Pin Test

The pin test (filament test) can be used on dual pin fluorescent lamps that

have a filament under the metal cap. The filament is used to excite the gas

inside the tube and turn it on. The lamp will not function correctly if the

filament is broken.



Turn the power off to the light fixture before removing the lamp from

the fixture.

1. PIN test is always on. Plug the lamp pins into the pin test slots on the

back of the tester.

• If the tester does not beep and LED indicator is not on, the filament

is broken. Replace the lamp.

• If the tester beeps and LED indicator is on, the filament is functional.

The pins are good.

2. Repeat step 1 with the other end of the lamp.
