meter – displays the ohmic value of the measured Earth path. A satisfactory reading will be

below 0.5 ohms (in the amber or uncoloured zones). Readings in the red zone, or beyond, may indicate a
poor or broken earth connection.

3. Set Zero control – used to set mechanical zero of the meter during factory build & calibration procedures. Not

normally required for user adjustment.

4. Set Inf. control – used for setting the full scale (INF) reading of the meter to compensate for mains

fluctuations, or differences, from location to location. Refer to Set-Up procedures for adjustment details.

5. Flash LN-E push button – used to apply 1500Va.c. Flash Test between Line + Neutral to Earthed parts for

Class I products or, in conjunction with the Flash Probe, for applying 4000Va.c. between L + N to outer
surfaces of Class II products.

6. Flash L-N push button – used to apply 1500Va.c. Flash Test between Line and Neutral circuits of both Class

I and Class II products.

Note
It is not advisable to apply a L-N Flash test to any product that requires a Light-Up test, particularly those that may
incorporate electronic control circuits or in-line transformers, the test may damage sensitive electronic
components. The Test Inhibit circuit should detect a L-N short and prevent the Light-Up test being applied.
