TEST DEvIcE For TT-FFS ProbE
Operating instructiOns
GENERAL INfORMATION
Please read these instructions and keep them in a safe place. These
instructions must be followed carefully to ensure proper operation.
The TT-FFS Probe Tester is a battery powered device that provides the
capability of testing a TT-FFS Probe to determine whether it is functioning
properly. Designed for use in ordinary areas, the TT-FFS Probe Tester
is a hand held device used to evaluate the operational state of a TT-FFS
Probe. It produces flashing signals with bright red LEDs that identify
different operational conditions of the TT-FFS Probe.
The TT-FFS Probe Tester also monitors its battery voltage and produces a
special DOUBLE Flash signal when the batteries need replacing.
The TT-FFS Probe Tester utilizes the same cable connection hardware as
the TT-FFS Probe. When the TT-FFS Probe Tester is properly connected
to a TT-FFS Probe, the TT-FFS Probe Tester may produce a SINGLE
Flash signal, or a NO Flash signal, to indicate the operational state of the
TT-FFS Probe. Follow the specific steps described in these Operating
Instructions to determine the operational state of the TT-FFS Probe.
STORAGE
Keep the TT-FFS Probe Tester in a dry place that provides temperature
stability in between uses. Avoid impacts that might damage the device.

Operating Instructions
Follow the guidelines discussed in the flow chart sequence on page 2 to
evaluate the operational state of any TT-FFS Probe.
Note: A TT-ffS Probe with MC series metal connector can be con-
nected directly to the TT-ffS Probe Tester as shown in Photos 1 and 1A.
Note: A TT-ffS Probe without metal connector (L series) can be
connected with the TT-ffS-ALLIGATOR4CLIP-MC cable end adaptor as
shown in Photos 2 and 2A. The 4 colored alligator clip wires should be
connected to the corresponding colored wires of the TT-ffS Probe.
