IDEAL SureTest 61-154 Manual

SureTest ® Circuit Analyzer and
SureTest ® w/AFCI Instructions
Introduction
The SureTest ® family of circuit analyzers were designed to
troubleshoot branch circuits quickly, easily and accurately.
They have a patented technology that allows them to test
branch circuits under a full load condition to identify
hidden problems behind the wall that will not be
found with traditional testing methods.
Product Features
• True RMS
• Measures voltage drop under 12, 15 and 20-amp load

• Identifies false (bootleg) grounds
• Verifies dedicated circuits (with 61-176 adapter)
• Tests GFCIs for proper operation
• Tests AFCI's for proper operation (61-155)
• Includes carrying case
• Includes 1-ft. extension cord
General Operation
The SureTest ® Circuit Analyzer, #61-154 and SureTest® Circuit Analzer,
#61-155 take only seconds to test each outlet and circuit under a full load.
They check for various wiring conditions, including: correct wiring, polarity
reversal, hot/ground reversal and no ground. A simple programming menu
gives access to measurements of line voltage, voltage drop under a full load
condition, ground-neutral voltage and line impedances. The ground fault
circuit interrupter (GFCI) test is performed separately and will disrupt the
electrical supply if a functional GFCI is present

#61-154 The SureTest ®
(AFCI) test to ensure that AFCI breakers protecting the circuit have been
#61-155
installed correctly and are operating properly. This test is performed sepa-
rately in accordance with UL1436, and will disrupt the electrical supply if a
functional AFCI is present.
For proper troubleshooting of a branch circuit, insert the SureTest into the fur-
thest receptacle from the panel. Any discrepancies from a normal reading dur-
ing a measurement indicate that a problem has been detected in the circuit.
Allow at least 20 seconds between insertions. Repeatedly inserting the SueTest
into a receptacle will cause the unit to heat up which may affect the accuracies.
WARNING: Do not use on outputs from UPS systems, light
dimmers or square wave generating equipment.
