Seaward G2000 - Manual (Page 39)

Test Procedure C Earthed (Class I) Products plus Light-Up test
41. If the green PASS lamp fails to come on, or remain on, whilst the test is applied, the Earth resistance exceeds
the permitted 0.5 Ohms – the meter pointer will be in or above the red zone.
This may be caused by - loose, broken or even missing Earth wires - loose or corroded joints - applying the
probe to lacquered surfaces, or making poor contact with the probe. Correct any faults before continuing.
Flash Test – LN-E
Note - It is not advisable to apply a L-N Flash test to any product that requires a Light-Up test, particularly where
damage may be caused to sensitive electronic control circuits or in-line transformers. The Test Inhibit circuit
should detect a L-N short and prevent the Light-Up test being applied.
42. Check that the TEST INHIBIT lamp is off – if it’s on, check that no Lamp Simulators have been left plugged
into any of the lampholders.
DO NOT TOUCH, HOLD OR COME INTO CONTACT WITH THE PRODUCT WHEN APPLYING FLASH TESTS
43. Hold the remote Safety switch in one hand and depress (and hold in) the buttons on the end, then, with the
other hand, depress the panel mounted LN-E test button, for 2 seconds. The red FLASH FAIL lamp and
internal audible alarm should remain off. Release both buttons.
44. If the FAIL lamp and alarm come on, a flashover has occurred or the leakage current exceeds the
permissible level. Release the Safety and test buttons, then momentarily depress the Flash Fault /
Reset button to reset the fault indications.
Investigate and correct any indicated faults and then fully re-test the product before proceeding.
