Seaward G2000 - Manual (Page 27)

Operating Procedures
7. Earth test set up – this may require the use of a small, flat bladed, screwdriver. With nothing connected to
the Test Output sockets, apply the tip of the Earth Probe, using a firm steady pressure, to an insulated
surface. This will activate the Earth test and the meter pointer should go hard over to the right of the meter
scale and sit on the INF. mark. If it does, no adjustment is necessary.
8. If the pointer is not on the INF. mark, keep the pressure on the probe and then use the small screwdriver to
adjust the SET INF. control on the front panel (see p.11 item 4), until the pointer does line up with the INF.
mark. Release the probe.
NOTE – DO NOT adjust the SET ZERO control (p.11 item 3), this is factory set and should not be tampered with.
9. The instrument is now ready for product testing, follow the Test Procedure on the following pages relevant to
the type of product -
TEST PROCEDURE A – (p.27) basic Earthed (Class I) Products with standard wiring
TEST PROCEDURE B – (p.31) basic Double Insulated (Class II) Products with standard wiring
TEST PROCEDURE C – (p.35) Earthed (Class I) Products requiring mains voltage Light-Up test
TEST PROCEDURE D – (p.39) Double Insulated (Class II) Products requiring mains voltage Light-Up test
Typically, the Light-Up test is only required for those products that incorporate ballasts, filter networks, in-line
transformers and the like, and where the low voltage continuity/polarity test would not operate.
