Seaward 200 PrimeTest - Manual (Page 14)

5.0 General Information
5.1 The polarity indicator 1 is automatic. Only one polarity is indicated with
respect to the negative black socket 12
5.2 The bargraph display indicates resistance measurement on a logarithmic
scale and voltage measurements on a linear scale.
5.3 Range overflow of the digital display 1 is automatic and is indicated by
the greater than symbol >.
5.4 The button 6 allows continuous measurements of M Ω and without
the need to repeatedly press the button. To activate the continuous
test mode the operator must press and hold the
button down then
simultaneously press the lock button down. Both buttons can then be
released in any order. The symbol will be illuminated on the LCD
display. The mode when M
Ω measuring function is selected outputs a
continuous test voltage between the red and black test leads.
The mode when measuring function is selected outputs a
continuous test current between the red and black probes.
The operator can deactivate the mode by pressing either
the or buttons.
5.5 The PrimeTest 200 will automatically switch off after a period of 5 minutes
with no push button or switch action. Where the mode is enabled the
automatic shutdown period is 3 minutes. When a subsequent push
button or switch action takes place the instrument automatically switches
itself on again.
5.6 When the PrimeTest 200 is switched on from power off position to
another switch position, an on load battery test occurs. The result of this
test determines the available battery capacity. A healthy battery results in
no battery symbol being illuminated on the LCD display. A
deteriorating battery results in the symbol being illuminated in the
steady state. An unhealthy battery results in a flashing symbol.
When the flashing symbol is displayed all test and measurement
functions are inhibited to avoid endangering persons by recording
false measurements.
5.7 During the differential leakage and touch leakage test functions it is
possible that a RCD could be tripped due to the inadvertent testing of a
defective EUT.
5.8 Dimensions of the PrimeTest 200 are 265 x 108 x 55mm (L x W x H)
