  • Page 5: Introduction

    PRODUCT MANUAL Introduction The CABPAT is a hand held battery powered unit suitable for carrying out electrical safety checks on: • Class I appliances • Class II appliances • IEC mains leads • Extension leads Overview With reference to Figures 1 and 2.
  • Page 6 PRODUCT MANUAL Power ON/OFF = press and hold the CL I and CL II test buttons simultaneously, CABPAT will power on/off when buttons are released. Note: The unit will automatically switch OFF after approximately 3 minutes if no keys are pressed.

  • Page 7: Performing Tests

    If the Appliance under test has an ON/OFF switch, make sure it is in the ON position. Press the CL I test button to start a Class I test sequence. The CABPAT will now test the continuity of the protective earth.
  • Page 8 CABPAT will display LO LOAD. If the LO LOAd enunciator is displayed, the load presented by the appli- ance may be too small for the CABPAT to detect. In this case, press the CL I test button to continue.
