Seaward PrimeTest 200, Operating Instructions Manual

5.0

General Information

5.1

The polarity indicator  1  is automatic. Only one polarity is indicated with
respect to the negative black socket  12 

5.2

The bargraph display indicates resistance measurement on a logarithmic
scale and voltage measurements on a linear scale.

5.3

Range overflow of the digital display  1  is automatic and is indicated by
the greater than symbol >.

5.4

The     button  6  allows continuous measurements of M

Ω

and       without

the need to repeatedly press the         button. To activate the continuous
test mode the operator must press and hold the

button down then

simultaneously press the lock       button down. Both buttons can then be
released in any order. The    symbol will be illuminated on the LCD
display. The      mode when M

Ω

measuring function is selected outputs a

continuous test voltage between the red and black test leads.
The   mode when    measuring function is selected outputs a
continuous test current between the red and black probes.
The operator can deactivate the   mode by pressing either
the      or       buttons.

5.5

The PrimeTest 200 will automatically switch off after a period of 5 minutes
with no push button or switch action. Where the     mode is enabled the 
automatic shutdown period is 3 minutes. When a subsequent push 
button or switch action takes place the instrument automatically switches
itself on again.

5.6

When the PrimeTest 200 is switched on from power off position   to 
another switch position, an  on load battery test occurs.  The result of this
test determines the available battery capacity.  A healthy battery results in
no battery symbol being illuminated on the LCD display. A
deteriorating battery results in the   symbol being illuminated in the 
steady state. An unhealthy battery results in a flashing     symbol.

When the flashing      symbol is displayed all test and measurement
functions are inhibited to avoid endangering persons by recording
false measurements.

5.7

During the differential leakage     and touch leakage     test functions it is
possible that a RCD could be tripped due to the inadvertent testing of a
defective EUT.

5.8

Dimensions of the PrimeTest 200 are 265 x 108 x 55mm (L x W x H)
