Testing with a PAT400
3.1
Connecting an asset to the PAT400
Assets are tested through the test connectors on the top of the instrument. An asset is simply plugged into the appropriate socket.
A power cord (IEC lead), or an extension lead needs to be “wrapped back” to the small IEC socket on the top of the instrument. This
allows automatic testing of continuity and polarity without connecting the remote probe.
Standard Class I and Class II assets will also use the additional remote probe for BOND, INSULATION or LEAKAGE testing. The instruction
to connect it is displayed on the screen at the appropriate time.
The following drawings show how the asset under test should be connected at the start of testing.
NOTE: The dotted line indicates where a 110 V asset would be connected (UK PAT testers only).
Other test leads may need to be connected during the test sequence. Follow on-screen instructions.
NEVER CONNECT MORE THAN ONE ASSET AT A TIME.
3.1.1
Connecting a Class I or Class II asset.
To connect standard Class I or Class II equipment to the
PAT400:
1) Plug the asset into the 230 V test socket on the PAT400.
To connect 110 V equipment to the PAT400:
1) Plug the asset into the 110 V test socket on the PAT400.
3.1.2
Connecting an IEC type power cord or 110 V (Power) lead
To connect a standard IEC type power cord (computer type
power lead) to the PAT400:
1) Connect the mains plug to the mains test socket on the PAT400.
2) Connect the IEC plug to the IEC socket.
To connect a 110 V power lead, use the 110 V to IEC plug
adaptor (see optional accessories).
1) Connect the 110 V mains plug to the 110 V test socket
2) Connect the free end of the 110 V power lead to the 110V
adaptor plug.
3) Connect the 110 V adaptor IEC connector to the IEC socket on
the PAT400.
