• When conducting tests do not touch the
appliance as some tests involve high voltages
and high currents.
• The tests should only be performed by
competent persons who are familiar with the
requirements of the type of tests suitable for
portable appliances.
• It is potentially hazardous for both user and

• During the load/leakage test and the touch
current test, the appliance will be energized at
mains voltage. For this purpose, switch on the
appliance. Appliances driven by motors or

and secure prior to testing.
Test Modes: Single or Continuous
You can run tests in a single test mode or in a continuous
