Operation

Electric shock hazard:
• Contact with live circuits can result in
severe injury or death.
• The 5708 and 5708-I cannot properly test
two-wire circuits.
1.
To help prevent false readings, unplug any appliances or equipment
on the circuit under test.
2.
Set the selector to 0 mA and plug the unit into the GFCI's receptacle
(NEMA 5-15R type only).
3.
Compare the LEDs illuminated on the 5708 or 5708-I to the
diagram on the face of the unit.
Note: If the LEDs indicate anything other than "Correct Wiring",
have the wiring corrected by a qualified electrician.
4.
Press the GFCI's built-in reset button, then press its test button.
5.
After resetting the GFCI, move the selector to the next higher setting.
The red test LED will turn on to indicate that testing is in progress, and
will turn off when the test is finished or when the GFCI trips.
6.
Wait for the red LED to turn on and off. Observe the yellow LEDs on
the unit to determine if the GFCI has tripped. If not, move the
selector to the next higher setting. Repeat this process until the
GFCI trips or until the highest setting is reached. The setting at
which the GFCI trips is the Leakage Current Trip Point. See the
Settings Table.
