Introduction
• In 1916, J. Walter Becker started the Ideal
Commutator Dresser Company of Chicago
from his mother's kitchen. He
manufactured commutator dresser stones
with the belief that every product should
be worth more than the price paid for it.
• Service, he said, was part of the product

How To Sell the Customer
Ask if he/she:
Measures voltage and resistance routinely.
Concerned about safety in their test tools.
• Category Rating on the meter
• Needs a fast-responding meter.
• Works harmonic environments. (Needs True
RMS)

IEC Category Ratings
• IEC 61010 defines as
four Categories:
– CAT IV “Origin of
installation”,
– CAT III Distribution
Level,
– CAT II Local level,
– CAT I Signal Level,
•If a lighting strike was to hit your electrical service a certain amount of energy or
impulse would travel and be dissipated by the electrical service.
The closer to the source of the impulse the Higher available fault current.

Average vs. True RMS
• True RMS responding
– The Meter calculates
the true effective
(heating) value of the
waveform.
– Average sensing
meters will not
correctly display the
effective (heating)
value on a “nonsinusoidal waveform.

component of an AFCI Breaker
• ETCON AF120 ARC-FAULT
TRIPPER AND RECEPTACLE
TESTER
• Performs two tests with one installation!
• Tests conventional or AFCI protected
120 VAC outlets for correct wiring.
• Tests AFCI protected outlets to insure
against trip at 30 mA.

(This is the GFI part of an AFCI
breaker, It is not testing the AFCI
circuitry of the AFIC breaker.)

SureTest Arc Tester
How To Sell the Customer
• Ask if he/she installs/inspects AFCI branch circuits.
• True simulation of an Arc Fault
– Other Testers may only be testing the 30mA GFI portion of the
breaker, not the AFCI.
• Shows wire map like Reverse Polarity
• Test GFCI function per UL specifications.
• The Neutral Test places a small load between High and Neutral to
test for Shared or improper neutral wiring on the AFCI Breaker..
• Optional and convenient carrying case (C-50).
• Optional alligator clip adapter (61-184) to test lighting circuits.

and Frequency,
• Show % Voltage Drop at 12, 15, and 20 amps.
• Measures impedance of the circuit as will as for High, Neutral
and Ground conductors.
• GFCI test with both 7 mA and 30 mA for equipment GFIs
• AFCI Test. Per UL specification
• IDEAL is a leader in branch circuit testing and this is the only
tool to confidently verify the performance and safety of a

Industrial Clamp Meters w/ TightSight
Display
tm
How To Sell the Customer
• Ask if he/she has ever had difficulty clamping onto a single
conductor in a congested panel.
• Ask if he/she has also had difficulty reading the display after
being clamped onto a wire.
• The Bottom Display was developed for the end use that finds
himself in “tight” places where a standard display is hard to see.
• Emphasize the inability in certain application where you can’t see
the display.
• This is not just a clamp, but a full functional Multimeter
– Full ranging of Voltage Resistance and in some models Frequency
and Capacitance.
