GT-65 • GT-95
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.
