LED indicator is not able to determine N-PE supply reversal. Pass Fail Result In addition to displaying the time taken for the RCD to trip the AUTOTRIP will also indicate whether it has passed or failed the RCD requirements.
(marked N) and the Green Earth terminal (marked E). Test lead configuration The AUTOTRIP can be used with 2 different types of connecting lead. 1 Ref: TL-3P Mains lead; 3 x 4mm plugs to a 10A plug Optional Accessory 2 Ref: TL-RGB 3-Pole distribution board test lead set;...

Hands Free Function Mains supply wiring and voltage test When first connected to a mains supply the AUTOTRIP will automatically conduct a safety test to ensure that the Live, Neutral and Earth conductors are all connected correctly and that the supply voltage is in the acceptable range (195-253V).
RCD TEST FUNCTIONS The AUTOTRIP will test Type I (10mA) & Type II (30mA) RCD standard (AC) types across the full range of tests required and also RCD (S) type 100mA rated RCD’s. Test Requirements Each (AC) type RCD should be tested to ensure that it operates with a maximum...

The AUTOTRIP takes care of this for you by alternating the start point of consecutive tests at any given setting. If for example you have selected a test at the rated trip current (x1) of a 30mA RCD, the first press of the test button will apply a 30mA fault current starting on the positive half cycle (0°)

The AUTOTRIP also includes a diagnostic Ramp test feature. In this mode rather than applying a steady fault current and measuring the time taken for the RCD to trip, the AUTOTRIP gradually increases the fault current and identifies the level of leakage at which the RCD trips.

Upon completion of the auto test routine the results for each setting can be recalled by using the RECALL button to cycle through the routine. The AUTOTRIP will also indicate whether it has passed or failed the RCD requirements. 30mA Full Auto Test Turn the rotary selector to the ‘30mA Full AUTO’...
