Description

The Greenlee GT-65 and GT-95 Voltage and Continuity Testers are intended

to measure voltage and verify continuity. Each model has LEDs to indicate

common voltages. They also have non-contact and single-probe voltage

detection capability.

In addition, the GT-95 has an easy-to-read LCD and a shaker to signal AC

voltage measurement. This model can trip a ground-fault circuit interrupter

(GFCI). The LEDs glow green at low voltage, and change to red when the

measured voltage presents a shock hazard.

Both models have an indicator self-test feature that allows the user to verify

the functionality of the voltage-indicating LEDs, the continuity beeper, and

the GT-95 LCD.

Safety

Safety is essential in the use and maintenance of Greenlee tools and

equipment. This instruction manual and any markings on the tool provide

SAFETY ALERT SYMBOL

Immediate hazards which, if not avoided, WILL result in severe injury or

death.

Hazards which, if not avoided, COULD result in severe injury or death.

Hazards or unsafe practices which, if not avoided, MAY result in injury or

property damage.

Read and understand this material before

operating or servicing this equipment. Failure to

understand how to safely operate this tool could

result in an accident causing serious injury or

death.

Important Safety Information

Electric shock hazard:

Contact with live circuits could result in severe

injury or death.

Electric shock and fire hazard:

• Do not expose this unit to rain or moisture.

• Do not use the unit if it is wet or damaged.

• Use test leads or accessories that are appropriate for the application.

Refer to the category and voltage rating of the test lead or accessory.

• Inspect the test leads or accessory before use. They must be clean

and dry, and the insulation must be in good condition.

• Use this unit for the manufacturer’s intended purpose only, as

described in this manual. Any other use can impair the protection

provided by the unit.

Failure to observe these warnings could result in severe injury or death.

Electric shock hazard:

• Do not apply more than the rated voltage between any two input

terminals, or between any input terminal and earth ground.

• Do not contact the test lead tips or any uninsulated portion of the

accessory.

Failure to observe these warnings could result in severe injury or death.

Electric shock hazard:

• Do not operate with the case or battery cover open.

• Before opening the case or battery cover, remove the test leads from

the circuit and shut off the unit.

Failure to observe these warnings could result in severe injury or death.

GT-65 • GT-95

Important Safety Information

Electric shock hazard:

• Unless measuring voltage, shut off and lock out power. Make sure that

all capacitors are discharged. Voltage must not be present.

• Using this unit near equipment that generates electromagnetic

interference can result in unstable or inaccurate readings.

Failure to observe these warnings could result in severe injury or death.

Electric shock hazard:

Do not change the measurement function while the test leads are

connected to a component or circuit.

Failure to observe this precaution may result in injury and can damage

the unit.

Electric shock hazard:

• Do not attempt to repair this unit. It contains no user-serviceable

parts.

• Do not expose the unit to extremes in temperature or high humidity.

Refer to “Specifications.”

Failure to observe these precautions may result in injury and can damage

the unit.

Electric shock hazard:

When testing GFCIs installed in two-wire systems (no ground wire

available), the tester may give a false indication that the GFCI is not

functioning properly. If this occurs, recheck the operation of the GFCI

using the test and reset buttons. The GFCI test button feature will

demonstrate proper operation.

Failure to observe this precaution may result in injury and can damage

the unit.

Using the Features

•EFPress and hold to detect the electric field that surrounds current-

carrying conductors. The EF LED will blink once, and the beeper will emit

a short sound. Signal strength is indicated by tone and flashing of the EF

LED. For the GT-95, signal strength is also displayed as a series of dashes

on the display.

– Use the tester’s built-in antenna (refer to the “Identification” section

on the previous page) for tracing live circuits or locating a break in a

wire.

– For more precision, such as distinguishing between current-carrying

and ground wires, connect a test lead to the + input terminal and use

it as a probe.

• Auto-Hold This feature automatically activates when the tester is

removed after making a voltage reading. The LEDs flash the last measured

value for 10 seconds. The GT-95 LCD holds the last measured value and

displays the

icon.

• Overvoltage Warning The 1000 VAC/380 VDC LED flashes if these levels

are exceeded. The GT-95 LCD displays “OL” above 1000 V AC or DC.

• Indicator Self-Test Short the two test leads together. The Continuity LED

will light, and the beeper will sound. With the leads still shorted, press

and hold the EF button. The beeper will turn off. The 13 voltage-indicating

LEDs will illuminate for approximately 2 to 3 seconds and then turn off.

On the GT-95, five of the LEDs will change from green to red, and all the

digits and icons in the LCD will be visible. At the conclusion of the test,

the Continuity LED and beeper will then turn back on.

• Shock Hazard Warning (GT-95 only) The voltage LEDs are red if the

measured voltage is above 54 VDC/30 VAC. Below these levels, the LEDs

are green.

• Shaker (GT-95 only) If enabled, the shaker signals that an AC voltage

greater than approximately 19 V is present between the test leads. To

enable or disable this feature, remove the leads from any voltage or

continuity source. Press and hold first the GFCI button and then the EF

button.

– The shaker will remain on until the buttons are released to confirm

that this feature is enabled.

– The shaker will turn on briefly to signal that this feature has been

disabled.

Operation

1. Refer to “Typical Measurements” for specific measurement instructions.

2. Refer to the Test Table for test instructions.

3. Perform the Indicator Self-Test as described in “Using the Features.”

Test the unit on a known functioning circuit or component.

• If the unit does not function as expected on a known functioning

circuit, replace the battery.

• If the unit still does not function as expected, send the unit to

Greenlee for repair. Refer to the instructions under the Warranty.

4. Take the reading from the circuit or component to be tested. The LEDs

illuminate as shown in the LED Table.

Electric shock hazard:

Contact with live circuits could result in severe

injury or death.

Electric shock hazard:

Do not change the measurement function while the test leads are

connected to a component or circuit.

Failure to observe this precaution may result in injury and can damage

the unit.

Typical Measurements

GFCI Test (GT-95 only)

1. Consult the GFCI manufacturer’s

installation instructions to

determine that the GFCI is

installed in accordance with the

manufacturer’s specifications.

2. Check for correct wiring of the

receptacle and all remotely

connected receptacles on the

branch circuit.

3. Operate the test button on the

GFCI installed in the circuit. The

GFCI must trip.

• If the GFCI does not trip, do

not use the circuit. Consult

an electrician.

• If the GFCI does trip, reset

the GFCI. Then connect the

GT-95 to the receptacle to be

tested, as shown.

4. Press the GFCI button on the GT-95 for a minimum of 6 seconds when

testing the GFCI condition.

• The Continuity/GFCI LED will turn on when the GFCI button is

depressed. It will turn off when the GFCI trips.

• If the GT-95 fails to trip the GFCI, it suggests:

– A wiring problem with a totally operable GFCI, or

– proper wiring with a faulty GFCI.

Consult an electrician to check the condition of the wiring and GFCI.

Electric shock hazard:

When testing GFCIs installed in two-wire systems (no ground wire

available), the tester may give a false indication that the GFCI is not

functioning properly. If this occurs, recheck the operation of the GFCI

using the test and reset buttons. The GFCI button test function will

demonstrate proper operation.

Failure to observe this precaution may result in injury and can damage

the unit.
