible. If it will not fit below the battery pack, position it above (Figure 3) making sure to leave room for the battery connector.	Click Figure 2 to enlarge

10. Reconnect the battery connector. 11. Route the test leads through the small groove in the box of the Capacitor Wizard. 12. Reinstall the back cover using the screws removed in step 1. You can now use the Capacitor Wizard normally. It will withstand up to 400VDC on charged capacitors or even live circuits. However, we do not recommend that you test circuits with power applied. ALWAYS REMOVE THE POWER FROM ANY CIRCUIT BEING TESTED - Your Capacitor Wizard is protected but YOU ARE NOT!	Click Figure 3 to enlarge
