ND 3522-5 Vol-Con Instruct
To Measure AC/DC Voltage:
• Ensure that the plug for the test leads is fully
seated into the banana jacks.
• Connect the tester in parallel with the load or
circuit.
• The tester indicates the voltage type, DC
polarity, and the voltage level.
Warning
Do not exceed duty cycle specified on tester.
To Test for Continuity (61-076):
• Ensure that the plug for the test leads is fully
seated into the banana jacks.
• Test for continuity by connecting the tester to
the de-energized circuit.
• If circuit has <500kΩ, the Continuity LED
lights.
• Reversing prods on the circuit under test
verifies continuity versus low voltage +DC.

Applications:
• Locating Blown Fuses
With power off (61-076):
Place tester across the
suspected fuse to perform
continuity check. If
continuity LED lights, the
fuse is good. If not, the
fuse is defective.
With power on: Place tester across the
"source" side of one fuse and the load side of
an adjoining fuse. If no or low voltage is indi-
cated, the fuse next to the load side prod is
blown. If line voltage is indicated, the fuse
next to the load side prod is OK. Repeat the
same test with the prods on the opposite side
of the same two fuses to check the other fuse.
• Finding Grounded Side of Line
(neutral)
Hold one test prod to the ground and touch
the other test prod to each of the line terminals
until one is found that does not give a voltage
indication. This is the grounded side of the
line.
The continuity LED should also light. (61-076)
• Checking Continuity of Cords, Motors,
Appliances, etc. (61-076)
Remove power source and place tester across
circuit to be tested. Continuity LED lights if
resistance is less than 500kΩ.
• Locating Excessive Leakage to Ground
(61-076)
Place tester across the neutral terminal and the
ground. The single continuity LED should indi-
cate neutral and ground are connected. If both
LEDs light, there is > 5VAC (N-G) indicating a
high resistance leakage to ground.
