Measuring Voltage - Klein Tools ET60 Manuel D'utilisation

ENGLISH

MEASURING VOLTAGE

Apply test leads to the system under test to measure voltage; the
LED's will light up indicating the voltage present. When DC voltage
is detected the + or – polarity indicator will illuminate revealing
the polarity. When AC voltage is detected, both + and – polarity
indicators will be illuminated at the same time.
NOTE: Test-leads seated in the lead holders on the back of the ET60
are spaced correctly to test tamper-resistant US-style outlets.
GHOST/STRAY VOLTAGES
The low input impedance of ~16kΩ reduces the possibility of falsely
reading ghost or stray voltages on non-energized circuits.
GFCI TESTING
Check the GFCI receptacle user manual for more information.
Always contact a qualified electrician to resolve wiring problems.
Operate the test button on the GFCI receptacle. If the GFCI circuit
does not trip, the receptacle is not operating properly.
To test the functionality of a GFCI-protected receptacle, apply leads to
the hot/live and ground terminals for 7 seconds.
To resolve wiring or GFCI concerns, contact a qualified electrician.
CAUTION: The maximum testing voltage is 600V. Voltages in
excess of 600V will illuminate the 600V LED indicator. No other
warnings will be delivered for voltages above 600V. Testing voltages
above 600V should not be attempted under any circumstances.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
• If the GFCI receptacle is wired properly,
the GFCI will trip and the circuit will become
de-energized. The ET60 tester will stop
indicating voltage.
• If the GFCI receptacle is incorrectly wired, the
power to the circuit will remain and the ET60
will continue to indicate voltage
Measuring above 240V
should be limited to
30 seconds continuous,
followed by a recommended
recovery time of at least
240 seconds (4 minutes).
