4-3 Connections For RCD Testing TEST P - E P - N X1/2 0° 180° V. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS To ensure safe and proper use of this instrument, the following instruction must be followed : 5-1 Warning-initial checks to be carried out before any testing a).
b). Before pressing the test button, always check the mains status LED’s for the following sequence : P-E Green LED must be NO P-N Green LED must be NO Red LED must be OFF If the above sequence is not displayed or the Red LED is ON for any reason, do not proceed as there may be incorrect wiring.
5-3 Testing No Trip Test (x1/2) ( 0 x 1/2 0, buttons 3 and 4 not illuminated ) a). The No Trip Test is designed to ensure that the circuit breaker is operating within its specifications and is not too sensitive. b).
5-4 Trip Test (x1) ( x 1 0, only button 4 illuminated ) a). Select the ×1 test tripping current. b). Press the test button. The RCD should trip and the tripping time will be displayed on the instrument LCD in mS.

e). Press and release the Test button. The breaker should trip. f). Reset the breaker. Change the phase angle switch to the 180 position and press the Test button. g). The trip times of the last two measurements should both be less than 40 ms. If the tripping times are greater than 40 ms the RCD may be faulty and must be re-checked.
