Page 4: Introduction
PGT-61-154 SureTest Circuit Analyzer Introduction The SureTest circuit analyzer was designed to troubleshoot branch circuits quickly, easily and accurately. It has a patented technology that allows it 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. - Page 5 PGT-61-154 SureTestCircuit Analyzer WARNING! Do not use on outputs from UPS system, light dimmers or square wave generating equipment. III. Menu Structure The measurements taken by the SureTest Model 61-154 are organized into a simple menu. The first measurement in each menu selection is listed on the face of the unit. To the right of each menu is the unit of measure for the tests performed within that menu.

PGT-61-154 SureTest Circuit Analyzer B. Measurement Icon The measurement icon is located on the right-hand side of the display. The icon consists of the measurement symbol and test to describe which test is being measured. For example, the following icon indicates that the numerical value displayed is the % of voltage drop under a 12-Amp load. - Page 7 PGT-61-154 SureTestCircuit Analyzer measurement menu, but only the line voltage and voltage drop measurements are available. In a polarity reversal condition, the SureTest will not be able to take any measurement, so the unit will not be able to access the measurement menu under these conditions.

Measurement Icon Line Voltage Peak Voltage Frequency The line voltage measurement is the first measurement within this menu selection. Pressing the side arrow button (→) moves the unit from measurement to measurement within the line voltage menu.

- Page 10 PGT-61-154 SureTest Circuit Analyzer Voltage Drop at 20-Amp load The National Electrical Code recommends 5% as the maximum voltage drop for branch circuits for reasonable efficiency (NEC article 210-19. FPN 4). High voltage drop could be an indication of a high resistance connection within the circuit, undersized wire for the load or length or run, or a defective device on the branch circuit.

- Page 14 PGT-61-154 SureTest Circuit Analyzer GFCI Testing The SureTest applies 6mA through a fixed resistor to trip the GFCI. A functional GFCI will disconnect the power. The reset button for the GFCI may be at the receptacle or at the panel. NOTE: The SureTest will not allow the GFCI test if a no ground condition exists.
- Page 15 PGT-61-154 SureTestCircuit Analyzer J. Locating High Resistance Connections Troubleshooting to identify the cause of the high impedance within the electrical system is actually quite simple. First, measure the voltage drop at the furthest receptacle from the panel on the branch circuit under test. If the voltage drop is high, then further investigation is necessary.
