GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS

Klein Tools ET250 is a solid-state, digital voltage and continuity

tester. It measures AC/DC voltages up to 600V and tests for

continuity. Additionally, the ET250 tests GFCI protected circuits to

verify that the GFCI device is functioning appropriately. The tester

includes a backlight and worklight for working in reduced ambient

lighting conditions.

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 tester operation by measuring a known voltage.

• Never use the tester on a circuit with voltages that exceed the

category based rating of this tester.

• Do not use the tester during electrical storms or in wet weather.

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

• Replacement test-leads should conform to EN 61010-031 and

be rated CAT IV 600V, 10A, or better. Do not use lower rated

test leads.

• Ensure tester leads are fully seated, and keep fingers behind

the finger guards and away from the metal probe contacts

when making measurements.

• Use caution when working with voltages above 25V AC RMS

or 60V DC. Such voltages pose a shock hazard.

• To avoid false readings that could lead to electric shock,

replace batteries when a low battery indicator appears.

• Always adhere to local and national safety codes. Use personal

protective equipment to prevent shock and arc blast injury

where hazardous live conductors are exposed.

• Tester is IP53 dust & water resistant. Following any contact

with water, thoroughly dry tester and test lead jacks prior to

subsequent use.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

CONNECTING TEST LEADS

USE PROPER SAFETY-RATED TEST LEADS

Connect test leads by inserting the black lead into the "COM" jack

and the red lead into the "+" jack. Do not test if leads are improperly

seated. Results could cause intermittent display readings. To ensure

proper connection, firmly press leads into the input jack completely.

FUNCTION BUTTONS

POWER-ON/OFF: Press the On/Off button to turn the tester on or off.

The tester will automatically power-ON if test leads are applied to

a circuit and it detects voltage >12V. The tester will automatically

power-OFF following 15 minutes of inactivity to conserve battery life.

BACKLIGHT: Press the Backlight button to turn on/off the backlight.

The backlight will automatically power off after 3 minutes of

inactivity to conserve battery life.

WORKLIGHT:

Press the Worklight button to turn on/off the worklight.

The worklight will remain on until turned off or tester powers off.

GFCI TEST: Press to perform a GFCI test. See

OPERATING

INSTRUCTIONS

for details.

AC/DC VOLTAGE (LESS THAN 600V)

Apply test leads to the system under test to measure voltage; the

voltage measured will be reflected in the display. The tester will

automatically detect the presence of AC or DC voltage and illuminate

the appropriate icon in the display.

NOTE: Test-leads seated in the lead holders on the back of the tester

are spaced correctly to test tamper-resistant US-style outlets.

AUTION: The maximum testing voltage is 600V. ‘OL’ will show

in the display if voltage in excess of 600V is detected. No other

warnings will be delivered for voltages above 600V. Testing voltages

above 600V should not be attempted under any circumstances.

ENGLISH

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

TESTING IN CAT III / CAT IV MEASUREMENT LOCATIONS

Ensure the test lead shield is pressed firmly in place. Failure to use

the CATIII / CATIV shield increases arc-flash risk.

TESTING IN CAT II MEASUREMENT LOCATIONS

CAT III / CAT IV shields may be removed for CAT II locations. This

will allow testing on recessed conductors such as standard wall

outlets. Take care not to lose the shields.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

CONTINUITY

Remove power from circuit. Test for continuity by applying test leads

to the system being tested. The tester automatically enters continuity

testing mode. If resistance < 270kΩ is detected, an audible signal will

sound and the continuity icon "

" will show in the display indicating

continuity. If the circuit is open, "

" will show in the display.

DO NOT attempt to measure continuity on a live circuit.

GFCI TESTING

CAUTION: Check the GFCI Receptacle user manual for more

information. Always contact a qualied electrician to resolve wiring

problems. Operate the Test Button on the GFCI Receptacle. If the

GFCI circuit does not trip, the receptacle is not operating properly.

CAUTION: To resolve wiring or GFCI concerns, contact a

qualied electrician.

To test the functionality of a receptacle protected by a Ground Fault

Circuit Interrupter (GFCI), apply leads to the hot/live and ground

terminals. Press the GFCI Test button on the ET250 tester.

• If the GFCI device is wired properly, the GFCI will trip and the

circuit will become de-energized. The ET250 tester will stop

indicating voltage.

• If the GFCI receptacle is incorrectly wired, the power to the circuit

will remain and the ET250 will continue to indicate voltage. Contact

a qualified electrician to resolve wiring problems.

NOTE: The GFCI Test mode on this tester is deactivated in the

presence of voltages > 135V.

MAINTENANCE

BATTERY REPLACEMENT

When the Low Battery indicator

shows low battery strength ( ),

batteries must be replaced.

1. Remove 2 screws from

battery door.

2. Replace 3 x 1.5V AAA batteries

(note proper polarity).

3. Replace battery door and

fasten securely with screws.

o avoid risk of electric shock, disconnect leads from any voltage

source before removing battery door.

To avoid risk of electric shock, do not operate tester while

battery door is removed.

NOTE: There are no user-serviceable parts inside tester.

CLEANING

Disconnect test leads. Clean the instrument by using a damp cloth.

Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.

STORAGE

Do not expose to high temperatures or humidity. After a period of

storage in extreme conditions exceeding the limits mentioned in

the General Specifications section, allow the instrument to return to

normal operating conditions before use.
