Proving Unit

Instruction Sheet

Introduction

The PRV240 Proving Unit (the Product) is an

electronic voltage source. This Product provides

a safe, risk free, and easy method to verify proper

operation of a test tool. Use it to verify either an

energized source or a de-energized source. Also

use it in cases where no known voltage source is

available to verify a test tool.
The Product does not require personal protective

equipment (PPE) unless your environment

requires minimal PPE such as a hard hat, safety

glasses, or ear plugs.

Operation

Table 2 shows the locations for the controls and

interface of the Product.
Use the Product to verify operation of a test tool at

240 V ac or 240 V dc.
To use:
1. Select the AC or DC function with the

selection switch on the side.

2. Place the red probe of the test tool into the (+)

terminal and press down firmly.

3. Place the black probe of the test tool into the

(-) terminal and press down firmly.

4. Make sure the meter reading of the Product is

valid for the test function.

For low impedance test tools, the output voltage

should be sourced at >50 V ac or dc. It is

recommended to test both the ac and dc functions

of the test tool.
