IEC Lead Test
The IEC lead test tests the IEC lead for:
• Earth bond resistance and insulation.
• Live-neutral lead/fuse continuity and polarity.
If there is a swapped polarity condition and a continuity
failure in the same test, a failed polarity message will be
displayed.
The IEC lead test runs only in single test mode.
Connect the IEC lead as indicated on the display (see
also figure 11).

Polarity
One of the test limits has
been exceeded.
Fuse/continuity not ok
L-N are swapped
OK
FAIL
IEC lead test passed
IEC lead test failed

ISO
> 299 MΩ
Result overrange.
LMT >0.1Ω+LEAD
R
PE
has exceeded the
recommended limit,
possibly because of the
length of the lead.
LMT <2.0MΩ CII
The test result is below the
recommended class II limit.
