The Amperage (A) menu displays the Estimated Load on Line (ELL) in real-time and holds the
maximum amperage in the upper right of the display. The main menu has a submenu positioned
horizontally which displays (ASCC1), Available Short-Circuit Current from H-N and (ASCC2)
Available Short Circuit Current H-N-G. To navigate through the submenu, use the side arrow
button. (
)
The Impedance (Z) main menu displays the impedance in ohms (Ω) of the hot conductor. This
main menu has a sub-menu positioned horizontally at the bottom of the screen that also displays
the neutral (N) and ground (G) conductor impedances. To navigate through the submenu, use the
side arrow button (
GFCI Test Button
Depressing this button displays the GFCI main menu. Two tests can
be performed in this menu: GFCI and EPD. The GFCI tests Ground
Fault Circuit Interrupting devices by faulting 6-9mA from hot-to-
ground per UL-1436. The EPD tests those breakers, which have an
Equipment Protective Device feature that trips the breaker if a ground fault of greater than 30mA is
detected. Pressing the side arrow button (
test is highlighted, depress the GFCI test button on the keypad to activate the test.
AFCI Test Button
Depressing this button displays the AFCI main menu. Two tests
can be performed in this menu: AFCI and NEUT. The AFCI tests
Arc Fault Circuit Interrupting devices by creating a 106-141 amp
short-duration arc between the hot and neutral conductors per
UL1436. The NEUT tests for a Shared Neutral or falsely grounded neutral conductor, which
causes AFCI breakers to nuisance trip with normal loads. This test applies 300mA between hot
and neutral to ensure that the AFCI breaker does not trip.
Testing Procedure
Wiring Verification
Immediately after being inserted into a receptacle, the
SureTest displays the IDEAL logo while it performs a battery
of tests. The first test result displayed is the wiring condition. The
SureTest checks for the following conditions and indicates the test
result on the display.
