3.4 Testing Appliances
Two distinct methods of testing appliances are available with this appliance
tester.
3.4.1 Manual Mode
This mode can be entered any time the PAT is in its ready mode simply by
selecting the appropriate test key. With manual mode it is possible to carry out
individual tests on appliances without having to complete a full auto test. This can
be a useful aid to quickly establish that a repaired appliance is likely to pass an
auto test or just to establish that an earth bond has been correctly made for
example. The results obtained from manual tests are not stored in memory. The
manual tests which can be carried out with this PAT are as follows:
SET UP:- CONTINUITY
TEST LIMIT 0.10 ohm
SET UP:- CONTINUITY
TEST CURRENT 25 AMP
