Class 2 Test - Double Insulation Test – Menu A - F2
The Double Insulation Test completes the following test sequences as part of its procedure:
1. Integrated Supply Mains Test - Refer to Integrated Test section
2. Integrated NCNT Test
Refer to Integrated Test section
3. Double Insulation Test (@250V or 500V): pass level greater than 1MΩ
Procedure:
1. Complete a Visual Inspection, and inspect the compliance plate to ensure the
appliance is a Class 2 appliance. Look for the double insulated symbol, seen here.
2. Plug the appliance into the appliance test socket of the TnT RCD
3. Navigate to Main Menu A, then Press the F2 key to begin the test
4. Read and record results appropriately
If the result was a
PASS
- Tag with PASS tag showing “next test due” date and return the device to service.
If the result was a
FAIL
- Tag with a DANGER tag and remove the device from service.
Note: In some situations, if the device is labelled with “Surge Protection Fitted” or if it contains MOV’s (Metal
Oxide Varistors), conduct a 250V-insulation test. Always read the compliance plates before testing, especially
on surge protected powerboards. If unsure always refer to the AS/NZS:3760:2010 Standard. Should it still fail,
remove it from service.
Lead Test (Extension Lead Test) – Menu A - F3
Note: Extension leads should always be uncoiled before using or testing. Please ensure that the IEC Adaptor & the IEC
socket are inserted firmly or it may result in a continuity/polarity fail.
The Lead Test completes the following sequence as part of its comprehensive testing procedure:
1. Integrated Supply Mains Test - Refer to Integrated Test section
2. Earth Bond Test (@ 200mA): 200mA test current, pass level less than 1Ω
3. Insulation Test (@ 250V or 500V): pass level greater than 1MΩ
4. Continuity and Polarity Test 240VAC @ 2mA Checks continuity & polarity of leads
Procedure:
1. Complete a Visual Inspection
2. Plug in the IEC-550 Orange Lead adaptor lead supplied into the IEC socket.
3. Plug male end of extension lead or power board into the appliance test socket.
4. Connect the IEC-550 Orange lead to your extension lead
5. Navigate to Main Menu A, then Press the F3 key to begin the test
6. Read and record results appropriately.
7.
If the result was a
PASS

If the result was a
FAIL
- Tag with a DANGER tag and remove the device from service.
TnT RCD Testing Menu – Main Menu B
Use the Enter button to switch between Menu A and Menu B. All tests on Menu B require a Mains Power source.
Power Test - Menu B – F1
The Power Test is for the purposes of monitoring and performance of equipment. The Power Test feature is
for single phase appliances only. The Power Test allows the user to turn the appliance on and measure its
performance as a digital wattmeter.
Displayed parameters are:
• Volts AC
• Current
• Volt Amp
• Power Factor
• Watts
This test is ideal for service agents and electricians. The user can plug in the appliance and turn it on with real
time measurements displayed on the display. This is useful when testing an appliance with a compliance/
name plate on it. The operator can compare the name plate details of operating voltage, operating current,
and power factor etc. Should the appliance exceed the said values on the name plate it could be deemed faulty
and require service.
The Power Test completes the following sequence as part of its comprehensive testing procedure:
1.
Integrated Supply Mains Test - Refer to Integrated Test section
2.
Power Test
Caution
: Before operating ensure the equipment is firmly secured to eliminate the possibility of causing injury
or damage. This function will power the appliance on, and in the case of appliance with movable parts these
parts may begin to move. Ensure the appliance can power on safely before proceeding.
Procedure:
1. Complete a Visual Inspection. If the unit passed the Visual Inspection, continue with the following
instructions. If not, refer to the First Test section.
2. Ensure the appliance is safely located and secured, as it will be powered and operational during this test.
3. Plug male end of appliance into Appliance Test Socket.
4. Press F1 to start the power test.
5. A warning message will appear on screen. If the appliance is safely located and secured press F3 to
proceed. The unit will power on.
6. Read and record results appropriately.
7. Once the appliance has powered down and the test is complete, unplug the unit.
8. Press Enter to return to the main menu.
Note: Because the power test is not required in the electrical testing standards there is no pass/fail value built in to the
tester. It is up to the user to determine if the item is a pass or a fail based on the compliance/name plate.
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 the unit from service.
