When the TSIT display indicates that a circuit is NORMAL, the test leads may 
be moved to another circuit. This permits sequential testing of multiple 
circuits without any repeated menu selection.

Earth Fault Summary:

Navigate to “Earth Fault Test” by scrolling with the up/down arrow 
keys. Press ENT.

 Connect the Red lead and the Green lead, per the instructions on 
the Yellow label. Test Results are displayed in real time, and are 
updated constantly. If the display indicates “NORMAL”, disconnect 
the Red lead.

Connect the Black lead per the Yellow label, leaving the Green lead 
connected. If the display indicates “NORMAL”, disconnect the Black 
lead.

If the shielded wire is used, connect the Red lead to the shield and 
the Green lead to the earth. The display should indicate “NORMAL”.

If there are multiple circuits to test, you may move on to the next one, 
repeating the process.

To test an IDNet channel with IDNet Isolators, or TrueAlarm Isolator 
Bases, Earth Fault Search must also be run on the IDNet channel.

IDNet

The user should have a list of IDNet devices and addresses when checking 
out an IDNet installation. The list can be compared against the devices found 
by the TSIT, making some problems easier to diagnose. The TSIT channel 
information can be saved in one of the 60 internal memory slots, then 
uploaded to a personal computer for easier review. (see the section on PC 
Upload.)

To test an IDNet channel with the TSIT, connect as follows:

IDNet+ to Red Lead

. Connect ALL IDNet+ wiring for the channel to 

the Red Lead. It is important that the channel be complete when 
scanned.

IDNet- to Black Lead

. Connect ALL IDNet- wiring for this channel to 

the Black Lead.

Earth to Green Lead

. Connect to building steel or other earth point.

If ZAM or any 24V powered devices are present, be sure to connect the 
Auxiliary Power Harness. Clip the red alligator lead to the +24V wiring, the 
black to the 0V wiring.
