Transmitter Operation
Verifying Receptacles for Correct Wiring:
Plug the transmitter into a standard 120 VAC receptacle.
The three LEDs on the transmitter will indicate the wiring
configuration while the label on the transmitter interprets
the LED lighting combinations.
Caution: The tester is for indication purposes only and
a correct indication does not guarantee the integrity of the
wiring. Any incorrect or unclear indications should be referred to a licensed
electrician for investigation and correction.
GFCI Testing (61-535)
1. Verify receptacle for correct wiring.
2. Consult the GFCI device manufacturer's instructions to determine that the GFCI
is installed in accordance with the manufacturer's specifications.
3. Check for correct wiring of the receptacle and all remotely connected recepta-
cles on the branch circuit.
4. Operate the test button on the GFCI installed in the circuit. The test light will
turn on, indicating the activation of the GFCI test. The GFCI must trip. If the
GFCI does not trip, consult a qualified electrician. If it does trip, reset the GFCI.
5. Activate the test button on the GFCI tester for a minimum of 6 seconds when
testing the GFCI condition. Visible indication (ALL LED's will turn off and you
will hear a click as the GFCI breaker functions) on the GFCI tester must cease
when tripped.
6. If the tester fails to trip the GFCI, it suggests: (a) a wiring problem with a totally
operable GFCI, or (b) proper wiring with a faulty GFCI. Consult with an electri-
cian to check the condition of the wiring and the GFCI.
CAUTION: When testing GFCIs installed in 2-wire systems (no ground wire
available), the tester may give a false indication that the GFCI is not functioning
properly. If this occurs, recheck the operation of the GFCI using the test and reset
buttons ON THE GFI, not the 61-535 transmitter. The GFCI button ON THE GFI test
function will demonstrate proper operation.
NOTE:
• All appliances or equipment on the circuit being tested should be unplugged to
help avoid erroneous readings.
• Not a comprehensive diagnostic instrument but a simple instrument to detect
nearly all probable common improper wiring conditions.
• Refer all indicated problems to a qualified electrician.
• Will not indicate quality of ground.
• Will not detect 2 hot wires in circuit.
• Will not detect a combination of defects.
• Will not indicate reversal of grounded and grounding conductors.
