NTRODUCT ON
The PT-5000B Proof Tester Voltmeter Tester will produce 5kVDC at the test
leads to confirm proper operation of voltmeters and phasers. This tester
should be used only with voltmeters/phasers that measure DC voltage. t will
not confirm operation of voltmeters/phasers that measure AC voltage only.
The PT-5000B operates from one 9V lithium or alkaline battery and produces
approximately 5kVDC at the connecting leads.
To use:
1) Connect both tester leads to the voltmeter/phaser probes.
2) Press and hold both TEST buttons.
3) Confirm a good battery by checking the red light on the Tester. f the
red light does not come on, replace the battery with a 9V lithium or
alkaline only.
