Illuminates if there is an alternating voltage of 20V

AC or more in the circuit under test before continuity or insulation resistance tests. When DC voltage is detected across the measuring terminal the LED lights up.

The P-E and P-N LEDs illuminate when the wiring of the circuit under test is correct. The reverse lamp is lit when P and N are reversed.

In the loop impedance and RCD test functions, the

LCD reading is automatically frozen for 5 seconds after measurement.

The liquid crystal display has 3 1/2 digits with a decimal point and units of measurement (Ω, MΩ,

V and ms) relative to selected function. The display

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.

Mains Voltage Indication

On connecting test leads to the circuit under test on Loop and RCD ranges, the LCD reads V-PE.

Sign "V-PE Lo" or "V-PE Hi" is also shown when

Frequently asked questions

The path followed by fault current as a result of a low impedance fault occurring between the phase conductor and earth is called earth fault loop. Fault current is driven round the loop by the supply voltage, the amount of current depending on the voltage of the supply and on the impedance of the loop.

The RCD is designed to trip out when the difference between the phase current and the neutral current (this is called the residual current) reaches the tripping value (or rating) of the device. The tester provides a carefully preset value of residual current depending on its setting and then measures the time lapse between the application of the current and the operation of the RCD.

RCDs rated at 30 mA or less are sometimes used to provide extra protection against electric shock. Such RCDs require a special test procedure. Set the "RCD"switch to "150 FAST". Connect the test instrument to the RCD to be tested. Make sure that the P-E and P-N wiring check lamps are lit. Press the test button to apply a test current of 150mA where the RCD should trip within 40ms.
