Figure 5: Lamp test against socket with the probe

Figure 6: Lamp test against glass surface with the probe

Using Sodium Lamp Antenna

Install the sodium lamp test antenna onto the Lamp Tester and make sure the switch is locked and secured. Verify lamp test function on a known lamp and/or on the identical lamp model both before and after use to ensure the instrument is in good working condition. Note: The level of lamp response/illumination from one lamp type to another or from one brand to another may vary.



Do not touch the live parts with the lamp test probe. Keep the fingers

behind the hand guard while TEST button is pressed.

Sodium lamp antenna tests:

• Low pressure sodium vapour bulbs

• High prossure sodium vapour bulbs

• Neon bulbs

• Mercury vapour bulbs

• Halogen metal vapour bulbs

1. Touch the one of the socket pin with the tip of the sodium lamp test antenna.

2. Press and hold down the LAMP TEST button

• The bulbs is good if glowing.

• If the bulb does not glow, repeat lamp test with touching the other

socket pin.

Note: If the bulb glows with either of socket pins during lamp test, the lamp is good. In some cases, only part of the bulb will glow, the other part should glow when testing the other socket pin.

VolTect™ Non-contact Voltage Detection

Amprobe LT-10 Lamp Tester is NOT equipped with a probe tip to be inserted into the slot of the receptacle contact. Testing voltage that way will not be reliable.

The LT-10 can only be used for detecting hot wires in outlets when the wiring is exposed.

With some cables, such as extension cords, hot and neutral wires might be twisted. In order to reliably test voltage, move the tester along the cable for some distance (typically a few inches). The tester will only indicate voltage in places where the hot wire of the twisted wires is closer to the tester. It will NOT indicate voltage in other places of the cable.

W

WARNING!

• To avoid electric shock, do not touch ANY part of antenna during lamp or voltage tests. Touching antenna during these tests affects tester sensitivity.

• If the instrument is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, protection provided by the tester may be impaired.

• Test on a known energized source within the rated ac voltage range of the instrument both before and after use to ensure the instrument is in good working condition.

• The non-contact voltage detection function is always on. When the probe or antenna is close to energized wires, LED flashes and beeps. Non-contact voltage detection will be disabled when the LAMP TEST button is pressed.

• When using the instrument, if LED indicator does not glow or the instrument does not beep, voltage could still be present. The instrument indicates active voltage in the presence of electrostatic fields of sufficient strength generated from the source voltage. If the field strength is low, the instrument may not provide indication of live voltage. Lack of an indication occurs if the instrument is unable to sense the presence of voltage which may be influenced by several factors including, but not limited to:

- Shielded wire/cables

- Thickness and type of insulation

- Distance from the voltage source

- Fully-isolated users that prevent an effective ground

- Receptacles in recessed sockets or differences in socket design

- Condition of the instrument and batteries

• Do not use if the instrument appears damaged or if it doesn’t operate properly. Closely examine the tip of the probe for cracks or breakage before use. If in doubt, have the instrument serviced.

• Do not use the instrument to test voltage higher than the rated voltage as marked on the instrument.

• Use caution with voltages above 30 V ac as a shock hazard may exist.

• Comply with local and national safety requirements.

• Use proper protective equipment as required by local or national

authorities.

The non-contact voltage (NCV) test can be used to check whether the ballast is functional by verifying the presence of ac voltages at the input and output of the ballast, or the energized parts of the light fixture. The light fixture must be turned on before verifying the presence of ac voltage with the instrument.

Voltage Detection with Antenna



Do not touch the energized bare parts with the antenna. Test on

energized insulated parts or insulated wires only.

1. Turn the light fixture’s power on.

2. Use the antenna to quickly check the presence of ac voltage to the light fixture.

• If the LED flashes red and beeps (modulated), there is ac voltage

present.

Figure 7: Voltage detection with antenna

Voltage Detection with Probe



Do not touch the energized bare parts with the probe. Test on

energized insulated parts or insulated wires only.

To avoid electric shock, do not touch ANY part of antenna during lamp or voltage tests. Touching antenna during these tests affects tester sensitivity.

1. Turn the light fixture’s power on.

2. Use the probe to detect the presence of ac voltage on the wires at input of the ballast.

• If the tester’s LED flashes red and beeps, there is ac voltage present.

3. Use the probe to detect the presence of ac voltage on the wires at output of the ballast.

• If the tester’s LED flashes red and beeps, there is ac voltage present.

The lamp may be faulty.

• If LED and beeper do not activate during voltage detection at the

ballast output wires, the ballast may be faulty.

Figure 8: Voltage detection at ballast input wires

Figure 9: Voltage detection at ballast output wires

Pin Test

The pin test (filament test) can be used on dual pin fluorescent lamps that have a filament under the metal cap. The filament is used to excite the gas inside the tube and turn it on. The lamp will not function correctly if the filament is broken.



Turn the power off to the light fixture before removing the lamp from the fixture.

1. Pin test is always on. Plug the lamp pins into the pin test slots on the back of the tester.

• If the tester does not beep and LED indicator is not on, the filament

is broken. Replace the lamp.

• If the tester beeps and LED indicator is on, the filament is functional.

The pins are good.

2. Repeat step 1 with the other end of the lamp.
