IDEAL 61-065 User Manual
• Use appropriate personal protective equipment
such as safety glasses, face shields, insulating
gloves, insulating boots, and/or insulating
mats.
• Use the 3-Step Testing Method. Before each
use:
• Verify tester operation by measuring a
known voltage. Apply tester to circuit under
test. And, then test on the known live voltage again to ensure proper operation.
• Connect the black common lead to ground
before applying the red test lead to voltage.
Disconnect the red test lead from the voltage first.
• Always work with a partner.
• When using the probes, keep fingers as far
behind the probe tips as possible.
Features:
• Vibration Mode with indicator movement
• Independent solenoid and electronic circuitry
design provides back-up voltage indication
for added safety
• Low Impedance Measuring Device
• Replaceable Test Leads
• Shielded probe tips
• Ultrasonically welded for added durability
Accessories:
• 61-072 Resistor-fused test leads
• C-90 Soft-sided carrying case
• 61-010 Leather case
To Measure AC Voltage:
• Ensure that the plug for the test leads is fully
seated into the banana jacks.
• Connect the tester in parallel with the load or
circuit.
• The tester indicates both the voltage type and
the voltage level.
To Measure DC Voltage:
• Ensure that the plug for the test leads is fully
seated into the banana jacks.
• Connect the tester in parallel with the load or
circuit.
• The tester indicates the voltage type, polarity,
and the voltage level.

Voltage Tester
Instruction Manual
WARNING
Read First: Safety Information
Use the tester only as specified in this manual;
otherwise, the protection provided by the tester
may be impaired.
Warning
To avoid possible electric shock or personal
injury, follow these guidelines:
• Do not use tester if it is damaged. Visually
inspect tester to ensure case is not cracked.
• Inspect and replace leads if insulation is
damaged, metal is exposed, or probes are
cracked. Pay particular attention to the
insulation surrounding the connectors.
• Do not use tester if it operates abnormally as
protection maybe impaired.
• Do not use during electrical storms or in wet
weather.
• Do not use around explosive gas, dust, or vapor.
• Do not apply more than the rated voltage to
the tester. Voltage is not to exceed 600V.
• Always operate this solenoid-type tester
within the specified duty cycle on the front of
the tester. Duty cycle ratio is:
• 1:7 ON:OFF time for 240V or less
• 1:40 ON:OFF time for 240V or greater.
• Maximum ON time is 15 seconds.
Caution
To protect yourself, think "Safety First":
• Voltages exceeding 30VAC or 60VDC pose
a shock hazard so use caution.
• Never ground yourself when taking electrical
measurements.

Applications:
• Locating Blown Fuses
With power on: Place
tester across the “source”
side of one fuse and the
load side of an adjoining
fuse. If no voltage is
indicated, the fuse next to
the load side prod is blown.
If voltage is indicated, the fuse next to the
load side prod is OK. Repeat the same test
with the prods on the opposite side of the
same two fuses to check the other fuse.
On a three phase circuit, repeat the same test
as above. An indication of no voltage or
lower than normal line voltage indicates the
blown fuse.
• Testing for 25 to 60 Cycle Frequency
Place tester between each side of AC line. A
low frequency hum and slow vibrations indicate 25 cycle current. 60 cycle current is
indicated by a higher frequency hum and
more rapid vibrations.
Test Lead Replacement:
• Replace leads only with IDEAL test leads
below.
• # 61-070 Standard Test Leads with
Shielded Probe Tips
• # 61-072 Resistor-fused Test Leads with
Shielded Probe Tips. Each probe tip contains a special, current-limiting resistor
which acts like a fuse to limit short-circuit
current and prevents dangerous arcing
during a shorted condition. The resistors
are rated to 140Ω +/- 10%. Fusing current is 1A at 125V. Fusing time is 3060ms at 125V, without causing dangerous
conditions during opening of the fuse element. Leads need to be replaced when
fuse has opened.
