    Connect Instrument under test to the 230V 13A socket (Figure 1.0 – Section13). Check polarity of mains input & connect TIS Checkbox to mains outlet. Select Local Loop range using the RCD/LOOP button (Fig. 1 Section 8). Perform either Hi Current or NO-TRIP Impedance test.
  • Page 9 Loop Impedance Verification Loop +0.50R Select Loop+0.50R range using the RCD/LOOP button (Fig. 1 Section 8). Perform either Hi Current or NO-TRIP Impedance test. Check that the loop impedance measurement has increased from the local loop impedance reading by a nominal of 0.50R (Specification: +/-5% of Range), +/- Instrument accuracy Record measurement.
