WARNINGS
To ensure safe operation and service of the meter, follow these
instructions. Failure to observe these warnings can result in
severe injury or death.
• Before each use verify tester operation by measuring a known voltage.
• Never use the tester on a circuit with voltages that exceed the
category based rating of this tester.
• Do not use the tester during electrical storms or in wet weather.
• Do not use the tester or test leads if they appear to be damaged.
• Use only with CAT IV rated test leads.
• Ensure tester leads are fully seated, and keep fingers behind
the finger guards and away from the metal probe contacts
when making measurements.
• Use caution when working with voltages above 25V AC RMS
or 60V DC. Such voltages pose a shock hazard.
• Always adhere to local and national safety codes. Use personal
protective equipment to prevent shock and arc blast injury
where hazardous live conductors are exposed.
• This is a Low Impedance (LoZ) tester, it should not be used in
circuits or situations where damage or adverse effects may be
caused by a ~ 16kΩ load.
• Tester is IP54 dust & water resistant. Following any contact
with water, thoroughly dry tester and test lead jacks prior to
subsequent use.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
CONNECTING TEST LEADS
Connect test leads by inserting the black lead into the "COM" jack
and the red lead into the "+" jack. Do not test if leads are improperly
seated. Results could cause intermittent display readings. To ensure
proper connection, firmly press leads into the input jack completely.

TESTING IN CAT III / CAT IV MEASUREMENT LOCATIONS
Ensure the test lead shield is pressed firmly in place. Failure to use
the CATIII / CATIV shield increases arc-flash risk.
5/32"
(4 mm)
TESTING IN CAT II MEASUREMENT LOCATIONS
CAT III / CAT IV shields may be removed for CAT II locations. This
will allow testing on recessed conductors such as standard wall
outlets. Take care not to lose the shields.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
MEASURING VOLTAGE
Apply test leads to the system under test to measure voltage; the
LED’s will light up indicating the voltage present. When DC voltage
is detected the + or – polarity indicator will illuminate revealing
the polarity. When AC voltage is detected, both + and – polarity
indicators will be illuminated at the same time.
NOTE: Test-leads seated in the lead holders on the back of the ET60
are spaced correctly to test tamper-resistant US-style outlets.
Measuring above 240V
should be limited to
30 seconds continuous,
followed by a recommended
recovery time of at least
240 seconds (4 minutes).
GHOST/STRAY VOLTAGES
The low input impedance of ~16kΩ reduces the possibility of falsely
reading ghost or stray voltages on non-energized circuits.
GFCI TESTING
Check the GFCI device user manual for more information.
Always contact a qualied electrician to resolve wiring problems.
Operate the test button on the GFCI device. If the GFCI circuit does
not trip, the device is not functioning properly.
To test the functionality of a GFCI-protected device, apply leads to the
hot/live and ground terminals for 7 seconds.
• If the GFCI device is functioning properly,
the GFCI will trip and the circuit will become
de-energized. The ET60 tester will stop
indicating voltage.
• If the GFCI device is not functioning properly,
the power to the circuit will remain and the
ET60 will continue to indicate voltage
To resolve wiring or GFCI concerns, contact a qualied electrician.
CAUTION: The maximum testing voltage is 600V. Voltages in
excess of 600V will illuminate the 600V LED indicator. No other
warnings will be delivered for voltages above 600V. Testing voltages
above 600V should not be attempted under any circumstances.
