1 Plug the extension lead into the plug and socket labelled
LEADS provided on the front panel of the
SafeTcheck
. An
adaptor lead (IEC to Aust. plug) is provided for the Nanto.
2 Select LEADS. The
SafeTcheck
is now ready to test the
appliance. The green indicator alongside "Start" will now be
flashing.
Note 1:
The appliance should be on an insulated
bench to avoid earthing the measurement circuit in the
SafeTcheck
.
Note 2:
If Data Logging is switched on then additional
information will be requested. See section entitled ”
Data Logging”
Note 3:
During the test cycle the user may apply stress
to the supply lead and plug in order to detect any
intermittent faults

Test results will be displayed on the LCD along with audible
tones and flashing LEDs.
a) Pass –
C
'Thumbs Up' and PASS indication on LCD
and a short BEEP with a GREEN indicator flashing along
side "Start".
b) Fail –
C
'Thumbs Down' and/or LCD Prompt indicating
the most probable reason for failure with: The measured
value (if enabled), a continuous BEEP and a RED indicator
flashing along side "Reset".

TEST
Note 1:
If the extension lead has a fixed socket (as in
extension reels), this must be connected to the fixed test
plug on the
SafeTcheck
with a short TEST extension lead
of rated voltage and current, which has been previously
tested and verified SAFE. Normally, extension leads must
be tested individually and not cascaded.
Note 2:
If EPODs are fitted with surge protection i.e.
metal oxide varistors (MOVs), they may fail the LEADS
test. If so, test again using EPOD (250V) test, see
OTHER APPLIANCES.
Note 3:
Each socket of the EPOD must be tested in turn.
Note 4:
Long extension lead may fail if it is left coiled. Be
sure to uncoil leads prior to testing. This must be done to
visually inspect the lead in any case.
Note 5:
Additional Two (2) Wire Lead Test
Many modern appliances use a two wire mains power
lead with a figure 8 style socket i.e. no earth conductor.
The
SafeTcheck’S
Lead Test tests this style lead as a
Class 2 appliance (requires a Figure 8 adaptor; a Clover
Leaf adaptor is also available). The
SafeTcheck
will
conduct an Insulation Resistance (IR) Test if the lead is
found to have no earth (requires confirmation by the user).
The IR is measured between the inner mains conductors
and the
SafeTcheck’S
Cloak which should be wrapped
around the length of the lead or touched with the Probe
over its length.
For the Pro Logger II this feature is available on all testers
with Firmware Version V4.64 and above
