Can this also be used to test a non-GFCI circuit?

Yes. In a regular outlet it will indicate if the hot and neutral are reversed , if the hot and ground are reversed, if you have an open hot, if there is an open neutral, if there is an open ground and if the outlet wiring is correct.

Absolutely -- make sure to use the map on the tester plug to decipher the LEDs pattern.

you will need the proper adapter to fit your application. The tester will then work just fine

Hi Dave, If the circuit is already protected by a GFCI then yes you can use a Power2U but if the GFCI is on the outlet its self(it has the two buttons) then no.

sorry I'm not that savy with what your saying. Should I put a volt meter on the 2 lines and physically trip the sensor itself and look for a voltage spike or a contunity test doing the same thing?

No. I tis designed to test off the shelf batteries. I personally have used it to test rechargables. It works on some but not on others. Have no idea why.

You might have... I'm certainly not a professional electrician, but mine works fine on both GFCI and regular outlets. If it's not something with your wiring, it's probably the tester!

It test the polarity etc. of a regular receptacle. It does not trip the breaker in the panel that feeds the receptacle. Hope this answers your question.

Yes we can. The tester splits into two parts. The parts are connected , one to each end with the main part with display at the end where you want to see the result.

I have only had the chance to use this tester 2 times now. It seems to work quite well if you can find what the codes mean. As far as I know this should work on many different types of main boards. One of the neat features of this is that also serves as a voltage meter. I could see this product going much further if the developer would continue their work.This website can be very helpful. Pick the bios type from the side. http://www.bioscentral.com/

If you are asking if it can test for continuity, the answer is yes. It requires a 9volt battery. If you are asking if it can test the voltage of an energized circuit, yes it can.

Yes, this would be an excellent use for this tool. Be sure to check a known power source such as a receptacle to ensure the tester is working properly.

Should be able to test 6 volt battery one at a time, not all connected together.

No. Tests for presence of electricity and proper wiring of outlet. Also tests for proper operation of GFCI.

Yes, but it's not a GFCI which means if the circuit is overloaded the outlet won't trip like a GFCI one would.. but your breaker in your electrical panel should still trip.

Yes - but you will need to take in to account the whole environment. i.e. don't place where it may become submerged; the instructions/directions specify that it be used on a ground-fault interrupt (GFI) protected circuit.

i haven't used it for that. but i am thinking you should be able to see that with the impedance reading.

You would need a multimeter to test it. You can also try it with a different board if you have one. It can also be the power brick, you need a good quality brick. I received doa pico150 and returned it for a 160 that works.
