WIRING CONDITION
Prior to using this tester, always verify proper operation by
testing the transmitter on a known energized and correctly wired
electrical outlet.
Insert transmitter
1
into the electrical outlet being tested and compare
the illuminated wiring condition indicators
6
with the wiring condition
codes
7
printed on the transmitter (FIG. 1).
If the tester indicates that the
outlet is not wired correctly, consult
a qualified electrician.
NOTE:
Conditions NOT indicated
include but are not limited to quality of
ground, multiple hot wires, reversal of
neutral and ground conductors, dual
open ground and neutral, and other
combinations of defects.
NOTE:
All appliances or equipment on the circuit being tested should
be unplugged to help reduce the possibility of erroneous readings.
GFCI TEST
NOTE:
Check the GFCI device’s user manual for information on how
the specific device operates prior to using this tester.
NOTE:
All appliances or equipment on the circuit being tested should
be unplugged to help reduce the possibility of erroneous readings.
NOTE:
Not designed for testing 30mA ground-fault devices.
Insert the transmitter into the electrical outlet and note the wiring
condition
6
&
7
.
If the tester indicates that the outlet is not wired correctly, DO
NOT attempt to test the GFCI device. Consult a qualified electrician.
Press the GFCI button
8
on the transmitter
1
to test the GFCI device .
Following the test:
• If the GFCI device tripped, de-energizing the circuit, the wiring
condition indicators
6
will all be off (Open Hot). Reset the GFCI
device by pressing its reset button. After reset, the transmitter
should indicate Correctly Wired
6
&
7
. The GFCI device appears
to be functioning correctly.
• If the circuit remains Energized, the GFCI device didn’t trip, indicating
