WARNINGS

To ensure safe operation and service of the tester, follow these instructions.

Failure to observe these warnings can result in severe injury or death.

•

Before each use, verify meter operation by measuring

a known voltage or current.

•

Never use the meter on a circuit with voltages that exceed the

category based rating of this meter.

•

Do not use the meter during electrical storms, or in wet weather.

•

Do not use the meter or test leads if they appear to be damaged.

•

Ensure meter leads are fully seated, and keep ﬁngers away from

the metal probe contacts when making measurements.

•

Do not open the meter to replace batteries while the probes

are connected to a voltage source.

•

Use caution when working with voltages above 60V DC,

or 25V AC RMS. Such voltages pose a shock hazard.

•

Always adhere to local and national safety codes. Use individual

protective equipment to prevent shock and arc blast injury where

hazardous live conductors are exposed.

FEATURE DETAILS

Indicators

Lights

•

LEDs light up numerical voltage level indicators,

as well as DC

, DC

–

, or both (AC) indicators.

•

Voltage detection will function without batteries installed.

Vibration

•

Instrument will vibrate in the presence of voltage

measurements that activate the 120V LED.

•

Vibration will function only with batteries installed.

Accuracy

Accuracy of indicator lights is 70% to 100% of the voltage displayed

to account for normal variations in supply voltage.

Voltage-type indicator LEDs (DC, AC) illuminate at around 12V.

Ghost Voltages

The approximate input resistance of 15k

Ω

will reduce the possibility of

false readings due to ghost voltages on de-energized lines.

Lead Spacing

Molded lead holders on the back of the ET50 are spaced correctly

to test tamper-resistant outlets.

This product has been tested to the requirements of

CAN/CSA-C22.2 No. 61010-1, second edition, including

Amendment 1, or a later version of the same standard

incorporating the same level of testing requirements

CAT III CAT IV

Designed for transient protection

on indoor measurements at

installations connected directly

to the primary source. Examples

include distribution panels and

lighting systems in large buildings.

Designed for transient protection

on outdoor measurements taken

at the primary supply voltage

source. Examples include outdoor

overhead or underground utility

service and electricity meter.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Measuring Voltages

Time spent operational at voltages above 220V must be less than

60 seconds, with a cool-off time of at least 5 minutes.

Tester will turn on automatically when voltage is applied.

AC Voltage Measurement

ENGLISH

GFCI Testing

Check the GFCI Receptacle user manual for more information.

Always contact a qualiﬁed electrician to resolve wiring problems.

Operate the Push Button on the GFCI Receptacle. If the GFCI circuit

does not trip, the receptacle is not operating properly.

To test the functionality of a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter receptacle,

apply leads to the hot and ground terminals for 7 seconds.

•

If the GFCI receptacle is wired properly, power to the circuit

will go out and the ET50 will stop indicating voltage.

•

If the GFCI receptacle is wired improperly, power to the circuit

will remain and the ET50 will continue to indicate voltage.

To resolve an issue, contact a qualiﬁed electrician.

Battery Replacement

Batteries are not required for visual voltage indication.

Remove test leads from voltage source.

Unscrew battery cover and replace 3xAAA batteries.
