TRAINING AND EQUIPMENT MANUAL MISCELLANEOUS EQUIPMENT 308.006 RECEPTACLE CIRCUIT TESTER EFFECTIVE: OCTOBER 2007 Current Revision Date: 12/26/18 Author’s Name/Rank: Dennis Barnhart, Engineer Next Revision Date: Review Level: 12/26/23 1 PURPOSE This policy is provided for familiarization with the use of Receptacle Circuit Testers. APPLICATION Receptacle Circuit Testers are used by Fire Companies to verify the correct wiring of any standard “U” ground (three-pronged) electrical receptacle prior to plugging-in powered Fresno Fire Department (FFD or Department) equipment. OPERATIONAL POLICY This section intentionally left blank. OPERATIONAL GUIDELINE This section intentionally left blank. PROCESS The Department uses a variety of Receptacle Circuit Testers, which all function in the same manner: 1. Plug Tester into desired three-pronged receptacle (two-prong outlets lack a proper ground and may not be used). 2. Observe the red, white, and yellow lenses on the Tester. 3. Reference the guide (Figure 1 and Figure 2) on the Tester against the resulting pattern of lights to determine the receptacle’s usability. Do not use a faulted receptacle.
