SECTION I: VENDOR INSTALLATION (CONTINUED)
For Type 1 and Type 2 outlets, test for Grounding and Polarization as follows:
1. With a test device (volt meter or test light), connect one probe to the receptacle's
neutral contact and the other to the live contact. The test device should show a
reaction.
2. Connect one probe to the receptacle's earth contact and the other to the live
contact. The test device should show a reaction.
For Type 3 through Type 5 outlets, test for Grounding as follows:
1. With a test device (volt meter or test light), determine which of the receptacle's
power contacts is the live contact.
A. Connect one probe to the receptacle's earth contact.
B. Connect the second probe to the left (or upper) power contact. If a
reaction occurs, this is the live power contact. If a reaction does not occur,
move the second probe to the right (or lower) contact. A reaction should
occur, indicating that this is the live power contact.
2. Connect one probe to the receptacle's live power contact (as determined in step
1). Connect the second probe to the other power contact (neutral). The test
device should show a reaction.
IF THE ABOVE CONDITIONS ARE NOT MET FOR THE GIVEN OUTLET
