OPERATIONAL GUIDELINE

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.
