SAFETY INFORMATION: Always read before proceeding.

WARNING

These instructions contain information and warnings that are necessary forsafe operation and maintenance of the EasyPat. It is recommended that you

read the instructions carefully and ensure the contents are understood.Failure to understand the instructions and comply with warnings andinstructions herein can result in serious injury, damage or even death.

In order to avoid the danger of electrical shock, it is important that propersafety measures are taken when working with voltages exceeding 30V ACrms, 42V AC peak or 60V DC. Never exceed the maximum allowable inputlevel for each function and range. Refer to the specifications for maximuminputs. Never touch exposed wiring, connections or live circuits.

The EasyPat must only be used in conditions and for the purpose which ithas been constructed. Attention should be paid to safety instructions,technical specifications and use of the EastPat in dry surroundings.

Always inspect your meter, test leads and accessories for any sign ofdamage before use. If any abnormal conditions exist (e.g: broken test leads,cracked case, display not reading, etc.), do not attempt to use it. Do not

expose it to direct sunlight, excessive temperature or moisture.

Keep these instructions for future reference. Updated instructions andproduct information are available at: www.martindale-electric.co.uk

Fig. 2 Display of reading (1.00)

The instrument can be connected to a 230V supply and can test 230V or 110V

appliances.

Appliances to be tested should be connected into the appropriate test socket. If the

appliance has an on/off switch, it should be set to the on position to ensure that theappliance is fully tested.

If the value for the measured parameter is outside the range of the EasyPat 1600

then the display will show overrange. This is indicated on the display by a single 1.

with no following zeros (blank). Figure 3 shows the earth continuity display if the

measured value is greater than 1.99.

Fig. 3 Overrange Indication

NB

On the earth bond tests, overrange means above 1.99 and is a fail.

On the insulation test it means above 19.9M and is a pass.On the fuse test it means the appliance is drawing more than a few mA andis a pass.

3.5 Lead Test

Ensure the earth wander lead is connected to the EasyPat. The crocodile clip

however should not be used and must not be connected to the lead under test

nor any earth path.

For IEC LeadsPlug the lead into the appropriate EasyPat mains socket. Plug the IEC connector

into the EasyPat IEC socket.

For Extension Leads

Plug the lead into the appropriate EasyPat mains socket. Use the short 230V IEC

lead EX-332 (or optional 110V LEAD EX-331) to connect the extension lead

outlet to the EasyPat IEC socket.

Perform earth continuity and insulation tests as 3.1 & 3.3.

If earth and insulation tests have successfully passed, unplug the lead under test

from the EasyPat 1600 mains socket, leaving the IEC connector plugged into the

lead tester. Connect the lead under test to a live mains socket. Check the

illumination of Lamp 1 & Lamp 2 against the table printed on the EasyPat front

panel.
