spare, but must be 1

Proceed to STEP 7 if visual check included or STEP 8 if visual check excluded.

STEP 5

Display: AUTOMATIC TEST Y/N or MANUAL TEST Y/N Instrument will default to the
last used option.
At this stage the operator is being asked to select either the automatic sequencing of
tests or the manual sequence.

An automatic sequence will allow the tester to apply 5 second test sequences of each
test and will only ask for a prompting at the flash test stage and at the load test in Class
1 and also at each stage for repeat test option in Class ll.

Manual mode allows the operator to perform repeat tests. If repeat tests are not
required answering ‘N’ will cause initialisation of the next test sequence.

Manual mode allows the operator to “Backstep” using the B key to the previous test.
This will overwrite the previous result(s). Backstep can be repeated until the first test in
the sequence is reached.

It should be noted that for safety reasons tests are only performed in the sequence
detailed under the section headed Applications.

STEP 6

The instrument will display:

APPLIANCE TEST ? Y/N or IEC LEAD TEST ? Y/N.

Pressing the N key will cyclically present each option, pressing the Y key will accept the
option. The operator is asked to choose between testing an appliance or an IEC lead.
The instrument will default to the last used option.

STEP 7

The instrument will display: 230V TEST Y/N or 110V TEST Y/N. The instrument will
default to the last option used.

At this stage the operator is asked to choose which of the output sockets is required. An
indicator next to each socket will show which one is in use at any time. Once the
operator has selected the appropriate output, it needs to be confirmed by pressing the
YES key.

STEP 8

The instrument will display:

CLASS I TEST Y/N or CLASS II TEST Y/N
The instrument will default to last used option.
(The tester is now asking the operator to advise it which class of insulation applies to
the appliance to be tested)
