Rev. 05-15

Current Tester

AC Current Leakage Tester

Small leakage currents can be dangerous! The current above the
"threshold of perception" in appliances, motors and other equipment
can cause a violent reaction which may result in serious physical injury.

For service, lab, production or industry, the Model 229-2 helps determine
product conformance to standards.

CAUTION! Leakage current in appliances may increase with use and
aging. Check appliances periodically for safety.

• Designed around ANSI C39.5 requirement for the
measurement of AC leakage current and UL Safety
Standards.

• Compensated to Approximate Dalziel's Perception Curve

• Overload protected Up to 500 V Peak Momentarily on all

ranges

• Checks both 120 VAC and 240 VAC appliances

• Includes Test Leads, Battery and Manual

Carrying Case accomodates
the Tester, Test Leads and
Operators Manual
