SurgeGuard - Any Way To Test?

[mitch5252]

Does anyone know if there's a way to test a Surge Guard (portable, 30A) to see if it's still functioning?

Does it have a screen with read out? I found out mine had bit the dust when it kept reading out that all the poles were reading too high but when checked them with the simple plug in the tested was always reading in the safe zone

no digital readout on mine.

Did you take a hit, or do you know?

[BirdbyBird]

Don't know what happened to it.

If there is no read out, it's probably dead.

The Progressive Industry comes with a lifetime guaranty and replaceable components/circuit cards. The SurgeGuard has a 1 year warranty and is disposable.

I meant that mine didn't come with a digital read out...just dummy lights. I think Tina has a newer version that has that small screen.

Mine just has lights also.... and if the lights are blinking.. and/or showing up lighted
I just assume that the surge guard is doing its job.... I'm pretty new to a surge guard
don't know much ... lolk

My SurgeGuard is like yours, Mitch. Would be very interested in knowing what you find out.
Mine took a hit last summer bad enough to discolor one of the prongs but it seems to still be working - goes thru check cycle before turning power on and it has shut power off once after it got hit then turned it back on when it was satisfied. .
