Wavecom Instruments Portable Appliance Testers Instruction Manual
11
Procedure:
1.
Complete a Visual Inspection
(Note: Only proceed if test passed)
2.
Plug the appliance into appliance test socket.
3.
Connect earth clip to any exposed metal on the device (if any, or device can be wrapped in foil or use
metal mesh braid, Part No: WCM-ES 500)
4.
Press the F2 key and wait for results (ensure the device is powered on)
5.
Read and record results appropriately
6.
Unplug device
7. Tester will return to Main menu A automatically
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.
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.
(Hint always read the compliance plates during Visual)
*If unsure refer to the
AS3760:2010 Standard
.
Should it still fail, remove it from service. (Refer to the
Technical Information
section to change test voltage).
Lead Test (Ext Lead Test) - F3
Please Note:
A
Visual Inspection
test must be carried out before any others (refer to
First
Test
Section)
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 or 500V): pass level
greater
than 1MΩ
4. Continuity and Polarity Test 240VAC @ 2mA Checks continuity & polarity of leads
Procedure:
1.
Complete a Visual Inspection.
Only proceed if test passed
.
2.
Plug in supplied orange IEC adaptor lead supplied into front IEC socket.
3.
Plug male end of extension lead or power board in to TnT
