To use the SPERRY GFI6302 Non-Contact Voltage Tester to test for voltage in an outlet, follow these steps:
1. Before starting, make sure you have read and understood all the operating instructions provided in the manual.
2. Plug the tester into the outlet you want to test. The tester is designed to work with standard 120-volt outlets and GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) protected circuits.
3. Observe the indicators on the tester. The tester uses visual indicators to show the presence of voltage. Refer to the chart on the tester to interpret the indicators.
4. If the tester indicates a wiring problem, turn off all power to the outlet before proceeding. It is recommended to call a qualified electrician to troubleshoot and repair any defective electrical circuits.
5. If you are specifically testing a GFCI protected outlet, ensure that the power is on and the outlet is wired properly.
6. Press the GFCI test button on the tester. If the circuit is wired properly, the main GFCI outlet should trip and power to the circuit should be off. This is indicated by the neon lamps on the tester turning off.
7. It's important to note that when checking circuits with a GFCI outlet, the tester may indicate "hot/ground reversed" even when the actual wiring condition is an open neutral.
Remember to always exercise caution when working with electrical circuits and follow all standard industry safety rules and local electrical codes. If you are unsure or uncomfortable with electrical work, it is recommended to call a qualified electrician for assistance.
