Seaward PrimeTest 200, Operating Instructions Manual

If the power test is selected but the mains supply has not been 
connected to the PrimeTest 200 then PE and PN symbols will 
flash and the test is inhibited.

8.6.7

To start the touch leakage test, press the       button  9  . Mains power is
applied to the EUT for a period of 2 seconds.

8.6.8

When a longer touch leakage test is required the operator must press
and hold the    button down, then simultaneously press the lock

button down. Mains power is applied to the EUT for a period of up to

30 seconds, The operator can deactivate the      mode and end the test
by pressing the      button.

8.6.9

The large digital display  2  indicates the touch leakage current, in mA,
the small digital display  3  indicates a PASS/FAIL status. An additional
visual display of a 

✓

or 

✗

also indicates the PASS/FAIL status.

8.6.9A Schuko Version. The small display  3  will show 1-2 to indicate that the

first in a sequence of two touch leakage measurements is being
recorded. The large display  2  indicates the touch leakage current, in mA,
the small display  3  will revert to indicating a PASS/FAIL status. An
additional visual display of a 

✓

or 

✗

also indicates the PASS/FAIL status.

8.6.9B Schuko Version. If the result is a FAIL then the test is terminated else a

PASS condition allows the test to continue. The operator again presses
the        button. The small display  3  will show 2-2 to indicate that the
second in a sequence of two touch leakage measurements is being
recorded. The large display  2  indicates the touch leakage current, in mA,
the small display  3  will revert to indicating a PASS/FAIL status. An
additional visual display of a 

✓

or 

✗

also indicates the PASS/FAIL status.

8.6.10 The touch leakage current will remain displayed until another rotary

switch or pushbutton action.

8.7

Low resistance measuring function,

See figure 9

Attention - Disconnect the IEC mains cable from the IEC socket
before commencing this test. Electric Shock Danger! 

Attention - an error can occur in the resistance measurement when
parallel impedance is connected from additional working circuits 
and by circulating current.

Do not exceed the maximum permitted voltage of 30 V AC/DC with
respect to earth potential! Electric shock danger!

8.7.1

Ensure the circuit or test object to be measured is voltage free. Ensure
the IEC mains lead is disconnected from the PrimeTest 200.

8.7.2

Select the resistance measurement function on the rotary switch  10 .  
The LCD will display two probe symbols to indicate that both test leads
are required.

8.7.3

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

8.7.4

Plug the red test lead into the positive, red socket  13  on the 
PrimeTest 200.

8.7.5

Compensate for the resistance of the test leads (zero adjustment) by 
connecting the two probe tips together.  Press and hold the      button  7 
until the audible alarm sounds, the large digital display  2  indicates 0.00
in 

Ω

and the       symbol is displayed in the steady state.

The low resistance measuring function measures resistance values
in the range 0-20K

Ω

. Any zeroing of the safety test leads will only 

affect resistance measurements 0 -20

Ω

8.7.6

Connect the red and black test leads to the circuit or object to be
measured.
