Features of the AUTOTRIP
The AUTOTRIP is packed with design features that maximize both convenience and
safety. These include:
Large LCD display
To give the clearest results the AUTOTRIP uses a large auto-backlit LCD which
makes reading the test results easy even when used in poorly lit areas.
Auto shut down
To preserve battery life when not in use the AUTOTRIP incorporates an Auto-Off
function that powers the unit down after three minutes of inactivity. To resume
use after an Auto shut down a single press of any of the function buttons will
power up the unit.
Battery check
The battery charge condition is indicated on the LCD display.
For simplicity the tester is powered by just four conventional AA (LR6) alkaline
batteries.
Easy to locate
The test lead inputs are located on the top of the case allowing the tester to
stand vertically or be laid flat.
Hands Free
Most of the test functions can utilise the Hands-Free mode in which the tester
is primed to automatically start the test as soon as the probes are connected to
a circuit, thereby leaving your hands free to hold the test probes.
Socket wiring check
To protect both the user and the instrument against harm caused by accidental
connection to an incorrectly wired supply the tester will automatically check the
polarity upon connection to a live supply. If the wiring has been incorrectly
connected testing will be inhibited an alarm will sound along with a flashing red LED.
Please note the
polarity LED indicator is not able to determine N-PE supply reversal.
Pass Fail Result
In addition to displaying the time taken for the RCD to trip the AUTOTRIP will also
indicate whether it has passed or failed the RCD requirements.
Auto Type II RCD Testing
To reduce the testing time the AUTOTRIP has two automatic test functions
which allows the operator to set the auto test sequence to run, resetting the RCD at the
distribution board during auto test cycle then returning to the instrument to recall the
results.
