Outlet Test - Wiring Arrangement
Test all outlets in the area for proper grounding and wiring arrangement by plugging in the neon outlet
tester and noting the combination of lights that are illuminated. Any problems found should be reported
to the hospital immediately and the receptacle should not be used.
The Dale 600 has self-contained lamps designed for testing the outlet wiring arrangement. Plug the
Dale 600 into each outlet to be tested comparing the lamp status.
NOTE:
No outlet tester can detect the condition where the Neutral (grounded supply) conductor and the
Grounding (protective earth) conductor are reversed. If later tests indicate high leakage currents, this
should be suspected as a possible cause and the outlet wiring should be visually inspected.
