3.
Press a function key (as follows) to start the test/s. Press either F1, F2 or F3 depending on the type of
device you are testing).
F1
= Earth Leakage, limit set to MAX then 5mA fail.
F2
= D/insulated leakage
and ext. leads, limit set to MAX then 5mA fail.
F3
= RCD leakage.
CONFIRM IF SAFE TO CONTINUE? OK/QUIT. IF OK, DEVICE WILL POWER SWITCH ON. ENSURE
ITEM AND ENVIRONMENT FOR SAFE OPERATION!
4.
Results are displayed, read and record appropriately.
5.
Unplug DUT.
6.
Press Enter until you return to the main menu.
If the result was a pass
- Tag with the appropriate tag including "next test due" date and "return to service".
If the result was a fail -
Tag with a
DANGER TAG
and remove from service.
The
Leakage Test
allows the user to operate the appliance in normal operation conditions and measure its
Operating Leakage current. The displayed parameter is mA. The mA Display Range 0.0 to 22.0 mA.
A predefined value for individual class types is programmed into your TNT - Series appliance testers. These limits
are set according to the
AS/NZ3760
. Should these values change in future it can be simply altered in firmware. A
Pass / Fail will also be displayed at the end of the test.
The run time period can be adjusted (by 5sec increments). The value can be changed by selecting the leakage
test time in the options menu. See the
special functions
section of the manual for more details. The factory
default setting is 20sec. The value for the leakage runtime is also used for the power test (plus models only).
Caution:
Before operating ensure the equipment is firmly secured to eliminate the possibility of causing injury or
damage. This function will power the Unit on, Please make sure the drills or any blades of any rotating devices
have been removed prior to any testing and have clearance from body or object. Appliances may jump off benches
and may need to be secured by clamping them, or they may cause serious damage if not secured properly.
Leakage Test Time
The
leakage test
time is adjustable. You may need to adjust timing in this feature if the DUT has a long power up
time or requires special power on procedure. Default time for
Leakage Test
is 20 seconds. From this menu you
can change the test time from 5 seconds to 28800 seconds. Adjusting to any less than 5 seconds will put the test
time to infinite.
Press the key to increase the test time.
Press the key to decrease the time.
Press the
key to set the new leakage / power test time.
Press the key to escape out of the menu. No changes saved.
Audio Option - All
Enabling the audio option will make the TnT use a sound to indicate a pass or a fail at
the end of a test. If the TnT unit has never been altered, then the audio beep is disabled.
