Testing an IEC Lead
An IEC ( kettle ) lead is tested in exactly the same way as an extension
lead.
1.
Plug the 13A plug end of the IEC lead into the socket on top of the
tester
2. Plug the IEC end of the IEC lead into the IEC socket on the front of
the microPAT
3. Press the Cable button
The Cable test button will flash amber while the test is underway.
When the test is finished, either the green PASS indicator will light up, or
the appropriate red FAIL indicators will light up. The test button will also be
green or red.
User Cal Check
In order to ensure that PAT testing equipment operates correctly, the IEE
Code of Practice for In-service Inspection & Testing of Electrical
Equipment states that ‘
The accuracy of a test instrument should be
verified and recorded annually or in accordance with the manufacturer’s
instructions.
’ The microPAT should be formally calibrated annually. Please
contact Quick Test to arrange calibration.
While formal calibration is required on an annual basis, the IEE
recommend that PAT testing equipment is checked on a regular basis to
confirm correct operation.
The microPAT incorporates a unique feature to perform this.
1.
Plug the 13A plug end of the short IEC lead into the socket on top of
the tester
2. Plug the IEC end of the short IEC lead into the IEC socket on the
front of the microPAT
3. Press both the Class 1 and Class 2 buttons simultaneously
The Class 1 and Class 2 buttons will both flash amber and all three FAIL
indicators will flash red, but will turn off as each test passes. If the Cal
check passes the green PASS indicator will light up as well as the Class 1
and Class 2 buttons.
