Operations
The earth tester enables you to perform the following operations:
- check the resistance of the earth socket
- locate the position of the live pin (right or left), check the earth connection.
- check for 230V (or an abnormal voltage)
- check continuity (earth conductor, main and local equipotential connections)
These test points are required by standard NF C 15-100 and assist in delivering a compliant
installation.
To facilitate testing , the tester can be used directly on 2P+E 10/16 A sockets.
In addition, the two-colour backlighting will alert you instantaneously to the condition of your
installation.
Blue: OK, Red: fault (earth>100
Ω, incorrect voltage, etc.)
