3.3.2. Loop Test

If the wiring is correct and the supply voltage of the circuit under
test is between 195V and 270V the lower indicators will all indicate
green and one of the top indicators marked LOOP TEST will
indicate the range into which the measured earth loop impedance
falls.
For example if the top centre indicator is green then the measured
earth loop impedance of the circuit under test is between 1.7Ω and
5Ω, or if the top left-hand indicator is red then the measured earth
loop impedance is between 10Ω and 100Ω.
Refer to the latest edition of the IET Wiring Regulations (BS 7671),
to determine if the indicated earth loop impedance of the wiring
under test meets the necessary requirements.
