When using any electrical appliance SAFETY must always be observed. Testing appliances is no exception and in fact MORE care must be taken to ensure personal safety is met. Although the TnT range of products has been designed to meet stringent requirements, no person can be completely protected against the consequences of the incorrect use of an electrical device. We advise that appliance testing should be conducted by a competent and suitably trained person. [. . . ] [refer to page 13 for more details] The Ext. Lead TEST completes the following sequence as part of its comprehensive testing procedure: [see page 11 for details] 1. EARTH BOND TEST (@200ma) :200Ma Test Current. INSULATION TEST (@ 250v or 500v) Pass Level GREATER than 1M 4. CONTINUITY & POLARITY TEST 250VAC Checks continuity & polarity of leads PROCEDURE: 1. Complete a VISUAL INSPECTION on the DUT (Device Under Test) [refer to page 13 for details ­ `Visual Inspection']. IF THE DUT PASSED THE `VISUAL INSPECTION', CONTINUE WITH THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS [if not, refer to page 13 'IF RESULT IS A FAIL' ]: 2. Plug in IEC adaptor lead into IEC socket ( Remove Earth lead if inserted - Please read note below) 3. Plug Male end of Extension lead or Power board into TnT tester DUT socket 4. Plug IEC adaptor lead into Extension lead /Power board socket. Read the result and record appropriately. Press the Enter key to return to the Main Menu. IF THE RESULT OF THE TEST WAS A `PASS' - Tag the DUT with the appropriate tag, including `Next test Due' date and return to service. IF THE RESULT OF THE TEST WAS A `FAIL' - Tag the DUT with a DANGER TAG AND REMOVE THE DUT FROM SERVICE. 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.

Leakage testing is a major function of the TnT-el & Tnt+ models PLEASE NOTE: A VISUAL INSPECTION MUST BE CARRIED OUT BEFORE ANY OTHER TESTS. [refer to page 13 for more details] This test determines errors of leakage not otherwise detected in a normal insulation test. If there are any doubts with insulation testing of the equipment, the Standard (AS/NZS 3760 since 2001) allows for a leakage test to be carried out instead. The TnT-el & TnT+ appliance testers have been designed to perform these tests. The Leakage Test applies power to the Device Under Test (DUT) and measures any imbalance or leakage current. The leakage is tested to the limits of the class types specified in the Standard AS/NZS 3760 ie. [. . . ] I. E if set test current were 100mA then 100 X 5. 0 =500mA. If set test current = 200mA then maximum out put 5 x 200ma =1A is out of range. Unit will not deliver this output current and display on Screen "OUT of RANGE".
