  • Page 13: Preparation Before A Measurement

    5. Preparation before a measurement 5. 1 Visual inspection Before starting a measurement, user should undertake visual checks on the mains cord, case and that the correct type and rated fuse is fitted to the DUT. And also there should be no evidence of damage of a nature that may impair the electrical safety of the item.

    6.2 Double Insulation Test The Class 2 appliances have the indication of "DOUBLE INSULATION" or the symbol of . Double insulation test is to check the insulation resistance of the appliances is within the range defined in the standards. Fig.13 (1) Power on the DUT (2) Connect Test Lead M-7129 to Rpe terminal and clip the metal part of DUT with alligator clip.
  • Page 19: Extension Leads Test

    CAUTION !  ● When the terminal is open or the resistance value exceeds measuring range, "OL" mark (over range display) appears on the LCD. ● Do not touch the device under test while testing is in progress. Since a high voltage of 500V, user may get electrical shock. 6.3 Extension Leads Test This test is for extension leads, and check: *...
