If the value for the measured parameter is outside the range of the EasyPat
then the display will show overrange. This is indicated on the display by a
single 1. with no following zeros. Fig. 3 shows the earth continuity display
if the measured value is greater than 1.99ohms.
A red light which is located below the display illuminates if the instrument
overheats during a continuity test sequence. All test functions are disabled
for as long as this indicator is illuminated and will only be restored after
the instrument has cooled and the red indicator has turned off. See Fig. 2.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Connect the appliance tester to a suitable supply.
Check that the mains voltage annunciator comes on and that the indicated voltage corresponds
to that of the appliances to be tested. Plug the appliance under test into the appropriate socket
provided on the EasyPat. Ensure that the appliance is switched on and that it is suitably
mounted.
The following tests can be carried out.
a)
EARTH CONTINUITY (8 and 25 Amps)
This test is only required for earthed (Class I) appliances.
The resistance of the earth circuit in the appliance and associated mains wire
and plug is displayed.
Select the required test current, 8 or 25 Amps , with the three position
Rocker Switch.
Carefully fit the wander earth lead to any exposed earthed metal on the
appliance then press and hold the ‘CONT’ key. The display will show the
measured continuity value for the appliance for as long as the key is held
down. To prevent overheating of the EasyPAT and the earth circuit of the
appliance this test should be as short as possible.
With 0.5mm
2
this should not be longer than 2-3 seconds and in any case the
‘CONT’ button should not be held down for more than 5 seconds for any one
reading.
