FIG. 1
Press the Power button 3 to power on the receiver 2 , press and hold the Power button 3 to power off the receiver. A green indicator 4 illuminated in the Sensing Tip 5 and pulsing audible beep indicates that the unit is powered ON. The receiver will automatically power off following 3 minutes of inactivity. The transmitter 1 is powered by the circuit when inserted into an energized electrical outlet.
Prior to using this tester, always verify proper operation by testing the transmitter on a known energized and correctly wired electrical outlet.
Insert transmitter 1 into the electrical outlet being tested and compare the illuminated wiring condition indicators 6 with the wiring condition codes 7 printed on the transmitter (FIG. 1).
If the tester indicates that the outlet is not wired correctly, consult a qualified electrician.
NOTE: Conditions NOT indicated include but are not limited to quality of ground, multiple hot wires, reversal of neutral and ground conductors, dual open ground and neutral, and other combinations of defects.
NOTE: All appliances or equipment on the circuit being tested should be unplugged to help reduce the possibility of erroneous readings.
NOTE: Check the GFCI device's user manual for information on how the specific device operates prior to using this tester.
NOTE: All appliances or equipment on the circuit being tested should be unplugged to help reduce the possibility of erroneous readings.
NOTE: Not designed for testing 30mA ground-fault devices. Insert the transmitter into the electrical outlet and note the wiring condition 6 & 7 .
If the tester indicates that the outlet is not wired correctly, DO
NOT attempt to test the GFCI device. Consult a qualified electrician.
Press the GFCI button 8 on the transmitter 1 to test the GFCI device.
Following the test:
Insert the transmitter 1 into the electrical outlet and note the Wiring Condition 6 & 7. If the transmitter indicates that the outlet is energized and correctly wired, prepare to scan the breakers in the breaker panel with the receiver 2.
If the tester indicates that the outlet is not wired correctly, cease testing and consult a qualifi ed electrician.
Power ON the receiver. Before approaching the electrical panel, push the Power On/Off/Reset button 3 once to reset the receiver. Position the receiver so that the sensing tip 5 is oriented perpendicular to the breakers in the panel. Slowly scan all breakers in the panel once, ignoring any audible or visual indications as the receiver is learning the panel. Scan all breakers a second time. When the breaker connected to the circuit with the transmitter is approached, the frequency of the audible beeps will increase. When located, the audible beep will sound continuously, the circuit status indicator will illuminate red 9 , and the green indicator in the sensing tip 4 will turn off, indicating that the correct breaker has been found.
NOTE: Resetting the receiver erases prior scanning data stored from a previously 'learned' panel. Always reset the receiver away from the electrical panel to ensure that electrical signals are not being sensed during the reset operation.
Screw the light fixture adapter into an empty light socket. Connect the transmitter 1 to the 3-to-2 prong adapter, and connect this to the light fixture adapter. The indicators on the transmitter will communicate an open ground wiring condition if the light socket is energized. Follow the instructions in the FINDING CIRCUIT BREAKERS section to find the correct circuit breaker.
The transmitter may be connected to bare wires using the outlet-toalligator clips wire adapter. Carefully attach the alligator clips the correct wires. Insert transmitter into the outlet on the wire adapter. The indicators on the transmitter will communicate an open ground wiring condition if the wires are energized. Follow the instructions in the FINDING CIRCUIT BREAKERS section to find the correct circuit breaker.
Exercise extreme caution when working around energized bare wires.
When the Power-On indicator 4 blinks, the battery must be replaced.
Be sure unit is turned off and wipe with a clean, dry lint-free cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents. Take care to keep the sensor lens clean at all times. If required, loose debris may be removed from lens using clean compressed air. Lens may also be cleaned using a soft cloth or cotton swab with water or rubbing alcohol only. Lens must be allowed to completely dry prior to use.
The Klein Tools ET310 is a digital circuit breaker finder used to locate the correct circuit breaker in a panel to which an electrical outlet or fixture is connected. The transmitter is connected to the electrical outlet or fixture in the circuit while the receiver is used to scan the breakers in the circuit breaker panel.
