General Operation
The SureTest Models ST-1THD and ST-1THDC Circuit/Distortion Analyzers
take only seconds to test each outlet and circuit under a full load. The
ST-1THD features two easy to use operating menus. The Wiring Menu
gives access to measurements of line voltage, voltage drop at a full 15
amperes and 20 amperes, ground-to-neutral voltage, resistance of the hot a
neutral conductor, ground impedance. A ground fault circuit interrupter
(GFCI) test is also performed that will disrupt the electrical supply if a func-
tional GFCI is present.
The Wave Form Menu gives access to measurements of % line voltage total
harmonic distortion (THD), line voltage harmonics to the 31st harmonic, %
neutral current THD, neutral current harmonics to the 31st harmonic and
line frequency.
In addition to these two programming menus, the ST-1THDC features a third
menu when used with the #61-181 Amp Clamp Adapter. The Clamp
Adapter Menu gives access to measurements of True RMS current, THD,
and harmonics to the 31st harmonic.
Any discrepancies from a normal reading indicate that a problem has been
detected in the circuit.
For use in 3-prong (grounded) outlets, inset the ST-1THD into the recepta-
cle with the ground pin extended. For use in 2-prong (non-grounded) out-
lets, leave the ground pin retracted. In non-grounded (2-prong) outlets
many of the tests will be non-functional due to an absence of ground.

WARNING
Do not use on outputs from UPS systems, light dimmers or square
wave generating equipment.
Insert the unit into the receptacle; observe test results and then move on to
the next receptacle. Allow at least 20 seconds between insertions.
Repeatedly inserting the SureTest into a receptacle will exceed its ability to
dissipate heat within the unit, resulting in fluctuating readings or damage to
the unit.
Wiring Verification
The St-1THD will test the wiring of a receptacle to identify if errors are pre-
sent. Error messages will be displayed for polarity reversal, no ground, and
false ground conditions.
“E_rP” on the LED display indicates that the hot and neutral wires are
reversed.
“E_nG” on the LED display indicates that no ground is present. The ST-
1THD will not perform any of the tests involving the ground circuit if a no
ground condition is detected.
“E_FG” on the LED display indicates a false ground condition. False
ground is defined as a short between the ground and neutral wires very
close to the receptacle. A false ground may also be indicated if the recepta-
cle is within 15 feet of the neutral-ground bonding point at the panel, or if
conduit is being used as the ground conductor.

Outlet Circuit Testing
Unless a wiring error exists, the ST-1THD will show "Out" in the LED dis-
play. This indicates that the unit is calibrating itself prior to testing. After
this calibration is performed, the ST-1THD automatically enters into the out-
let circuit testing programming menu. The LED display cycles between the
menu heading, and the measurement every four seconds. Press and hold
the display advance button for one second to move to the menu. To enter
the submenu, press the display advance button for three seconds. To navi-
gate from measurement to measurement within the submenu, press the dis-
play advance button. While in the submenu, pressing and holding the dis-
play advance button for three seconds brings the unit back to the menu
structure.

“20=”- Voltage Drop under 20 Amp Load
The test results for the 20 Amp load test are simulated based on an actual
15 Amp load.
Ground-to-Neutral Voltage Menu
Ground-to-neutral voltage results from current flowing in the neutral con-
ductor from other equipment on the circuit. High ground-to-neutral voltage
indicates that the circuit may be loaded near its capacity or the neutral con-
ductor may be shared or carrying harmonic distortion. A reading of less
than 2 volts usually indicates a usable outlet. An excessive ground-to-neu-
tral voltage may result in inconsistent or intermittent equipment performance
This test can also be used to verify a dedicated circuit. A measurement
greater than 0.1 volts indicates that the receptacle under test is not on a
dedicated circuit.
•Menu Heading - “Gn-”
•Measurement at Menu Heading - True RMS Voltage, Ground-to-Neutral
•Submenu - yes
“Hi=”- Highest Ground-to-Neutral Voltage
“Lo=”- Lowest Ground-to-Neutral Voltage

The submenu values are the highest, lowest, average and peak values taken
since the SureTest was plugged in.
After the display is advanced to “Ld”in the submenu, it will cycle between
the load and power factor measurements. Pressing the display button will
not advance the unit through the programming sequence. After these mea-
surements are taken, the unit must be removed from the receptacle and re-
inserted.
Resistance Menu
•Menu Heading - “rES-”

•Submenu - yes
“rn=”- Resistance of Neutral Conductor
“rH=”- Resistance of Hot Conductor
“rG=”- Ground Impedance
The St-1THD checks ground impedance by pulsing 15 amperes from hot-to-
ground to ensure that the resistance is less than 1 Ohm.
GFCI Menu
The ST-1D applies 6mA to ground through a fixed resistor to trip the GFCI.
A functional GFCI will disconnect the power. The reset may be at the outlet
or at the panel.
WARNING
When testing 3-wire outlets, do not proceed with the GFCI test if the
Wiring Indicator lights indicate a “No Ground”condition exists.
Repair the ground circuit first.

109
GFCI Menu (continued)
•Menu Heading - “GFC=”
•Measurement at Menu Heading - None
•Submenu - No
Pressing the display advance button for three seconds will activate the GFCI
test. The ST-1THD applies 6mA to ground through a fixed resistor to trip
the GFCI. A functional GFCI will disconnect the power. The reset may be at
the outlet or at the panel. The tester will display the calculated time to trip,
apply the current and count up to the calculated time.
•If the GFCI is functioning properly, the circuit will disconnect, and the
LED display on the ST-1THD will go out. When the circuit is reset, and
power is returned, the LED display will show the actual time to trip.
•If the GFCI fails to trip, the LED display will show "bAd", which indicates
that the GFCI may be installed incorrectly, or the GFCI may be defective.
WARNING
In order to test GFCI’s in a 2-wire system (no ground wire), the #61-175
ground continuity adapter must be used. Connect the ground lead on
the adapter to a ground, such as a metal water or gas pipe.
Recall Memory Menu (Event Recording)
Stored data can be viewed from the Recall Memory menu. Pressing the dis-
play advance button for three seconds enters the submenu. The submenu is
identified by a blinking “rCL”on the LED display. Once in the submenu,
pressing the display advance button gives access to the stored values from
memory. These values are accessed through the outlet circuit testing menu.
While stored values are being displayed, the LED will blink to differentiate
these values from the “live”values being captured in standard testing mode.
Navigating through the outlet circuit testing menu while in recall memory
mode is identical to navigation through the menu in standard operation.
While the ST-1THD is in operation, the unit will analyze and store data on
the various measurements. These values can be permanently stored into the
memory from the Recall Memory submenu. Pressing the display advance
button for three seconds when a blinking “rCL”is shown on the display will
store all of the data into memory, overwriting any previous data in memory.
It is important to note that pressing the blinking "rCL" to exit viewing
recorded data stores new data into permanent memory. If you wish to main-
tain the stored data, but want to return to standard operation mode, unplug
the SureTest and re-insert it into the receptacle. The SureTest will return to
operation mode.

Optional Accessories
#61-175 Ground Continuity Adapter
This adapter allows the operator to verify that a cabinet or equipment chas-
sis has been properly connected to the power system ground. Plugging
into the #61-175 adapter will isolate the SureTest from the power source
ground. The LED display of the ST-1THD will read “E-nG”. If the equip-
ment is properly grounded, then touching the alligator clip from the ground
continuity adapter to the cabinet or equipment chassis should return the cir-
cuit to a Normal condition.
WARNING
This is a static test and will not confirm the current carrying capacity
With the ST-1D, this adapter can be used to check the ground impedance of
a cabinet or equipment chasis. See section 3.4 for test instructions.
This adapter can also be used to test GFCI receptacles on 2-wire circuits.
Connect the ground lead on the adapter to a ground, such as a metal water
or gas pipe, prior to GFCI testing.
#61-176 Isolated Ground Adapter
This adapter allows the operator to verify that a receptacle is completely iso-
lated from the other grounds between the receptacle and the entry panel.
WARNING
The receptacle should be tested for proper grounding prior to testing
for ground insulation.
Test the ground impedance of the receptacle and make a note of the results.
See the section on outlet circuit testing for details. Remove the SureTest
from the receptacle and plug it into the #61-176 adapter. Clip the ground
wire to the metal outlet, center receptacle screw, or the metal outlet box.
Re-insert the ST-1THD into the receptacle and retest for ground impedance.
Make a note of the result.
If the two resistance readings are the same, then the receptacle is not isolat-
ed. If the receptacle is isolated, the reading with the #61-176 will be lower.
A reading of half when the adapter is used is common, because a parallel
ground path has been introduced by attaching the ground wire to the
grounding point of the receptacle.
#61-177 Extension Cord
The ST-1THD is supplied with an extension cord to make testing easier on
hard-to-reach outlets. Replacement extension cords can be purchased from
your authorized IDEAL distributor.
#61-179 CARRYING CASE
The ST-1THD is supplied with a lightweight carrying case to protect the
units and store the instruction sheet and accessories. Replacement cases
can be purchased from your authorized IDEAL distributor.

1817
#61-181 500AAC Clamp Adapter
This adapter can only be used with the ST-1THDC. This adapter is used for
True RMS current measurements up to 500-amperes. #61-158
Circuit/Harmonics Analyzer kit includes both the #61-157 Circuit/Harmonics
Analyzer and the #61-181 500AAC Clamp Adapter in one convenient pack-
age.
Troubleshooting
Locating Loose (High Resistance) Connectors and Splices
Loose connections, splices and bad connections can be isolated by using the
SureTest to test receptacles in sequence along the branch circuit.
For example if the voltage drop at receptacle 5 is unacceptable, checking the
other receptacles in the branch can help isolate the problem. If receptacles 1
through 4 and 6 through 8 check out OK, than further investigation should
take place at the connection to receptacle 5. The additional resistance could
be due to a loose connection/splice. If receptacles 6 through 8 are also
unacceptable, chances are that the problem is in either the hot or neutral
conductor in the wall between receptacles 4 and 5.
If all of the branch receptacles have unacceptable voltage drops, the problem
is most likely in the circuit between the panel and the first receptacle or at the
panel. If all branches are in high resistance, the problem may be in the cir-
cuit from the meter, or from the transformer to the service entrance.
Using the SureTest will help identify problem areas for further investigation
of the receptacles and/or branch circuit.
