Need a tool to output DC voltage for diag

[infinite97]

I’ve been looking at the power probe stuff but it’s hard to decipher. I would like something that can output 0-24vdc for sensor troubleshooting, relay activation, controller signals, whatever. I work on industrial stuff so going up to 24v would be nice.

power probe seems to be 0-5vdc only - am I missing something?

Not sure where you got 0-5v DC, the PP3 is 0-70v DC > https://images-eu.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/914XM1fUGXS.pdf

Pretty sure he is looking to send 0 to 24 volts to sensors and other stuff for testing. My pp3 doesnt output 70 volts.

PowerProbe will output whatever the supply voltage is to the tip. So typically 12 or 24v.

I don't think it's the right tool for testing industrial sensors though.

yeah, I need variable, not just source voltage…

maybe confusing with a different tool of a similar nature that a coworker has

Yea it's not variable voltage, the output is whatever the input is and has to be connected to the system being tested with the probe.

Sounds like you need a variable power supply with DMM and actuator testing ability?

I have a bench power supply like this:

Only goes up to 10 amps so it's not gonna start a car, but I've used it to troubleshoot trailer lights.
