PRODUCT DIMENSIONS

OPERATION

Plug the tester into any 120-volt standard or GFCI outlet.
View the indicators on the tester and match them with the chart on the tester.

If the tester indicates a wiring problem then turn off all power to the outlet and repair wiring.
Restore power to the outlet and repeat steps 1-3.

TO TEST GFCI-PROTECTED OUTLETS

To test GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) protected circuits plug the tester into a protected outlet. Verify the power is on and that the outlet is wired properly.
Press the GFCI test button.

If the circuit is wired properly the main GFCI outlet should trip and power to the circuit should be off (this is indicated by the neon lamps on the tester turning off).
When checking circuits with a GFCI outlet on them, the tester may indicate hot/ground reversed when the actual wiring condition is open neutral.

CAUTION – REFER TO THIS MANUAL BEFORE USING THIS TESTER.

Double Insulation: The tester is protected throughout by double insulation or reinforced insulation.

FEATURES
