Live tests have to be confirmed by pressing the
YES
key.
You will be prompted to do so after pressing
GO
.
Fuse/L-N Pre-test
The pre-test verifies the fuse and lead continuity by
applying a low voltage signal across the appliance phase
and neutral pins.
If the pre-test fails the display will show a self-explanatory
message.
A fail may indicate that the fuse is blown or that there is
an open circuit in the L-N conductors. In this case press
MEM
to store the fail result.
The test could also fail because you forgot to switch the
appliance on. In this case switch the appliance on and
repeat the test.
Very low power appliances, or appliances with
electronically controlled on/off switches or with an
inductance may fail this test. To enable you to test these
appliances you can assign a pass to the Fuse/L-N loop
Pre-test by pressing
GO
to continue with the test.
Note:
Accidental measurement of a defective unit may
trip a RCCB (residual current circuit breaker).
