1 Safety
PAT-80/85/86 testers are designed for performing check tests, providing results which determine
the safety status of electrical equipment. Therefore, in order to provide conditions for correct opera-
tion and the correctness of the obtained results, the following recommendations must be applied:

Before you commence operating the tester, acquaint yourself thoroughly with the present manual
and observe the safety regulations and specifications determined by the manufacturer.

Any application that differs from those specified in this manual may result in a damage to the de-
vice and constitute a source of danger for the user.

PAT-80/85/86 tester must be operated only by appropriately qualified personnel. Operating the
tester by unauthorised personnel may result in damage to the device and constitute a source of
danger for the user.

Using this manual does not exclude the need to comply with occupational health and safety regu-
lations and with other relevant fire regulations required during the performance of a particular type
of work. Before starting the work with the device in special environments, e.g. potentially fire-
risk/explosive environment, it is necessary to consult it with the person responsible for health and
safety.

It is forbidden to operate the following:

A damaged tester which is completely or partially out of order,

A tester with damaged test leads insulation,

A tester stored for an excessive period of time in disadvantageous conditions (e.g. excessive
humidity). If the tester has been transferred from a cool to a warm environment with a high
level of relative humidity, do not start measurements until the tester is warmed up to the am-
bient temperature (approximately 30 minutes).

The tester may be powered only from grounded mains sockets.

Before starting any measurement, make sure the test leads are connected to the proper test
sockets.

Do not touch the tested device during measurements.

Test sockets and the socket for testing IEC cords are protected against improper connection to
the voltage up to 300 V AC for 60 seconds.

Repairs may be carried out only by an authorised service point.
NOTE!
Only standard and additional accessories for a given device should be used, as listed
in
section 14 . Use of different accessories can lead to errors in the test connection
and can introduce additional measurement uncertainties.

Due to continuous development of the tester’s software, the actual appearance of
the display, in case of some of the functions, may slightly differ from the display
presented in this operating manual.

An attempt to install drivers in 64-bit Windows 8 may result in displaying "Installation
failed" message.
o
Cause : Windows 8 by default blocks drivers without a digital signature.
o Solution : Disable the driver signature enforcement in Windows.
