Important Information regarding the Probe & Stainless Steel Cloak

Appendix A

Subject: Using 

 or  

Probe Test with or without the  
Cloak when testing Double Insulated 
(Class 2) Appliances

.

The 

SafeTcheck

 (STC) Pro Logger II and Nanto have the 

features 

 and Probe Test. This addendum 

details how to best use both.

SafeTchecks

 may use the unique feature 

 

in conjunction with a Stainless Steel Cloak to test Double 
Insulated Appliances. 

 ensures the 

Device Under Test (DUT) is both correctly connected to the 

SafeTcheck

 and its exposed surfaces adequately covered to 

reduce the chance of an erroneous test result.

The Probe Test (Firmware Version 4.46 and above) gives 
the operator the ability to use either the probe, the cloak, or 
a combination of both to test Double Insulated Appliances. 
Unlike 

 the Probe Test does not look for a 

completed return circuit, however it does provide adequate 
time to move the probe to all appropriate points on the DUT’s 
surface before the test is complete (the test maybe shortened 
by pressing Reset).

In some cases the operator may find that the Probe Test 
is more appropriate or convenient e.g. the size or physical 
location of the DUT may make it difficult to use the cloak with 

Always use a Probe when conducting a 

live Run Test.

To switch between the Double Insulated Probe Test and 

. Options, go to the Utilities Menu under the 

F2 Key, scroll to the 

 Option using the F1/

F2 Keys and then select the required option.  The selected 
option will always have a small rectangle to its right. Note: 

 is not present during live Run Tests.

IMPORTANT NOTES:

1.   Always test electrical appliances in accordance with  

AS/NZS 3760.

2.   Always ensure the Cloak is clean and free from dirt,  

oil and corrosion.

3.   Using a Stainless Steel Cloak may not prevent the user  

from an electric shock. 

4.   We recommend the use of 

  in 

conjunction with the Cloak for Insulation Testing of 
Class 2 Double Insulated Appliances. Failure to use this 
option with an incorrectly connected appliance may 
result in an incorrect test result.

5.  

Using the Cloak is not recommended when 
conducting live Run Tests on appliances.

 The 

cloak may become live or caught in moving parts.

6.   Ensure the Cloak is wrapped tightly around the 

appliance with the return lead connected as close 
as practical to exposed metal parts for minimum 
resistance across the cloak and good electrical contact 
with the appliance.

7.   This appendix supersedes any other published 

information or advice relating to the use of a Stainless 
Steel Cloak.

   For more information regarding this feature  

or for any questions relating to the STC please
