I plugged my gfi tester into some arc fault devices and they all popped. They were just arc fault not dual arc/gfi. The plug in tester never trips an arc fault breaker but will trip a dual purpose breaker.
The device was Legrand pass and seymour. I called tech support and they didn't really have an answer other than the tester induces voltage into the device and the accurate test is to push the test button.
I am curious as to any thoughts on this or if anyone tested any other brand arc device and had the same thing happen.
(also the tech support person was ignorant of any code wording about metal raceways to the first device, listed breakers, etc)
