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 instructions:
• 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.
• 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.
• Always operate this solenoid-type tester
within the specified duty cycle on the front of
the tester.
• Do not use without batteries and caps
properly installed. (61-076)
• Remove test leads prior to removing battery
caps. (61-076)
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.
• Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as safety glasses, face shields,
insulating gloves, insulating boots, and/or
insulating mats.
• Before each use:
• Perform a continuity test by touching the
probe tips together, the continuity LED
should light. This test verifies the functionality of the batteries and test leads.
(61-076)
• 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
• Auto-Switching Voltage/Continuity
Technology (61-076)
• Independent solenoid and electronic circuitry
design provides back-up voltage indication
for added safety
• Low Impedance

To Measure AC/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, DC
polarity, and the voltage level.
Warning
Do not exceed duty cycle specified on tester.
To Test for Continuity (61-076):
• Ensure that the plug for the test leads is fully
seated into the banana jacks.
• Test for continuity by connecting the tester to
the de-energized circuit.
• If circuit has <500kΩ, the Continuity LED
lights.
• Reversing prods on the circuit under test
verifies continuity versus low voltage +DC.
Applications:
• Locating Blown Fuses
With power off (61-076):
Place tester across the
suspected fuse to perform
continuity check. If
continuity LEDlights, the
fuse is good. If not, the
fuse is defective.
With power on: Place tester across the
“source” side of one fuse and the load side of
an adjoining fuse. If no or low voltage is indicated, the fuse next to the load side prod is
blown. If line 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.
• Finding Grounded Side of Line
(neutral)
Hold one test prod to the ground and touch
the other test prod to each of the line terminals
until one is found that does not give a voltage
indication. This is the grounded side of the
line.
The continuity LED should also light. (61-076)
• Checking Continuity of Cords, Motors,
Appliances, etc. (61-076)
Remove power source and place tester across
circuit to be tested. Continuity LEDlights if
resistance is less than 500kΩ.
• Locating Excessive Leakage to Ground
(61-076)
Place tester across the neutral terminal and the
ground. The single continuity LED should indicate neutral and ground are connected. If both
LEDs light, there is > 5VAC (N-G) indicating a
high resistance leakage to ground.

Battery Replacement (61-076):
• Replace batteries when touching the leads
together no longer lights the continuity LED.
• Remove test leads from tester.
• Carefully, pry the two battery caps from the
bottom of the case using a screwdriver.
• Replace the batteries.
• Snap the battery caps back in place ensuring
the cap is flush with the bottom of the case.

• Quite los cables de prueba para quitar la tapa
de las pilas. (61-076)
Precaución
Para protegerse, piense en la "Seguridad ante
todo":
• Los voltajes que superen 30 VCA o 60 VCA
presentan un peligro de descarga, por lo que
debe tener cuidado.
• No se conecte nunca a tierra cuando tome
medidas eléctricas.
• Use equipos de protección personal tales
como gafas de seguridad, máscaras, guantes
aislantes, botas aislantes y esteras aislantes.
• Use el método de prueba de 3 pasos antes de
usarlo:
• Realice una prueba de continuidad poniendo en contacto las puntas de la sonda entre
sí, la luz LED de continuidad debe encenderse. Esta prueba verifica la funcionalidad
de las pilas y cables de prueba.
(61-076)
• Verifique la operación del probador midiendo un voltaje conocido. Aplique el
probador al circuito que se esté probando.
Y después pruebe el voltaje conectado
conocido para asegurar una operación
apropiada.
• Conecte el cable común negro a tierra antes
de aplicar el cable de prueba rojo al voltaje.
Desconecte primero el cable de prueba rojo
del voltaje.
• Trabaje siempre con un compañero.
• Al usar las sondas, mantenga los dedos lo más
detrás posible de las puntas de las sondas.
Características:
• Modalidad de vibración con movimiento de
indicador
• Tecnología de voltaje/continuidad de conmutación automática (61-076)
• Diseño de solenoides y circuitos electrónicos
independientes que proporciona una indicación de voltaje de reserva para mayor
seguridad.
