SAFETY INFORMATION

Please read and understand this entire manual before

attempting to assemble, operate or install the product.

• Double Insulation: The tester is protected

throughout by double insulation or

reinforced insulation.

• Use extreme caution when checking electrical circuits

to avoid injury due to electric shock.

• The manufacturer assumes basic knowledge of

electricity on the part of the user and is not

responsible for any injury or damages due

to improper use of this tester.

• This product does not sense DC voltage or

potentially hazardous voltages below 50 volts.

• To assure the unit is operating, always test on a

known live circuit before use.

• This tester will not detect voltages in wires that are

electrically shielded by metal conduit or grounded

electrical enclosures.

•

OBSERVE AND FOLLOW

all standard industry

safety rules and electrical codes.

When necessary call a qualified electrician to

troubleshoot and repair the defective electrical circuit.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Non-Contact Voltage Detection Operation:

1. Before use test the battery by pressing the yellow

button at the NVC detection end. The LED will flash

and the speaker will chirp momentarily if the battery

is good. If the indicators do not function or the chirp

continually cycles, then replace the battery.

2. To test for voltage press and hold the yellow button

at the NVC detection end. Place the probe tip on

or near the wire, device or circuit to be tested.

If AC voltage greater than 50 VAC is present the

LED will flash and the speaker will chirp continuously.

NOTICE:

1. Static Electricity – The tester is subject to electrical

static interference. If the LED or tone activate

momentarily it is detecting static electricity.

When detecting voltage the LED and tone will

cycle continuously.

2. NCV detection antennae interference –

The presence of objects near the probe tip

can decrease the sensitivity of the tester.

Keep your finger away from the LED lens and

probe tip to ensure adequate detection range.

Outlet Circuit Tester Operation:

1. Plug the tester into any 120 Volt standard or

GFCI outlet.

2. Only a single LED should illuminate

3. The text adjacent to the lit LED will indicated

the wiring condition.

4. If no LED illuminates then the hot is open

5. If the tester indicates a wiring problem then turn

off all power to the outlet and repair wiring.

6. Restore power to the outlet and repeat steps.

NOTICE:

1. All appliances or equipment on the circuit being

tested should be unplugged to help avoid

erroneous readings.

2. Not a comprehensive diagnostic instrument but a

simple instrument to detect nearly all probable

common improper wiring conditions.

3. Refer all indicated problems to a qualified electrician.

4. Will not detect two hot wires in a circuit.

5. Will not detect a combination of defects.

6. Will not indicate a reversal of grounded and

grounding conductors.

TO TEST GFCI PROTECTED OUTLETS:

1. To test GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) protected

circuits plug tester into GFCI protected outlet. Verify the

power is on and that the outlet is wired properly.

2. Press the GFCI test button.

3. If circuit is wired properly the main GFCI outlet should trip and

power to the circuit will be cut off (this is indicated by the LED

lights on the tester going off).

NOTICE:

1. Consult the GFCI manufacturer's installation

instructions to determine that the GFCI is installed

in accordance with the manufacturer's specifications.

2. Check for correct wiring of receptacle and all

remotely connected receptacles on the branch circuit.

3. Operate the test button on the GFCI installed in

the circuit. The GFCI must trip. If it does not —

do not use the circuit — consult an electrician.

If the GFCI does trip, reset the GFCI.

Then, insert the GFCI tester into the receptacle

to be tested.

4. Activate the test button on the GFCI tester for a

minimum of 6 seconds when testing the

GFCI condition. Visible indication

on the GFCI tester must cease when tripped.

5. If the tester fails to trip the GFCI, it suggests:

a.) a wiring problem with a totally operable GFCI,

or b.) proper wiring with a faulty GFCI. Consult

with an electrician to check the condition of the

wiring and GFCI.

Caution:

GFCIs are sometimes installed in 2- wire systems (no ground

wire available). This may or may not meet the local code. This

tester will not trip GFCI outlets installed without a ground wire.

On two wire systems use the test and reset buttons on the GFCI

outlet to demonstrate proper operation. To detect which

downstream outlets are protected by the GFCI place the tester

in these outlets and use the test and reset buttons. Watch for the

LEDs on the tester to turn off, this will indicate proper operation.

Product comes complete with one

LR44 BATTERY in package.

To Install or Replace:

1. Orient the tester backside up, locate the

battery compartment marked with the battery symbol

secured with screw.

2. Once battery compartment is located, use a small

Phillips head screwdriver to remove screw &

release battery cover.

3. Remove the LR44 battery using caution to

prevent damage or injury to the internal components.

4. Place battery into tester as shown on the

battery cover (Positive terminal facing toward the

NCV end of the product).

5. Replace battery cover and screw.

6. Test on known live circuit to verify tester functionality.
