Seaward PrimeTest 200, Operating Instructions Manual

PrimeTest 200

11

8.5.2

Plug the equipment under test (EUT) into the EUT socket  11  on the 
front of the PrimeTest 200.

8.5.3

Plug the black insulation test lead into the negative, black, socket  12 
on the PrimeTest 200.

8.5.4

Connect the other end of the black insulation test lead to any exposed
metal parts on the outer cover of the EUT or near the mains input or
mains switch if there are no exposed metal parts.

8.5.5

To start a Class  II safety test, press the       button  9 .

During an insulation resistance measurement a high voltage is
applied between the Live/Neutral of the EUT and the black test
probe. It should be noted that this voltage can also be present on
bare metalwork of the EUT.

8.5.6

The insulation resistance of the EUT is measured over a period of 2 
seconds. The large display 2 indicates a digital and analogue 
insulation M

Ω

, the small display  3  indicates a PASS/FAIL status. An 

additional visual display of a 

✓

or  

✗

also indicates PASS/FAIL status.

8.5.7

Insulation resistance value is held on the LCD display for a period of 1 
second. The displayed insulation resistance will flash if a FAIL and 
remain steady if a PASS.

8.5.8

The result will remain displayed until another rotary switch or pushbutton
action.

8.6

Touch Leakage Current,

See figure 8

Attention - before a touch leakage current test is performed on a 
Class II EUT the operator must ensure that the EUT has already 
passed a Class II safety test.

Attention - An RCD may be triggered if the EUT is defective.

Warning - It is important that the user verifies that an appliance with
moving parts (e.g. an electric drill) is safely mounted to allow
movement without causing damage to equipment or personnel. 

8.6.1

Plug the PrimeTest 200 into a mains power socket using the supplied 
IEC lead.

8.6.2

Select the touch leakage current test function on the rotary switch  10  . 
The LCD will display a probe signal to indicate that a safety test lead is
required.

8.6.3

Plug the equipment under test into the EUT socket 11 on the 
front of the PrimeTest 200.

8.6.4

Plug the black test lead into the negative, black socket  12  on the
PrimeTest 200.

8.6.5

Connect the other end of the black test lead to exposed metalwork
on the EUT.

8.6.6

When the         button   9   is pressed the PrimeTest 200 checks the wiring
of the power socket being used. If the line potentials are correct then the
LCD will display the symbols PE and PN in the steady state. Where a
fault exists then the  appropriate symbol will flash (see Appendix 2) along
with     symbol being displayed in the steady state. A fault condition will
inhibit the touch leakage test.
