An input voltage of 

30 V AC/DC, detected between the and input measuring

terminals, disables the voltage measurement function. A repetitive audible alarm
is activated and a flashing high voltage    symbol is displayed on the LCD. 

7.5

IEC lead test

The IEC lead test is a sequence of earth continuity measurement  (section 7.1)
- insulation resistance measurement (section 7.2) - Live/Neutral checks for o/c,
s/c and crossed conductors in the IEC lead.

An input voltage of 

30 V AC/DC, detected between the and input measuring

terminals, disables the touch current test function. A repetitive audible alarm is
activated and a flashing high voltage    symbol is displayed on the LCD. 

The test is also disabled when phase-neutral (PN) or phase-earth (PE) voltage
is not at mains potential or a voltage of 40 V AC or greater exists between
neutral-earth (NE).

An input voltage of 

30 V AC/DC, detected between the and input measuring

terminals, disables the differential current test function. A repetitive audible
alarm is activated and a flashing high voltage    symbol is displayed on the LCD. 

The test is also disabled when phase-neutral (PN) or phase-earth (PE) voltage
is not at mains potential or a voltage of 40 V AC or greater exists between
