Important Safety Information
Electric shock hazard:
• Do not apply more than the rated voltage between any two input
terminals, or between any input terminal and earth ground.
• Do not contact any uninsulated portion of the power cord.
Failure to observe these warnings can result in severe injury or death.
Electric shock and fire hazard:
• Do not expose this unit to rain or moisture.
• Do not use the unit if it is wet or damaged.
• Inspect the power cord before use. It must be clean and dry, and the
insulation must be in good condition.
• Use this unit for the manufacturer’s intended purpose only, as
described in this manual. Any other use can impair the protection
provided by the unit.
Failure to observe these warnings can result in severe injury or death.
Electric shock hazard:
Contact with live circuits can result in severe
injury or death.

Important Safety Information
• This tool is designed to test 15 A and 20 A, 120 VAC single-phase
AFCI and GFCI equipment only.
• The Polarity feature does not perform a comprehensive diagnostic
test; it performs a simple test to detect nearly all probable common
improper wiring conditions.
• Refer all indicated problems to a qualified electrician.
• This tool will not indicate the quality of ground, detect two hot wires in
a circuit, detect a combination of defects, or detect reversal of
grounded and grounding conductors.
• This tool simulates a certain type of arc and cannot represent all
arcing conditions. An AFCI that fails the AFI-100 test but passes the
button test may be operating properly.
Failure to observe these precautions can result in injury and can damage
the unit.
• Do not attempt to repair this unit. It contains no user-serviceable parts.
• Do not expose the unit to extremes in temperature or high humidity.
Refer to “Specifications.”
Failure to observe these precautions can result in injury and can damage
the unit.
Do not operate with the case open.
Failure to observe this warning can result in severe injury or death.

Operation
1. Test the unit on a known functioning circuit. If it does not function as
expected, return the unit to Greenlee for repair.
2. Perform the desired tests using the procedures below.
Polarity Test
•The Polarity feature does not perform a comprehensive diagnostic
test; it performs a simple test to detect nearly all probable common
improper wiring conditions.
•Refer all indicated problems to a qualified electrician.
•This tool will not indicate the quality of ground, detect two hot wires in
a circuit, detect a combination of defects, or detect reversal of
grounded and grounding conductors.
Failure to observe these precautions can result in injury and can damage
the unit.
1. Unplug all appliances or equipment on the circuit being tested to help
avoid erroneous readings.
2. Plug the AFI-100 into any standard 120 V three-wire receptacle.
Compare the LEDs illuminated on the AFI-100 to the “Polarity Indicator”
illustration on the previous page.
Note: If the LEDs indicate anything other than “CORRECT”, have the
wiring corrected by a qualified electrician.
3. Repeat step 2 for every receptacle on the circuit.

AFCI/GFCI Test
Operation (cont’d)
•This tool is designed to test 15 A and 20 A, 120 VAC single-phase
AFCI and GFCI equipment only.
•Refer all indicated problems to a qualified electrician.
•This tool simulates a certain type of arc and cannot represent all
arcing conditions. An AFCI that fails the AFI-100 test but passes the
button test may be operating properly.
Failure to observe these precautions can result in injury and can damage
the unit.
1. Consult the AFCI or GFCI device manufacturer’s installation instructions
to determine that the device is installed in accordance with the
manufacturer’s specifications.
2. Check for correct wiring of the receptacle and all remotely connected
receptacles on the branch circuit.
3. Unplug all appliances or equipment on the circuit being tested to help
avoid erroneous readings.
4. Operate the test button on the AFCI or GFCI device installed in the
circuit. The device must trip. If it does not, do not use the circuit.
Consult an electrician. If the device does trip, reset it.
5. Plug the AFI-100 into the receptacle to be tested. Observe the polarity
LEDs to verify that the outlet is correctly wired. Refer to the complete
instructions in the “Polarity Test”section of this manual.
6. Press and hold the AFCI or GFCI test button for at least 6 seconds. All
the LEDs on the AFI-100 must turn off, indicating that the AFCI or GFCI
device has tripped.

AFCI/GFCI Test (cont’d)
Operation (cont’d)
7. If the yellow “FAILED”LED lights, the test has run to completion without
tripping the device. This suggests:
•A wiring problem with a fully operable AFCI or GFCI device, or
•Proper wiring with a faulty AFCI or GFCI device. Consult an electrician
to check the condition of the wiring and device.
•No ground wire present in the outlet (GFCI test only).
8. Repeat steps 5 through 7 for every receptacle on the circuit.
