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.
