  • Page 4: Safety Warning

    Safety Warning When using any electrical appliance SAFETY must always be observed. Testing appliances is no exception and in fact MORE care must be taken to ensure personal safety is met. Although the TnT range of products has been designed to meet stringent requirements, no person can be completely protected against the consequences of the incorrect use of an electrical device.

  • Page 6: Competent Person

    Competent Person To ensure that all electrical equipment or devices that are used to perform specific tasks, are inspected and tested and tagged correctly, regulations require that a competent person such as a Licensed Electrician be employed to perform the required tests. A person competent to undertake Inspection and Testing of electrical equipment must therefore have: 1.
  • Page 7: Technical Information Class 1 (Earthed Appliance) Construction

    Technical Information CLASS 1 (Earthed Appliance) CONSTRUCTION (Single basic insulated and protectively earthed equipment) This type of product design provides two safety barriers between all live conductors at dangerous voltages and the equipment user. The provision of basic insulation between exposed metal parts and live parts is the first barrier to provide basic protection against electric shock.
  • Page 8: Class 2 (D/Insulated) Construction

    Technical Information Continued CLASS 2 (Double Insulated) CONSTRUCTION (Double insulated equipment) This method of construction employs two safety barriers comprising two layers of insulation between dangerous voltages and the user of the equipment. The first layer of insulation is formed around the live conductor and is termed ‘the Functional Insulation’.
  • Page 9: Testing Of Electrical Equipment

    Technical Information Continued Testing of Electrical Equipment Many testing personnel have some reservations in testing sensitive, electronic equipment using a 500V DC insulation test. There is a perceived fear of causing internal damage from over voltage. With the introduction on the TnT Range of appliance testers, these concerns are alleviated.
  • Page 10: To Change Test Voltage (250/500Vdc Select)

    Technical Information Continued Testing of Electrical Equipment 3 Phase Testing: 3 Phase appliances can be tested by the TnT, TnT-el, TnT+ or the TnT-3PL appliance tester. This test is carried out by using the adaptor connection sockets. As the insulation tests are from Phase to Earth, only a 500V insulation test is required.
  • Page 11: Supply Mains Test

    Integrated Tests Information SUPPLY MAINS TEST The Supply Mains TEST checks the Polarity & Connectivity of the mains supply by LED’s (see below). This test is also a part of all of the testing functions of this unit. A-N, A-E If the N-E (red) light is on and you need to conduct load/leakage tests N - E DO NOT CONTINUE.
  • Page 12: Ncnt Test

    Integrated Tests Information NCNT TEST (No Connection No Test) The TnT appliance tester ensures that the Device Under Test (DUT) is plugged in and switched on. This test is also a part of all of the testing functions of this unit. This test function ensures that the Device Under Test (DUT) is plugged into the TnT appliance tester and that it is switched on.
  • Page 13: Visual Inspection Test

    Visual Inspection (FIRST TEST) Information THIS TEST IS TO OCCUR BEFORE ANY OTHER TEST IS CARRIED OUT USING ANY OF THE RANGE OF TnT APPLIANCE TESTERS. In regard to the Device Under Test (DUT), please ensure that; 1. There is no damage or component defect to the accessories, plugs, outlet sockets or connectors (physical).
