Earthing Continuity Verification
Warning: this appliance must be earthed.
Following remedial service the earthing continuity of the heater must be
checked by a qualified technician using an appliance tester, or continuity tester
of accuracy Class 5 or better. Class 5 denotes an accuracy of 5% full scale
deflection.
1. Isolate power supply.
2. Set meter to 0 ohm with leads connected together.
3. Connect one test lead to the earth pin on the three pin plug.
4. Connect the other test lead to a bare patch of metal (preferably on the edge)
of the top of the cover, then to the front cover of the unit, and then to the tap.
Warning-
the water may be boiling - show extra care.
5. Test that in every instance the electrical resistance does not exceed 1 ohm.
If required, an earth continuity test can be
performed by testing between the earth pin on
the products lead and a exposed piece of metal
on the case.
