SureTest
Instruction Manual
Introduction
Utilizing patented technology, the SureTest
"look behind walls" to identify wiring problems that can lead to
personal shock hazards, electrical fires, or equipment performance issues. Personal shock hazards
stem from poor grounding, false grounds, and/or no ground fault protection. Electrical fires are
primarily caused from arc faults and high resistance points that lead to glowing connections in the
circuit wiring. And, equipment performance issues arise due to insufficient voltage available under
load, poor ground impedance, and high ground-to-neutral voltage. In fact, it's estimated that 80%
of power quality performance issues are related to the faulty wiring issues stated above.
Product Features
• True RMS
• Indicates voltage drop at 12, 15 and 20-amp loads
• Measures voltage: Line, Ground-to-Neutral, Peak, Frequency
• Indicates Hot, Neutral and Ground conductor impedances
• Identifies proper wiring in 3-wire receptacles
• Identifies false (bootleg) grounds
• Tests GFCIs for proper operation and reports time to trip.
• Tests AFCI circuits for proper wiring (61-165). This unit is no longer available.
• Checks for Shared Neutrals that lead to AFCI nuisance tripping (61-165)
• Verifies dedicated circuits (with 61-176 adapter)
• Includes 1-ft. extension cord and carrying case
General Operation
The SureTest Circuit Analyzer takes only seconds to test each outlet and circuit under a short
®
duration rated load. This test tool checks for various wiring conditions including: correct wiring,
polarity reversal and no ground per UL-1436. A simple menu gives access to measurements of line
voltage, voltage drop under a full load condition, ground-neutral voltage and line impedances. The
ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) test is performed separately in accordance with UL-1436 and
disrupts the electrical supply if a functional and grounded GFCI is present.
