7.Test Application

Visual Inspection
Before applying any electrical tests a thorough visual inspection of the
appliance must be carried out. This may well form the greater part – 75% or
more – of any test routine.

Casing
Check for signs of undue wear, cracks or dents missing components such as
guards, covers or hand grips etc.

Ensure that all screws and catches are present and secure.

Check for evidence of excessive dirt build-up, especially in and around any
ventilation slots.

Also ensure that all movable guards operate smoothly.

Supply Lead
Check for any signs of damage or fraying along the entire length. This should
also include any extension lead that may be regularly used with the appliance.

Ensure that any cable entry or connector is sound and secure.

Plugs and Fuses
Thoroughly check plug tops for damage and ensure that all wires are correctly
connected.

Ensure that cable grips and strain relief bushes are properly secure.

Check that the correctly rated fuses are fitted – even a 5A fuse fitted in place
of a recommended 3A fuse may give rise to a potentially dangerous fault
condition.

Output box must be plugged into the equipment before use.
The output box is required to enable equipment test
functionality.

Before use confirm that the internal part of the interlock
system functions correctly; Check ‘Instrument Integrity’
section for details.
