Note: In some situations, if the device is labelled with “Surge Protection Fitted” or if it contains MOV’s (Metal Oxide
Varistors), conduct a 250V-insulation test. Always read the compliance plates before testing, especially on surge protected
powerboards. If unsure always refer to the AS/NZS:3760:2010 Standard. Should it still fail, remove it from service.
Lead Test (Extension Lead Test) – Menu A - F3
Note: Extension leads should always be uncoiled before using or testing. Please ensure that the IEC Adaptor & the IEC
socket are inserted firmly or it may result in a continuity/polarity fail.
The Lead Test completes the following sequence as part of its comprehensive testing procedure:
1. Integrated Supply Mains Test - Refer to Integrated Test section
2. Earth Bond Test (@ 200mA): 200mA test current, pass level less than 1Ω
3. Insulation Test (@ 250V, 500V or 1000V): pass level greater than 1MΩ
4. Continuity and Polarity Test 240VAC @ 2mA Checks continuity & polarity of leads
Procedure:
1. Complete a Visual Inspection
2. Plug in the IEC-550 Orange Lead adaptor lead supplied into the IEC socket.
3. Plug male end of extension lead or power board into the appliance test socket.
4. Connect the IEC-550 Orange lead to your extension lead
5. Navigate to Main Menu A, then Press the F3 key to begin the test
6. Read and record results appropriately.
If the result was a
PASS
- Tag with PASS tag showing “next test due” date and return the device to service.
If the result was a
FAIL
- Tag with a DANGER tag and remove the device from service.
TnP 3PLM Testing Menu – Main Menu B
Use the Enter button to switch between Menu A , B & C. All tests on Menu B require a Mains Power source.
Power Test - Menu B – F1
The Power Test is for the purposes of monitoring and performance of equipment. The Power Test feature is
for single phase appliances only. The Power Test allows the user to turn the appliance on and measure its
performance as a digital wattmeter.
Displayed parameters are:
• Volts AC
• Current
• Volt Amp
• Power Factor
• Watts
This test is ideal for service agents and electricians. The user can plug in the appliance and turn it on with real
time measurements displayed on the display. This is useful when testing an appliance with a compliance/
name plate on it. The operator can compare the name plate details of operating voltage, operating current,
and power factor etc. Should the appliance exceed the said values on the name plate it could be deemed faulty
and require service.
