overview
At the Socket Test stage the PDL 200A and PDL 234 also accurately
measures and displays the Mains Voltage on one of the 3 LED’s.
The voltage is banded to directly reflect the new Mains Supply
Harmonised Standards BS 7697 HD 42S1.
The measurement result is
LOW
CORRECT
HIGH
less than 207 V AC
207-253 V AC
greater than 253V AC
If the Voltage Range is outside of this standard, stop testing - your customer
should notify their electricity supply company of the problem.
The Front panel of the tester gives a short reminder of Correct
Socket Wiring (3 GREEN LED’s and continuous tone) and also
indicates 4 of the most common Socket Wiring problems (RED
LED(s) and warble alarm tone).
If the three socket LED’s are GREEN (correct) and the GREEN Mains
Voltage LED is illuminated (correct) you can proceed to Loop Test by
pressing the Loop Test Button.
