Description
The Greenlee 5708 and 5708-I GFCI and Circuit Testers are intended to
verify the operation of a three-wire 120 volt ground fault circuit
interrupter that has a standard (NEMA 5-15R) receptacle.
In addition to the GFCI testing capability, the 5708 and 5708-I also verify
that the wiring is correct. They do not perform comprehensive diagnostic
testing, but perform a simple check that detects most common wiring faults
on three-wire circuits. Be aware that these tools will
not
detect two hot
wires in a circuit, reversed grounded and grounding conductors, or multiple
wiring faults. Also, they cannot indicate the quality of a ground.
In this manual, the term “GFCI” refers to a ground fault interrupter or a
ground fault circuit interrupter.
