Type Test. (default 0.2 ohm measurement threshold ) including test probe resistance
(0.1 ohm resistance allowed within appliance under test)
For use in the developmental testing of new appliances. High sensitivity to damaged earth wiring.
Best for use: Detection of poor capacity earth track wiring within the appliance to the plug. If result greater than 0.2
ohm, (FAIL) repair or replace. Test again.
PASS <0.2ohm.

Measured values
For viewing failed results after every test. The need for viewing pass results is a distraction to the task. Even if the
result is close to a failed result, a competent person is not authorised to fail an appliance just below the threshold.
Threshold levels are established more than 10 fold from dangerous levels. A PASS IS A PASS alternately a FAIL IS
A FAIL for all competent personnel. Failed appliances must be removed for maintenance only at failed thresholds.
