Amprobe Light-Check Adapters
enable ease-of-use with single-handed
operation and ensure low contact
resistance. Maintenance free, they
feature small robust housings with an
additional finger guard safety barrier.
Light-Check Adapters are ideal for use
with installation testers, insulation
testers and wire tracers, as well as for
voltage measurements and monitoring
in power quality studies.

APPLICATIONS

The Adapters can be used in conjunction
with a wide variety of test equipment
that uses test leads terminating in 4 mm
safety connectors. The Adapters enable
a range of tests to be conducted on light
fitting terminals and ensure a good,
reliable and safe contact, eliminating
the need to hold test probes in place.

ADPTR-KIT1 CONTENTS

The Light-Check Adapter Kit consists of
a complete set of 5 Adapters (E27, B22,
E14, B15, GU10) with carrying case.

Phase and neutral are not marked for
Adapters B22, B15 and GU10 due to
the geometry of these sockets. Detect
phase and neutral by using a suitable
tester if necessary.

First connect test leads on the test
device, then to the Adapter. Ensure
correct connection of phase and
neutral if required.

Warning

To prevent possible electrical shock,
fire, or personal injury:

• Read the operating instructions
before use and follow all safety
instructions.

• Comply with local and national
safety codes. Use personal
protective equipment (approved
rubber gloves, face protection,
and flame resistant clothes) to
prevent shock and arc blast injury
where hazardous live conductors
are exposed.

• Use the adapters only as
specified, or the protection
supplied by the product can be
compromised.

• Do not work alone.

• Do not use the adapters if they
appear damaged. Examine the
adapter for damaged insulation
or exposed metal.

• Test the adapter’s terminal
continuity both before and after
use to ensure the adapter is in
good working condition.

7

• Do not apply more than the rated
voltage and rated current.

• Do not touch voltages >30 V AC
RMS, 42 V AC peak, or 60 V DC.
These voltages pose electrical
shock hazards. Keep fingers
behind the finger guards of the
adapter.

• Do not exceed the Measurement
Category (CAT) rating of
the lowest rated individual
component of a product, probe,
or accessory.

• If the adapter is used in a manner
not specified in the user manual,
the protection provided by the
equipment may be impaired.

• Measurements can be adversely
affected by impedances of
additional operating circuits
connected in parallel or by
transient currents.

• Do not use the adapter with any
of the parts removed.

• Do not use the adapter around
explosive gas, vapor, dust or wet
environments.
