RCD LEAD
This test can be used regardless of the latching characteristics
of the RCD being either electronic or mechanical (as indicated
by Fig 1 & 2).
When testing and so tripping fixed RCDs, the
SafeTcheck
uses battery power until the RCD is reset and mains power
is restored. In earlier models the Pro Logger II's battery will
power the LCD only. This ensures the displayed test result is
visible to the user for approximately 2 minutes after the mains
power is tripped as a result of testing.

RCD Tester
Overview
The
SafeTcheck
RCD tester ensures 10mA, 30mA, portable
or fixed RCDs comply with the Australian standard for Electrical
Appliance Safety (AS/NZS 3760).
When testing portable RCDs the
SafeTcheck
inserts mains
isolation into the circuit to ensure any fixed RCD (in the mains
supply circuit) is not tripped.
The
SafeTcheck
incorporates a single In–Line RCD lead
test that ensures the appliance is tested to comply with the
standard as both an extension lead and RCD.
