How do I test a double duplex outlet (Four receptacles within one box)?
After testing one duplex go to the area room display and increment the outlet number up one and then back down to the original number. (It doesn’t matter if you increment the number or decrement the number just so long as you change the number and “fool” the analyzer into thinking you have moved to the next outlet. The quad outlet will be identified in the report as having four lines of data associated with the outlet (Ex. RE-1, 2-2-2-2, 3-3…). • What do I do if outlets are failing Ground to Ground Resistance? It is important to keep the pins of the reference/power cord and the test probe clean. Any corrosion build up on the pins could cause high resistance readings. This is also true for the receptacle itself. Many times an outlet will fail the first test and then pass if tested again due to the fact that the outlet was essentially cleaned while the first test was being performed. It may be helpful to use a dummy plug to clean the outlets before the test is actually performed. If th
