About this manual

The EXTECH CT20 is a Continuity Tester Pro designed for one-person operation on wire and cable testing. It features a bright flashing LED and loud pulsating beeper to indicate local continuity.

For remote identification, the device uses a two-lead bi-color (red/green) LED probe. This allows a single user to identify up to three wires or cables at a time for correct labeling without multiple trips. The system drives a 20mA DC current pulse through the wires to verify polarity and eliminate false high impedance readings.
