�WARNING and PRECAUTIONS
•Before and after hazardous voltage
measurements, test the voltage function on a
known source such as line voltage to determine
proper meter functioning.
•Inspect the INSP-3 wiring inspection tester before
every use. Do not use any damaged part.
•Never ground yourself when taking
measurements. Do not touch exposed circuit
elements or test probe tips.
•Do not operate the instrument in an explosive
atmosphere.
•To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not
expose this product to rain or moisture.
•The meter is intended only for indoor use. To
avoid electrical shock hazard, observe the proper
safety precautions when working with voltages
above 60 VDC, 42.4 Vpk, or 30 VAC rms. These
voltage levels pose a potential shock hazard to
the user.
•Before and after hazardous voltage
measurements, test the voltage function on a
known source such as line voltage to determine
proper meter functioning.
•Keep your hands/fingers behind the hand/finger
barriers (of the meter and the power cord) that
indicate the limits of safe access of the hand-held
part during measurement.

INTRODUCTION
The INSP-3, wiring inspector is a rugged tester
designed to verify building wiring compliance to
electrical code, especially voltage drop under load.
Identify issues with splices, connections and conductor
quality, crucial to safety and performance of the
electrical system.
