use: Instruction Manual Verify tester operation by measuring a known voltage. Apply tester to circuit under WARNING test. And, then test on the known live volt- age again to ensure proper operation. Read First: Safety Information Connect the black common lead to ground Use the tester only as specified in this manual; before applying the red test lead to voltage. otherwise, the protection provided by the tester Disconnect the red test lead from the volt- may be impaired. age first. Always work with a partner. Warning When using the probes, keep fingers as far To avoid possible electric shock or personal behind the probe tips as possible. injury, follow these guidelines: Features: Do not use tester if it is damaged. Visually Vibration Mode with indicator movement inspect tester to ensure case is not cracked. Independent solenoid and electronic circuitry Inspect and replace leads if insulation is design provides back-up voltage indication damaged, metal is exposed, or probes are for added safety cracked. Pay particular attention to the Low Impedance Measuring Device insulation surrounding the connectors. Replaceable Test Leads Do not use tester if it operates abnormally as Shielded probe tips protection maybe impaired. Ultrasonically welded for added durability Do not use during electrical storms or in wet Accessories: weather. 61-072 Resistor-fused test leads Do not use around explosive gas, dust, or vapor. C-90 Soft-sided carrying case Do not apply more than the rated voltage to 61-010 Leather case the tester. Voltage is not to exceed 600V. To Measure AC Voltage: Always operate this solenoid-type tester Ensure that the plug for the test leads is fully within the specified duty cycle on the front of seated into the banana jacks. the tester. Duty cycle ratio is: Connect the tester in parallel with the load or 1:7 ON:OFF time for 240V or less circuit. 1:40 ON:OFF time for 240V or greater. The tester indicates both the voltage type and Maximum ON time is 15 seconds. the voltage level. Caution To Measure DC Voltage: To protect yourself, think "Safety First": Ensure that the plug for the test leads is fully Voltages exceeding 30VAC or 60VDC pose seated into the banana jacks. a shock hazard so use caution. Connect the tester in parallel with the load or Never ground yourself when taking electrical circuit. measurements. The tester indicates the voltage type, polarity, and the voltage level.
