Testing sockets
- Location of the position of the live pin (right or left)
- Earth connection
- Voltage present
A pictogram represents the base of the socket and indicates the position of the live Pin (right or
left).
The same pictogram displays the presence of an earth (displayed for any earth < 2000
Ω. In
addition, a reminder of the voltage is indicated (230V).
If the (400V!) pictogram appears,

Continuity test
The continuity of the earth protection conductors and the equipotential connections (main and
local) must be tested. In accordance with NF C 15-100, the tester enables you to check that the
resistance is less than 2
Ω. Firstly, connect the cable on the reel to the body of the unit, then
connect your unit to a 2P+E socket. Then, with the retractable test probe, make contact with the
parts to be checked. Continuity of the connections is indicated by a continuous audible signal.
Notes:
1.
When the unit is in the CONTINUITY mode, the back lighting is switched off (to
ensure the measurement current of 200mA specified by NFC 15-100).
2.
If there is an abnormal voltage on the earth protection conductors ,the unit enters the
Err mode and sounds intermittently.
