OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
RECEPTACLE TEST
ET270 Receptacle test is designed for use with North American
3-wire, grounded 120V electrical outlets. DO NOT connect to
higher voltage electrical supplies.
Prior to use, always verify tester operation by testing on a
known live and correctly wired electrical circuit.
1. With the Receptacle Test Cord

inserted into the front jacks of
the tester

2. With the tester powered ON and inserted into the receptacle to be
tested, the Indicator LED
11
will illuminate either red or green:
• If the Indicator LED
11
illuminates red, the circuit is not wired
correctly and/or the voltage is not between 85V AC and 135V AC.

indicated (see table in WIRING CONDITIONS section). When the
receptacle is de-energized or the tester is unplugged, the tester
holds the information on the LCD and the Data Hold Indicator
B
will illuminate. During this time, the Indicator LED
11
will blink. If
no voltage is detected, the LCD will reset after approximately 10
seconds. If the tester is plugged into another circuit, the LCD will
update to show the voltage and wiring condition of that circuit.
If the tester indicates that the circuit is not wired correctly,
consult a quali ed electrician.
• If the Indicator LED
11
illuminates green, the circuit is wired
correctly, and the voltage is between 85V AC and 135V AC.
NOTE:
The Hazardous Voltage Indicator
N
will appear if the detected
voltage is above 25V AC.
