A Martindale EX331 IEC to 110V adaptor lead, plus 
TL157 PAT 110V adaptor is required to perform 110V 
extension lead tests.

Test Connections

u

   Refer to 110V the Extension Lead connection 

diagram below.

u

   Plug the TL157 110V adaptor into the HPAT600 

front panel mains socket (1).

u

   Connect the TL157 coupler to the 110V plug of the 

110V extension lead under test.

u

   Plug the EX331 110V plug into the coupler of the 

110V extension lead under test.

u

   Connect the other end of the EX331 to the HPAT600 

IEC input socket (3).

u

   Ensure that any switches are set to ON

u

   Undertake a LEAD test (3.3)

NOTE: The TL157 PAT 110V Adaptor has a special 
configuration of internal connections to enable the safe 
testing of Earth Continuity and of Insulation Resistance 
for 110V appliances.

However, for reasons of safety, the TL157 will not allow 
a 110V extension lead to draw any run current through 
the mains socket (1). (This is to prevent inadvertent 
connection of a 110V appliance to 230V mains).

For this reason, the LEAD test of a 110V lead using 
TL157 will always result in a FAIL on Polarity.

However the LEAD test will have tested already that 
the Earth Continuity is satisfactory and will have tested
