Overload protection Mains Voltage Indication Symbols used on the instrument is updated approximately five times per second. The continuity test circuit is protected by a 0.5 A 600 V fast acting（HRC）ceramic fuse mounted in the battery compartment, where a spare fuse is also stored. The insulation resistance test circuit is protected by a resistor against 600 V AC for 10 seconds. On connecting test leads to the circuit under test on Loop and RCD ranges, the LCD reads V-PE.
4. CONTINUITY（RESISTANCE）TESTS WARNING ENSURE THAT CIRCUITS TO BE TESTED ARE NOT LIVE. DISCONNECT THE INSTRUMENT FROM THE CIRCUIT UNDER TEST BEFORE OPERATING THE FUNCTION SWITCH. TO SELECT THE LOW RESISTANCE RANGE SELECT“CONTINUITY” 4．1 Instrument layout See Fig 1. 4．2 Resistance of test leads The object of testing is to measure the resistance of parts of the wiring system alone,and this should not include the resistance of any test leads used.
4．3 Continuity testing N L E TEMPORARY LINK test at socket between L and E Fig 3 1．Press the test button once. Then, the instrument switches on. 2．Select the continuity test by rotating the function dial. 3．Connect the test leads to the circuit whose resistance is required（see Fig ３）HAVING FIRST MADE SURE THAT THE CIRCUIT IS NOT LIVE.
5. INSULATION TESTS WARNING ENSURE THAT CIRCUITS TO BE TESTED ARE NOT LIVE. DISCONNECT THE INSTRUMENT FROM THE CIRCUIT UNDER TEST BEFORE OPERATING THE FUNCTION SWITCH.
Fig 4 5．1．3 Conduction Current Since the insulation resistance is not infinite, a small leakage current flows through the insulation between conductors. Since Ohm's Law applies, the leakage current can be calculated from applied voltage (V) Leakage current (µA) = insulation resistance (MΩ) Fig 5 5．1．4 Surface Leakage Current Where insulation is removed, for the connection of conductors and so on, current will flow across the surfaces of the insulation between the bare conductors.
5．1．5 Total Leakage Current The total leakage current is the sum of the capacitive, conduction and surface leakage current described above. Each of the currents, and hence the total leakage current, is affected by factors such as ambient temperature, conductor temperature, humidity and the applied voltage. If the circuit has alternating voltage applied, the capacitive current (5.1.2) will always be present and can never be eliminated.

Equipment disconnected All fuses in or circuit breakers closed Mains Switch off Switches closed E Lamps out Reading not less than 0.5 MΩ Main switch open Fig 7 4．If the mains warning lamp lights and/or the buzzer sounds DO NOT PRESS THE TEST BUTTON but disconnect the instrument from the circuit. Make the circuit dead before proceeding. Fig 8 5．Press the test button when the display will show the insulation resistance of the circuit or the appliance to which the instrument is connected.
7．When testing is complete release the test button BEFORE disconnecting the test leads from the circuit or from the appliance. This will ensure that the charge built up by the circuit or the appliance during insulation test is dissipated in the discharge circuit. In the discharging process, an LED illuminates and the live circuit warning buzzer will sound. CAUTION NEVER TURN THE FUNCTION DIAL WHILST THE TEST BUTTON IS DEPRESSED AS THIS MAY DAMAGE THE INSTRUMENT.
6. LOOP IMPEDANCE TESTS DISCONNECT THE INSTRUMENT FROM THE CIRCUIT UNDER TEST BEFORE OPERATING THE FUNCTION SWITCH TO SELECT THE LOOP TESTING RANGE SELECT“LOOP” 6.1 Voltage Measurement Press the test button once. Then, the instrument switches on.When the tester is set to the loop test function, mains voltage is displayed as soon as the instrument is connected for test. This voltage display is automatically updated five times every second.
only be carried out after the mains supply has been connected. In many cases, any RCD in the circuit will be tripped by this test, which draws current from the phase and returns it through the earth system. The RCD will see this as the type of fault it is designed to protect against, and will trip. To prevent this unwanted RCD tripping during loop testing, any RCD must be taken out of circuit and temporarily replaced with a suitably rated MCB unit.
the reduced current of 15mA flowing.This setting will be very unlikely to trip out the circuit RCD. Note：Do not connect phase to phase as this instrument is rated at 230V. 6.5 Loop impedance at 3 phase equipment Use the same procedure as in 6.4 above ensuring that only one phase is connected at a time i.e.：First Test: red prod to phase 1, black prod to neutral, green crocodile clip to earth. Second Test: red prod to phase 2, black prod to neutral, green crocodile clip to earth etc.

7. RCD TESTS DISCONNECT THE INSTRUMENT FROM THE CIRCUIT UNDER TEST BEFORE OPERATING THE FUNCTION SWITCH TO SELECT THE RCD TEST RANGE SELECT“RCD” 7.1 Purpose of the RCD test The RCD must be tested to ensure that operation takes place quickly enough to ensure that there is unlikely to be serious danger to a person experiencing an electric shock from the system.
10．Set the function switch to X1 for the“trip”test, which measures the time taken for the RCD to trip with the set residual current. 11．Set the "LOOP/RCD" switch to 0゜ 12．Make sure that the P-E and P-N wiring check lamps are lit. If they are not, disconnect the tester and check the wiring for a possible fault. 13．If the lamps are lit, press the test button to apply full rated tripping current and the RCD should trip, the tripping time being shown on the display.
maximum of 2000ms on the X1/2 and X1 ranges. The fact that the RCD has not tripped will be evident because the PN and PE LEDs will still be on. On RCD ranges, when the N-E voltage rises to 50V or greater, the measurement is automatically suspended and "VNE Hi" is displayed in the LCD display. Leakage currents in the circuit following the RCD may influence the measurements.The earth electrode resistance of a measuring circuit with a probe shall not exceed 50Ω at 500mA range.
9. BATTERY REPLACEMENT When the display shows the low battery indication, ( ), disconnect the test leads from the instrument. Remove the battery cover and the batteries. Replace with eight (8) new 1.5 V R6 or LR6 batteries, taking care to observe correct polarity. Replace the battery cover. Note: The instrument is sometimes powered on when connecting a battery.
11. SERVICING If this tester should fail to operate correctly, return it to your distributor stating the exact nature of the fault. Before returning the instrument ensure that:1．The leads have been checked for continuity and signs of damage. 2．The continuity mode fuse (situated in the battery compartment) has been checked. 3．The batteries are in good condition.
12. CASE, STRAP AND SHOULDER PAD ASSEMBLY Correct assembly is shown in Fig 12. By hanging the instrument round the neck, both hands will be left free for testing. ① Pass the strap DOWN through the first case lug,under the case and UP through the other lug. ② Side the sholder-pad onto the strap. ④ Pass the strap through the buckle,adjust the strap for length and secure. ③ Feed the strap DOWN through the slots in the back of the test-lead pouch.
