Wiring Configuration Testing
Conditions indicated: CORRECT, OPEN GROUND, OPEN NEUTRAL,
HOT/GRD REVERSE, HOT/NEU REVERSE, HOT/GRD REVERSE, OPEN
GRD.
Conditions NOT indicated: Quality of ground, multiple hot wires,
combinations of defects, reversal of grounded and grounding conductors.
All appliances or equipment on the circuit being tested should be
unplugged to help reduce the possibility of erroneous readings.
GFCI Receptacles
1. Check the GFCI receptacle user manual for information on how
the specific receptacle operates prior to using this tester.
2. Insert the tester into the receptacle under test to check for correct
wiring. Lights on the tester should illuminate.
3. Read Current, Phase Voltage (L_ N) and Leakage Voltage (N_ E)
4. Press the test button on the GFCI receptacle. Only press the GFCI
button when the lights are illuminated as “esc” (CORRECT). The
GFClI light should illuminate. Did the GFCI trip and all lights on the
tester go dark?
YES: Reset the GFCI by pressing the reset button. The GFCI is
operating properly.
NO: Proceed to step 5.
5. Did the GFCI light illuminate?
YES: The GFCI is not operating properly or the receptacle is miswired
Consult a qualified electrician.
NO: The tester is operating properly.
GFCI Light —
Note:
1. The test time should be no more than 5 minutes.
2. When using, please be careful not to touch the GFCI button, so as not to
trigger the leakage protection switch and cause unnecessary loss.
3. When checking the circuit, please turn off the household appliances
in use and confirm that the power failure will not cause any safety hazards.
Voltage Test
Insert the tester into a standard three holes power outlet. Read Phase
Voltage (L_ N) and Leakage Voltage (N_ E).
The N-E voltage is normally "0 or closes to "0 If the N-E voltage reading is
100 large, the LCD Screen will change from green to orange. The following
reasons:
1. The power consumption is too large, the wire is too small or too long
(the resistance is too large).
2. The neutral line connector is loose, has poor contact or is oxidized.
3. The neutral wire is disconnected or severely oxidized, the electrical
appliances cannot form a loop and there is a pressure drawdown
generated by the electrical appliances between the neutral wire and the
ground wire (determined by the pressure drawdown of the load electrical
appliances).
