1 Important Information

These operating instructions are intended for the use of adequately trained personnel.

Before use, ensure that the AGL-5 tester is clean and dry; visually inspect all parts. Any damage must be rectified prior to use.

Never hold an AGL-5 Tester between the handguard and the contact electrode.

Always prove the AGL-5 Tester before AND after use.

1. Holding the AGL-5 tester by the handles, behind the handguards, connect the instrument to a Seaward PH3-LLT proving unit and verify that the LED indicators are illuminated.
2. Holding the AGL-5 tester by the handles, behind the handguards, place the contact electrodes in contact with the circuit under test.
3. If the LED indicators are illuminated, there is a voltage greater than the threshold voltage present at the probe tips.
4. If the LED indicators do not illuminate, any voltage present at the probe tips is less than the threshold voltage.
5. Repeat step 1 above to verify that the instrument is still operational.

2 Proving

• Connect one probe to the BLACK terminal.
• Connect the other probe to the RED terminal.
• Press the probe down onto the RED terminal as shown below to operate the internal micro-switch.
• Confirm that the neon illuminates, indicating the test voltage is active.
• Confirm that the LED indicators in the AGL-5 illuminate.
• Disconnect both probes from the proving unit.

Diagram Description: A tester with RED and BLACK probes. A label indicates "Press to test". The diagram shows the NEON indicator and the RED and BLACK terminals for probe connection.
