Get your hands on the Klein Tools RT310 AFCI/GFCI Outlet Tester! This kit comes with three 1.5V AAA alkaline batteries and one top - notch outlet tester. It's a powerhouse for detecting common wiring faults in standard, AFCI, and GFCI electrical outlets. You can test AFCI devices by mimicking arc fault conditions and GFCI devices by simulating ground fault conditions. It can even spot a dual - open wiring fault with open neutral and ground wires at the same time. The tester gives a clear visual sign of the wiring condition at the outlet. Designed for North American 120V AC grounded electrical outlets, it has a three - pin plug on a 10 - inch (254 mm) flexible cord, making it easy to reach hard - to - access outlets. With a low - battery indicator and an easy - access battery compartment, it runs on three 1.5V AAA alkaline batteries (included). It automatically powers off after about 2 minutes of non - use to save battery life. Built tough to withstand a 6.6 - foot (2 m) drop and has a CATIII 135V safety rating, suitable for testing circuits in building low - voltage mains installations. Measuring 7.4 inches (188.0 mm) in length, 1.3 inches (33.0 mm) in height, and 2.3 inches (58.4 mm) in width, and weighing 8.5 oz (241 g), this tester is a must - have for electrical inspections.
Using the Klein Tools RT310 is easy. First, make sure the three 1.5V AAA alkaline batteries are properly installed in the easy - access battery compartment. Plug the tester into the North American 120V electrical outlet you want to test. The tester will quickly show you the wiring condition through clear visual indications. To test AFCI devices, it simulates arc fault conditions, and for GFCI devices, it simulates ground fault conditions. Remember, this tester is only for 120V AC three - wire grounded electrical outlets in North America. If you don't use it for about 2 minutes, it will automatically power off to save battery life. When not in use, store it in a dry place. The tester is built to withstand a 6.6 - foot (2 m) drop, but still handle it with care. If the low - battery indicator shows, replace the batteries promptly. This way, you can keep using the tester effectively for all your electrical outlet inspections.
