Does this unit have CONTINUITY testing to determine which are the traveler wires in a 3-way switch outlet? It has a HORN icon which looks like it would beep if continuity is foun (e.g. the travelers going from one to the next switch box) but I don't...

Yes it does have the continuity feature. It is the horn icon, when it sounds you have solid continuity.

Yes, the switch uses all three wires in its box. As I recall, the neutral and the traveller are tied together in the remote box.

The outlet supports two hot wires but only one white/neutral one. I had two white wires so I had to look up a YouTube video on creating a small pigtail that safely combines the two (apparently just stacking two curved wires to one post is unsafe). The outlet tests and works fine now.

On as in "hot"? I think this device works like a continuity tester too. Meaning that it sends signal on the other end, thus, detecting the signal as it passes through wires. Hope this make sense.

I have not. How are you verifying the modes? Are you using external lights/LED as indicators or are you just listening for the relay clicks? If you are in a somewhat noisy environment i would suggest external LEDs. If you are in a quiet area you have to listen very closely for both clicks on the relay making sure you don't continuously hold down the button on the transmitter. The only other thing I can think of is to make sure you have the correct chip and that it is not in backwards. If you have an IC tester you can verify that the chip is good. Let me know if this helps.

Hi there fellow "alarmist"! My siren has three leads: White, Red, and Yellow. White is negative. If yours has a Black wire instead, it's negative. Red to Positive makes the Siren YELP. If you connect Yellow to Positive, the sound is Steady! That's all there is to it... It operates on 12 VDC.Have fun, Walley Bendz

Well, update, my sockets are 'grounded'; that is, they have 3 holes, 1 round. But the red light indicator on my Belkin is lit & says not grounded.So, I don't know. I'm using it, & will ask my building manager if it's really grounded or not.

It is merely a fancy continuity checker. The cable is plugged into each part of the device. Then you watch LEDs light. If they light in the correct sequence the cable is good -- if not then take a guess, cut off a connector, install a new connector and try again until success. If you want to test routers, hubs and switches you will need a more sophisticated and costly tester.

I didn't use the unit in that way so I couldn't say... what I can tell you is I like the one I got.works great and is a good built 4-way unit... works for me... Hope maybe this helps...

I just came back from Africa and found some rooms required a larger 3-way plug which I had and it worked fine on both. The one like you have worked fine on other hotel plugs but not all. We needed the larger plug several times and had to unplug the hotel item to use when we needed more than one of the larger plugs. You never know what will work.

There's no spec on the switch over speed. From my experience, I would describe that there is a blink between the switch.

Its really only used to identify where the wire is broken. Connecting the tone generator (red Clip) on the wire in question and then setting the sensitivity on the hand piece and then moving the hand piece along the harness until it stops beeping. Using a multimeter to check from pin to pin on both ends of the harness will give you a continuity check and find if you have a broken wire. Using the Triplett 3399 will show you where it is broken so that you can make a repair. Best of luck

Yes for the new panel. No for lights for blown fuses. Yet there is a single light that indicates a lot of different things. Haven't blown any fuses yet so I'm not sure but have tripped a few breakers and that light will be red. Normal operation its blinking green! Or even a solid green. I'm very pleased with this unit. I did get an electrician friend of mine to help me with the installation, as I'm a sheetmetal guy and Sparky stuff I tend to leave to those who know electric! But this installation was easy and everything was a breeze and fit as discribed. Hope this helps with your decision and answers your question

This will only allow you to check the wiring and it will also allow you to introduce a ground fault to test the GFCI. It will not tell you if the GFCI outlet is tripping unnecessarily. If you have a load on the outlet there may be a ground fault that is causing the trip. Some of these outlets are sensitive to inductive load imbalances on motor startups.

Yes, as far as I can tell it is. I own it and it works awesome! I recommend it to anyone. Unless you're working with an odd panel that is really old, it tells you exactly which breaker it is every time. I had an older panel once (didn't even know what brand it was - nothing modern) that it beeped kind of in between 2 breakers, but it still narrowed it down to those two. But on everything modern that I've used it on, it's right on every time. Scan it down all the breakers once, then rescan, and the second time it will only beep on the one that is it.

There is a touch sensitive capacitance button on the upper top right hand of the detector that says CITY. Just lightly touch it for city mode and a red led will come on the panel with one beep. For highway mode press it again and the red led will disappear and you will her two beeps when you do. Hopes this helps you out. :)

Yes it does, but I find the explanation on the box and in the User's Manual to contradict each other. On the box, it says the On/Off switch doubles as a resettable circuit breaker. It says just move switch back to "ON" position to reset. However, in the Manual it says : As a circuit breaker, when it trips due to an overload condition, the ON/OFF Switch goes to the OFF position. Disconnect all connected equipment, and set the ON/OFF position to ON. Reconnect all devices to be protected one at a time. DO NOT reconnect the device that caused the switch to trip. I find that confusing. How are you supposed to know if one of the plugged devices caused it to turn off and if it does how do you determine which one it is? Am I just stupid? In another section it says that this device features an internal protection that will disconnect the surge protective component at the end of its useful life but will maintain power to the load - now unprotected. If this situation is undesirable for the application, follow the manufacturer's instructions for replacing the device. It does have a reset switch, but I am not sure it works after it is hit by a power surge like a lightning strike. Sorry about my ridiculously long answer, but I am somewhat confused by conflicting statements in literature. Good luck!
