Page 3: Operation Overview
Operation overview Your Socket & See tester has a special polarity test function. It is a little known fact that a system can be reverse wired with Live (Phase) to earth/neutral and earth/neutral to Live (Phase) The sockets will all work and conventional loop testers will show and test that everything is correct despite this very dangerous wiring condition. - Page 4 Correct socket wiring and correct polarity At the Socket Test stage the PDRC 380 also accurately measures and displays the mains voltage in the LCD (Liquid Crystal Display). A reminder of the correct voltage range 207-253V AC (Harmonised Standard BS 7697 HD 42S1) is given above the display.
- Page 5 Operation - a detailed view of the PDRC 380 Note numbers also indicate sequence of test. Three LED’s show socket wiring status On/Off button Correct mains voltage Selects phase indicated angle the test will start from Selects RCD =180 rating for 30mA and 100mA ∆...

RCD testing Plug the tester in and switch on the mains supply. Power ON/OFF - Pressing and releasing this button turns the PDRC 380 on - holding down for longer than 2 seconds turns the unit off (plus intelligent Auto Power Off is incorporated). - Page 8 If the manual/auto button is pressed AUTO - appears in the display (see F page six). The PDRC 380 will now automatically select the test sequence for you. Example for 30mA RCD...
- Page 9 RCD testing Reset the RCD, the display will show x5 and push 9 the RCD will trip (usually faster than x1). Reset the RCD the phase angle is now push 9 again for the final test. The same automatic principle applies to 100mA RCDs except x5 test are not required for RCDs of this rating.
- Page 10 Socket Test Technology The PDRC 380 uses our well proven Socket Testing patented technology to indicate the socket is correctly wired. Plugging the unit in and switching on mains supply automatically initiates the socket test sequence. If the socket is correctly wired the LED’s will be GREEN on this check.
