When connecting to 120 VAC outlet:
1. Using the provided polarized two-prong 120 VAC Plug Cable (ACT Part No. HW080), connect
the receptacle end to the white connector on the back of the enclosure. Make sure that it locks
in place and it cannot be removed without pressing the release tab.
2. Plug the polarized two-prong plug into any standard 120 VAC outlet.
3. The AT004 will automatically power up and start analyzing the power line.
When it is required to connect to 120 VAC within a Breaker Panel:
1. Use the Two-Prong 120 VAC Plug Cable (ACT Part No. HW080), with a purchased or
manufactured clip lead cable with a two-prong receptacle (not supplied). Plug this cable into the
adapter cable.
2. With the breaker turned off, connect the White (neutral) clip to the neutral within the breaker
panel.
3. Connect the Black (hot) clip directly on the screw of the breaker of the phase that you want to
test, or connect a wire to a breaker, and clip the line clip to this wire,
4. Turn on the breaker and observe that the AT004 powers up and begins to analyze the power line.
When connecting to 120 VAC (50 Hz) or 277 VAC:
1. Use the provided 208 to 277 VAC Alligator Clip Cable (ACT Part No. HW076), connect the
receptacle end to the white connector on the back of the enclosure. Make sure that it locks in
place and it cannot be removed without pressing the release tab.
2. With the breaker turned off, connect the White (neutral) clip to the neutral within the breaker
panel.
3. Connect the Black (hot) clip directly on the screw of the breaker of the phase that you want to
test, or connect a wire to that breaker and clip the line clip to this wire.
4. Turn on the breaker and observe that the AT004 powers up and begins to analyze the power line.
When connecting to 208 VAC or 240 VAC (60 Hz) line-to-line voltages:
1. Use the provided 208 to 277 VAC Alligator Clip Cable (ACT Part No. HW076), connect the
receptacle end to the white connector on the back of the enclosure. Make sure that it locks in
place and it cannot be removed without pressing the release tab.
2. With both of the breakers of the line-to-line voltage turned off, connect the White (neutral) clip
directly on the screw of one of the breakers of the line-to-line voltage that you are testing, or
connect a wire to that breaker and clip the line clip to this wire.
3. With both breakers still turned off, connect the Black (hot) clip directly on the screw of one of the
breakers of the line-to-line voltage that you are testing, or connect a wire to that breaker and clip
the line clip to this wire.
4. Turn on the two breakers and observe that the AT004 powers up and begins to analyze the line-
to-line voltage.
USER LCD ADJUSTMENTS:
If the LCD display seems to dark or too light, the contrast can be adjusted with a potentiometer tuner
or a very small screwdriver on the left side of the enclosure near the bottom of the display bezel.
