PGT-61-164 SureTest Circuit Analyzer

I. Introduction
Utilizing patented technology, the SureTest circuit analyzer “look behind walls” to identify
wiring problems that can lead to personal shock hazards, electrical fires, or equipment
performance issues. Personal shock hazards stem from poor grounding, false grounds,
and/or no ground fault protection. Electrical fires are primarily caused from arc faults
and high resistance points that lead to glowing connections in the circuit wiring. And,
equipment performance issues arise due to insufficient voltage available under load,
poor impedance, and high ground-to-neutral voltage. In fact, it’s estimated that 80% of
power quality performance issues are related to the faulty wiring issues stated above.

II. General
Operation
The PGT-61-164 SureTest Circuit Analyzer takes only seconds to test each outlet and
circuit under a full load. This test tool checks for various wiring conditions including:
correct wiring, polarity reversal and no ground per UL-1436. A simple menu gives access
to measurements of line voltage, voltage drop under a full load condition, ground-neutral
voltage and line impedances. The ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) test is performed
separately, in accordance with UL-1436 and will disrupt the electrical supply if a
functional GFCI is present.
WARNING!
Do not use on outputs from UPS system, light dimmers or square
wave generating equipment, as damage to the analyzer will occur.
WARNING!
To maintain stated accuracies during repeated use, allow 20
seconds between insertions to adequately dissipate any heat
buildup during the load testing.
