User Manual
Model ET60
Voltage/Continuity Tester
Introduction
The ET60 is an AC/DC Voltage tester with continuity check, NCV
detector and a work light. The attached test leads are connected
with 24" of 18-gauge wire rated at 600V. The 6" test lead
handles include spring loaded protective tip sleeves.
AC/DC Voltage
Always test on a known live circuit before use.
To check for voltage, insert test leads into outlet or carefully touch test leads
to the electrical contacts or circuit to be tested. If voltage is present, the LED
indicators will illuminate in the correct range.
Use the highest illuminated range to determine the correct voltage. If the
readings are greater than 120VAC or 48VDC, the meter will vibrate.
Non-Contact Voltage (NCV)
Always test on a known live circuit before use.
To check for non-contact voltage, place the meter near a source of electrical
energy. Press the ON/OFF button to measure NCV voltage. Note that the tip of
the meter offers the highest sensitivity. If voltage is present, the LED
indicators will illuminate.
Continuity
WARNING: To avoid electric shock, never measure continuity on circuits
that have voltage on them.
Touch the test leads to the circuit under test. The bulb at the top of the
meter will illuminate if there is continuity.
Worklight
Press the ON/OFF button to activate the work light and to measure NCV.
WARNINGS:
• Risk of Electric Shock. Always check proper operation on a known live circuit
before using.
• Never ground yourself when making electrical measurements.
• Do not use outside of rated voltages.
• Do not use in wet weather.
CAUTION: Use extreme caution when checking electrical circuits to avoid
injury due to electrical shock. FLIR Systems, Inc. assumes basic knowledge of
electricity on the part of the user and is not responsible for any injury or
damages due to improper use of this tester.
