When connected to the circuit to be tested the three status LED’s will

show the following supply connection information:

LED Normal

Reversed 

Notes

indicator supply

(L-N) supply

=ON        = OFF

L - PE

Voltage between L- PE 

greater than 25 V

L - N

Voltage between L-N    

greater than 25 V

N - PE

Voltage between N-PE 

greater than 25 V

Warning:

Voltage indicator LED’s cannot reveal a N-PE supply reversal

Polarity indication

If connected to a single phase power supply by a plug or by the 3-wire

lead set, three LED’s marked L-PE, N-PE and L-N will indicate supply

polarity

Note:

The presence of a voltage between phase and earth does not prove

earth continuity, as the earth could have a high resistance and a voltage

would still be measured. To test earth continuity refers to the sections on

loop testing.

LOOP TESTING

11

Two loop testing options are available: [No Trip] and [Hi].

Non-tripping loop test  [No Trip]

Earth loop impedance measurement (at a power socket):

The [No Trip] range is a high resolution (0,01 

), low test current earth

loop resistance measurement range. It requires a connection to neutral, but

allows quick and accurate measurement of the earth loop resistance

without tripping all RCDs with a rated current 30 mA or higher. 

To perform a [No-Trip] loop test:

Range selection:

1. Select the [No Trip] test range. A non-trip loop test is confirmed on the

display with the 

symbol  

2. On the LT320/LT330 set the top rotary knob to [Z]

Testing:

1. Connect the mains plug test lead to the instrument.

2. Insert the plug into an installation socket.

3. Supply voltage is displayed.

4. Press the [TEST] key.

5. After a test period of up to 20 seconds the measured loop value is

displayed.

If desired the test can be repeated by pressing [TEST] again.

Using the three wire lead set

The [No Trip] loop test can be carried out where a power socket is not

available using the three wire lead set. 

1. Connect the RED lead to Phase, BLACK lead to neutral and GREEN lead

to earth.
