PRV240FS
Proving Unit
Instruction Sheet
Introduction
The PRV240FS Proving Unit (the Product) is an
electronic voltage source. This Product provides
a safe and easy method to verify proper operation
of the T6-600/T6-1000 Electrical Tester with
FieldSense technology or other test tools. Use
it to verify either an energized source or a de-
energized source. Also use it in cases where no
known voltage source is available to verify a test
tool.
The Product does not require personal protective
equipment (PPE) unless your environment
requires minimal PPE such as a hard hat, safety
glasses, or ear plugs.

FieldSense Measurement without Test Lead
Before verification, set up the T6 for a FieldSense
measurement without the test leads. See the
T6
Quick Reference Guide
.
To verify measurement:
1. Move the switch to the FieldSense position.
See Figure 3.
2. Insert the T6 fork into position on the Product.
3. Push and hold the finger ground contact to
activate the Product.
The Product LED turns green and the T6
display shows a 240 V measurement.
FieldSense Measurement with Ground Lead
Before verification, set up the T6 for a FieldSense
measurement with the ground lead. See the
T6
Quick Reference Guide
.
To verify measurement:
1. Move the switch to the FieldSense position.
See Figure 4.
2. Insert the T6 fork into position on the Product.
3. Place the black test lead from the test tool
into the test lead ground contact terminal and
press down firmly.
The Product LED turns green and the T6
display shows a 240 V measurement.
AC/DC Measurement
Before verification, set up the T6 or other test tool
for ac/dc measurement with the test leads.
To verify measurement:
1. Move the switch to the AC or DC position.
See Figure 5.
2. Place the red test lead from the test tool into
the (+) terminal and press down firmly.
3. Place the black test lead from the test tool
into the (-) terminal and press down firmly.
The Product
LED turns green and the T6
display shows a 240 V measurement.
Battery Replacement
Push the finger ground contact button to check the
battery condition. The finger ground contact LED
turns green to show good battery condition. If the
LED does not turn on, replace the batteries.
Warning
To prevent possible electrical shock, fire, or
personal injury:
