PDL Series

Socket Test Technology

The PDL 200A and PDL 234 use our well proven Socket Testing patented
technology to indicate the socket is correctly wired.

Plugging the unit in and switching on mains supply automatically initiates the
socket test sequence.

If the socket is correctly wired the LED’s will be GREEN on this check.

If the socket is incorrectly wired one or more LED’s will go to FLASHING RED to
indicate there is a a socket miss-wire or other fault.

If flashing red (or orange) occurs using the touch pad at this stage, this should
show where the socket wiring problem is – as per the example below.

A unique feature of your tester is the ability to display by the position of the red
LED(s) where the problem is, EARTH, LIVE (Phase) or NEUTRAL.

A full list of wiring faults is shown on the back cover of this User Guide.

This is an example of ‘Fault Locate’ showing Live (Phase), neutral reverse.
