This is the Tools function. This function allows you to configure the label Title, select
a Pass or Fail Logo, change print density and select which pre-configured label
printer to use.

This is the Change Format function. This will change the format of the label

11.2 Manual Test Interface


The Apollo 600 allows direct access to all of the electrical tests through Manual Mode.

Within each test there are a number of function key options;

This is the Tools function. This function allows you to configure the test current test
type, this includes;

- test duration

- test pass/fail limit
- test type/connection

Always ensure that you have selected the correct test connection method in
the test for the probe connections made.

Please refer to the Test Functions section for specific information about each test type.

11.3 Test Functions

Earth Continuity

Always ensure that the circuit under test is electrically isolated.

Note that measurements can be adversely affected by parallel resistances of
additional circuits or by transient currents.

Connecting a test probe to a hazardous voltage when a point to point
measurement is active will result in that voltage being present on the other test
probe.

This test is applicable to Class I equipment. This test will measure one of the following:

resistance between the protective earth terminal in the EUT mains plug and the point
at which a single test probe is applied – CLI EUT Continuity

resistance between two test probes – Point to Point Continuity

resistance between the protective earth terminal in an IEC lead mains plug and the
protective earth terminal in the IEC connector – IEC Continuity

to ensure that the connection is satisfactory and of sufficiently low resistance. The
measurement will be displayed in Ohms.

There are three possible connection methods for the Earth Continuity test.
