GFCI Test Instructions
When testing the GFCI installed in 2 wire (non-grounded)
outlets, the tester may indicate a faulty GFCI. If this occurs, press the test
button on the GFCI
. The GFCI should trip. Restore the power by
pressing the reset button on the GFCI
.
CAUTION:
1. Check the instructions on the specific GFCI device you are testing before
proceeding. Make sure the GFCI
has been properly installed.
2. Press the test button on the GFCI
. The GFCI
should trip.
If not, do not use the receptacle and consult a qualified electrician. If it does
trip, press the reset button on the receptacle.
3. Insert the transmitter into the receptacle being tested.
4. Press the GFCI TEST button on the Transmitter. Either the test button on
the GFCI
will trip or, if the circuit is controlled by a GFCI circuit
breaker, the GFCI circuit breaker will trip.
5. If the GFCI
or GFCI circuit breaker does not trip, do not use the
receptacle and consult a qualified electrician.
Using Light Socket Adapter (Optional 60030S Adapter Kit)
1. If the light is controlled by a wall switch, turn the switch off
proceeding.
2. Remove the light bulb.
3.
4.
. Turn on the wall switch and follow the procedures described in Locating
a Circuit Breaker
. Confirm that the correct circuit breaker has been turned off. The LED on the
transmitter should be off. Double check the circuit before working on it by
using a voltage tester or meter.
The Transmitter includes a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) test button
that allows you to test the functionality of GFCI outlets and circuit breakers.
1. With the transmitter plugged into the powered
outlet, go to the circuit
breaker panel. Open the door on the panel.
2. If the Receiver has not been turned on, momentarily press the On/Off/Reset
button to turn it on.
3. Start at the top of the circuit breaker panel on the left side.
4. Move the Receiver slowly down the left side of the panel, touching the center
of each circuit breaker with the scanning head. Hold the Receiver at the correct
contact angle so that the detector in the scanning head makes good contact with
the breaker. Touch the center of the breaker…not the breaker handle.
5. When you get to the bottom breaker, go to the top breaker on the right side
and proceed to slowly scan each breaker on the right side of the panel.
6. When you have completed one full scan of the circuit breaker panel,
immediately perform a second scan. Start at the top left breaker, scan down the
left side and then scan the right side. Do not press the On/Off/Reset button or
turn the Receiver off between scans.
7. When the receiver detects the circuit breaker that is powering the outlet, the
red LED will turn off and the green LED will turn on. The beeper will change to a
continuous tone.
8. If during the second scan of the panel, the Receiver identifies more than one
circuit breaker, try performing a third scan of the panel.
9. If you plan to perform maintenance on the circuit, make sure that you turn the
breaker OFF. Double check the circuit before working on it by using a voltage
tester, receptacle tester, or multimeter.
• To conserve battery power, the
Receiver will turn off automatically
after three minutes.
• To turn the Receiver OFF, press
and hold the On/Off/Reset button
until the Receiver turns off.
• When the Receiver battery power
is low, the green LED and beeper will
turn on and off repeatedly. Replace
the battery immediately.
