Test Sequence
➭ Prior to all leakage current measurements, please make sure 
that the measurement parameters „Ref. voltage L-PE“ and 
„Testingfreq. Alt“ have been correctly set in the SETUP, see 
section 6.2.
➭ Se
t the rotary switch to the I
P
 position.
➭ Connec
t the DUT to the test socket.
➭ In the ca
se of direct measurement P1, measurement 
must be performed with mains plug polarity in both di-
rections. Select the respective polarity t
o this end by 
pressing the NL/LN key. 
➭ Start the test: press the START/STOP key. 
➭ After each reconnection to the mains, and as soon as 
the first test is started, a mains connection test is exe-
cuted.
➭ A
cknowledge the warning which indicates that line 
voltage will be connected to the test socket. 
➭ Contact the short-circuited inputs for the applied parts 
with test probe P1.

The measured values are displayed. The measured 
value recording symbol shown at the right appears. 
Each time th
is key is pressed, the currently displayed 
measured value is saved to the buffer.
➭ S
top the test: press the START/STOP key. 
The save symbol appears (floppy disk showing the 
number of measured values stored to buffer memory) 
and pr
ompts you to save the measured values to an ID 
number.
➭ Read 
the measured values and compare them with the table 
of permissible limit values.
➭ P
ress the ESC key in order to discard the measured 
values stored to buffer memory and acknowledge by 
pressing the key shown at the right.
