Caution We strongly advise reading and understanding this guide before the instrument is used. In particular note the safety issues that follow:- Your tester is for use on dead circuits only. Although your Socket & See instrument is fully protected against accidental connection to a live circuit it always pays to check the circuit is dead before working on it.

Batteries Because of storage isssues your DIT 400 is not supplied with batteries. ALWAYS REMOVE THE TEST LEADS BEFORE REPLACING BATTERIES. Just 4 AA cells are required (alkaline recommended). The battery compartment is at the the back of the instrument, remove the screw (do not lose it) - slide the battery cover off and carefully insert batteries observing correct ploarity.
Operation Overview If you are experienced in using insulation and continuity testers your DIT 400 will power up and default to a mode you are totally familiar with (we call it ’CERT’ - Certification mode). If you are experienced we suggest you use this mode (the tester will always default to this mode when you power up) for the first few jobs to familiarise yourself with how quickly your Socket &...
