The TnT RCD has been designed to meet stringent safety requirements, however no device can 

completely protect you from the consequences of incorrect use. The testing of electrical appliances 

requires that extra care and caution is taken at all times to ensure personal safety.

The Manufacturer also advises that appliance testing should be conducted by a 

Competent Person

 

who is suitably trained (see P.5 AS/NZ 3760:2010 for the definition of 

Competent Person

), as well as 

any additional legislation or rulings in different states. If in doubt, the manufacturer suggests the 

user contact their responsible authority. 

For maximum safety, always ensure that the following advice is followed:

•  The equipment being tested is in good condition and passes a visual check.

•  All instructions are read, understood and followed. 

•  The power supply connections are always checked - if the N-E (middle) LED Indicator flashes 

red, do not proceed before consulting the manual.

•  Always use specified fuses and protection devices. 

•  Do not use leads that require repair or are damaged. 

•  If you are unsure, call a licensed Engineer/Electrician.

Your Wavecom Appliance Tester should be calibrated every 12 months. A correctly calibrated 

tester is essential for ensuring testing accuracy is maintained, and for complying with the AS/NZS 

3760:2010.
