The display shows the test progress.
Continuous test only:
3. Push to stop the test.
4. Push to store the test result, if required.
Note
Accidental measurement of a defective unit may trip a RCCB (residual
Current circuit breaker).
Fuse/L-N Loop Pre-test
The pre-test verifies the fuse and lead continuity with a low voltage signal across the
appliances phase and neutral pins.
Very low power appliances, or appliances with electronically controlled on/off switches or
with an inductance may fail this test. In this case the symbol will appear.
To enable you to test these appliances you can skip the Fuse/L-N Loop Pre-test. To perform
the test on appliances which fail the Fuse/L-N Loop Pre-test:
1. Release .
2. Push again before the indication is removed from the display (push as
described in step 2 of the test procedure).
IEC Lead Test
The IEC lead test is for:
• Earth bond resistance
• Insulation resistance Live-Neutral against earth.
• Live-Neutral lead/fuse continuity and polarity (UK and AU).
If there is a swapped polarity condition and a continuity failure in the same test, a failed
polarity message displays.
You can use the EXTL100 adapter (optional accessory) to test extension leads.
