display indicates the actual test current (e.g. 205 mA. The 
maximum is defined in setup menu.

Note: The test current displayed is the actual test current used 
during the test, which will depend on the resistance of the circuit 
under test.

1. Turn the instrument ‘ON’ by rotating the selector switch to the 

desired [k

2. Connect the test leads to the isolated conductors under test.

3.  Observe the test result, displayed automatically.  

Setup options

The setup position permits the user to adjust various threshold 
values and default settings. When SETUP is selected, the instrument 
firmware revision is displayed, followed by the buzzer alarm

Setup procedure

1. Turn the instrument ‘ON’ by rotating the selector switch to the 

Setup position. The firmware version is displayed prior to the first 
setting BUZ.

2. Press the TEST button repeatedly to select the desired parameter, 

BUZ, Loc, ISC etc.

3. When the function to be changed is displayed, 

press and 

hold

 the TEST button to change the value. Each subsequent 

press increments the limit. Holding down the TEST button will 
automatically increment.

4. Changing a value will start the lock [
