WARNING

These instructions contain information and warnings that are necessary for
safe operation and maintenance of the EasyPat. It is recommended that you
read the instructions carefully and ensure the contents are understood.
Failure to understand the instructions and comply with warnings and
instructions herein can result in serious injury, damage or even death.
In order to avoid the danger of electrical shock, it is important that proper
safety measures are taken when working with voltages exceeding 30V AC
rms, 42V AC peak or 60V DC. Never exceed the maximum allowable input
level for each function and range. Refer to the specifications for maximum
inputs. Never touch exposed wiring, connections or live circuits.
The EasyPat must only be used in conditions and for the purpose which it
has been constructed. Attention should be paid to safety instructions,
technical specifications and use of the EasyPat in dry surroundings.
Always inspect your meter, test leads and accessories for any sign of
damage before use. If any abnormal conditions exist (e.g: broken test leads,
cracked case, display not reading, etc.), do not attempt to use it. Do not
expose it to direct sunlight, excessive temperature or moisture.

1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 Description
The Martindale EasyPat is an LCD indicating portable appliance tester, which is
housed in a rugged injection moulded case with a removable lid. The base of the
case contains the complete power and electronic circuitry. Basic safety
instructions are presented on the inside of the lid, and a pannier bag, which
provides storage for the flash gun, supply adaptors and comprehensive instruction
manual, clips onto the top of the lid.
Operation of the Martindale EasyPat is straightforward. The five main tests,
continuity, insulation, run current, run leakage and flash, provided by this
instrument are selected by depressing one of five push-button switches on the
front panel. A three position rocker switch selects a test current of 200mA DC, 8A
AC or 25A AC for the continuity test. While the key is depressed the relevant
measurement is displayed on the large, custom LCD Display.
The Martindale EasyPat allows fast, simple testing on all tools, appliances and IT
equipment in accordance with the recommendations of the Electricity At Work Act,
the Health And Safety Executive and the Electronic And Business Equipment
Association. It should be noted that Class I equipment is earthed whereas Class II
equipment is not earthed (double-insulated), usually denoted by the symbol
