Configure the Tester to operate in L-n mode or L-n n-L
mode, see Figure 1.
• In L-n mode, the L and N phase conductors must
NEVER be reversed. This is a requirement in the UK
and other regions. The b icon appears on the
display to indicate that the system L and N conductors
are swapped and the test is inhibited. Investigate and
rectify the cause of this system fault before you
continue. L-n mode also changes the RCD x1/2 trip
time duration to 2000 ms. for UK requirement.
• In L-n n-L mode, the unit allows the L and N phase
conductors to be swapped and tests will continue.
Note
In locations where polarized plugs and outlets are
used, a swapped lead icon (b) may indicate
that the outlet was wired incorrectly. Correct this
problem before you continue with any tests.
The default setting in the UK is L-n. Elsewhere, the default
setting is L-n n-L.
