Instrument Set-Up

1. Ensure that the text prior to this point, especially with regard to safety, is fully understood before proceeding.

2. Sight the instrument in accordance with the General Guidelines to promote ease of use and operator safety.

Clearly defined test area - limited access – insulated work surfaces – insulated matting –

sufficient space for the product being tested – clean and tidy work area etc.

3. Connect all power, test probe leads and accessories into their respective rear panel connectors – if testing

predominantly Earthed (Class I) items, it may be advisable to only connect the Class II Flash Probe when it is
required.

4. Site and secure the Status Beacon where it can be clearly observed from outside the test area. Position the

Test Output socket box and probe holders where they can be easily accessed by the operator.

5. Plug the power cord of the instrument into an Earthed 230V 50Hz socket outlet, preferably protected by a

Residual Current Circuit Breaker (RCB) rated at no more than 30mA, and switch on the supply.

6. Operate the instrument’s SUPPLY switch, the integral red lamp should light and the green lamp on the Status

Beacon should also come on. At first switch on, operate the Flash Fault / Reset button once, to initialize tests.
