Ideal SureTest 61-164 Manual De Instrucciones página 8

To conduct a GFCI test, press the GFCI button to enter the GFCI main menu. The GFCI symbol in
the display should be highlighted as the default test. If EPD is lit, then use the side arrow (
to highlight the GFCI symbol. Then, press the GFCI button to activate the test. The actual current
being leaked to ground is displayed. The TEST icon and hourglass symbol appear on the display
to let the user know that the GFCI test is being performed. The GFCI device should trip within the
UL established guideline causing the display to blank out with the loss of power. When the GFCI
device is reset, the unit displays the actual trip time that the GFCI took to respond to the current
imbalance and open the circuit. Pressing the down arrow button ( ) returns it to the wiring veri-
fication mode. If the GFCI fails to trip, the SureTest terminates the test after 6.5 seconds. Further
inspection should determine whether the GFCI circuitry is faulty, the GFCI is installed incorrectly,
or if the circuit is protected by a GFCI device.

for trip time:
Notes:
1) In order to test a GFCI in a 2-wire system (no ground), the #61-175 ground continuity
adapter must be used. Connect the alligator clip on the adapter to a ground source, such as
to a metal, water or gas pipe.
2) All appliances or equipment on the ground circuit being tested should be unplugged
to help avoid erroneous readings.
In addition to performing a GFCI test for evaluating personal protection from shock hazards, the
SureTest can also conduct testing to ensure equipment protection from ground faults exceeding
30mA. The method of operation is the same as the GFCI test noted in the first paragraph above
but uses a different resistor to create a 30mA leakage current from hot-to-ground. To conduct an
EPD test on an Equipment Protective Device, press the GFCI button to enter the GFCI main menu.
The GFCI symbol in the display should be highlighted as the default test. Press the side arrow
( ) button to highlight the EPD symbol. Then, press the GFCI button to activate the test. The
actual current being leaked to ground is displayed. The TEST icon and hourglass symbol appear
on the display to let the user know that the EPD test is being performed. The EPD should trip
causing the display to blank out with the loss of power. When the EPD is reset and power is
restored, the unit displays the actual trip time that the EPD took to respond to the current imbal-
ance and open the circuit. Pressing the down arrow button ( ) returns it to the wiring verification
mode. If the EPD fails to trip, the SureTest terminates the test after 6.5 seconds. Further inspection
should determine whether the EPD circuitry is faulty, the EPD is installed incorrectly, or if the
circuit is protected by an EPD.
