RECEPTACLE TEST
ET270 Receptacle test is designed for use with North American
3-wire, grounded 120V electrical outlets. DO NOT connect to
higher voltage electrical supplies.
Prior to use, always verify tester operation by testing on a known
live and correctly wired electrical circuit.
1. With the Receptacle Test Cord (12) inserted into the front jacks of the
tester (3), (4), (5), rotate Function Selector Switch (2) to the Receptacle
Test
setting. When the tester is powered on, and not connected to
a circuit the LCD (1) will display "
powerup, the display will flash "
Receptacle Test Cord (12) should be used rather than test leads.
2. With the tester powered ON and inserted into the receptacle to be tested,
the Indicator LED (11) will illuminate either red or green:
• If the Indicator LED (11) illuminates red, the circuit is not wired correctly
and/or the voltage is not between 85V AC and 135V AC. Note the
voltage (X) and wiring fault(s) (O), (P), (Q), (R), (T), (V) indicated (see
table in WIRING CONDITIONS section). When the receptacle is de-
energized or the tester is unplugged, the tester holds the information
on the LCD and the Data Hold Indicator (B) will illuminate. During this
time, the Indicator LED (11) will blink. If no voltage is detected, the LCD
will reset after approximately 10 seconds. If the tester is plugged into
another circuit, the LCD will update to show the voltage and wiring
condition of that circuit.
If the tester indicates that the circuit is not wired correctly,
consult a qualified electrician.
• If the Indicator LED (11) illuminates green, the circuit is wired correctly,
and the voltage is between 85V AC and 135V AC.
NOTE: The Hazardous Voltage Indicator (N) will appear if the detected
voltage is above 25V AC.
