3-Wire Receptacle Tester for 110-125 VAC Outlets
This tester plugs into standard North American outlets to reveal common wiring faults. It is intended for electricians, inspectors and homeowners who need to verify outlet safety before connecting equipment. The compact gray housing fits in a tool pouch for quick checks on site.
Six LED Patterns Cover Six Fault Conditions
Six visual indicators map to a printed chart that identifies correct wiring, open ground, open neutral, open hot, hot/ground reverse and hot/neutral reverse. The device draws power directly from the outlet under test, so no batteries are required. It stops at the outlet face and cannot trace faults behind walls or inside concealed junction boxes.
Replaces Guesswork and Non-Listed Probes
The ETL listing confirms the unit meets recognised safety standards for 110-125 VAC use. It upgrades from improvised lamp tests or unlisted checkers that may miss reversed polarity. The jump is worthwhile when a documented, repeatable pass/fail result is required for compliance records or client reports.

Questions about this item
Will this 110-125 VAC tester work with the older two-prong outlets I still have in my house?
This tester requires a standard 3-wire 110-125 VAC outlet to operate and display its 6 LED patterns. It cannot be plugged into a two-prong outlet without a ground connection.
How do I confirm the 6 LED indicators are showing the correct wiring status after I plug it in?
Plug the tester into the 110-125 VAC outlet and compare the illuminated LED pattern against the included indicator light chart. The chart lists the 6 probable wiring conditions for quick reference.
Does the 50542 tester come with a battery or power cord, or do I need to buy one separately?
The unit is corded electric and draws power directly from the 110-125 VAC outlet when plugged in. No battery or separate power cord is required or included in the box.
