3–2 Initialization and Self-Test

Every time the Test Kit is turned on, it performs a self-test
of all major functions before tests can begin. These
functions include:

• Keyboard
• Read-only memory (ROM) to verify program

integrity

• Random-access memory (RAM)
• Battery

If all functions pass the self-test, the following message
appears on the display:

.

Testkit Okay

|– MORE –|

Self-test okay display.

Press the

F1

key (identified as

MORE

) to begin Trip Unit

testing.

If any function fails the self-test, an appropriate message
appears on the display. Press

MORE

(

F1

) to display all error

messages if there are more than one.

If the RAM or ROM fails the self-test, press the

ESCAPE

key

(several times, if necessary) to repeat the self-test. If this
fails to clear the error, turn the power switch off and on. If
the error is still not cleared, refer the Test Kit to an
authorized GE service representative.

If the keyboard fails, try pressing each of the four keys in
turn to clear a possible stuck key, then press

ESCAPE

or

toggle the power switch to rerun the self-test. If the error is
still present after several attempts to clear it, refer the Test
Kit to an authorized GE service representative.

If the battery failure message appears, either replace the
batteries or power the Test Kit with the 120 Vac line cord.
If the battery failure message appears after these have been
done, refer the Test Kit to an authorized GE service
representative.

3–3 Trip Unit Type Selection

Pressing the

F1

key displays the following menu on the

Test Kit:

However, the Test Kit is not always capable of distin-
guishing among some Trip Unit types.

NOTE: Selecting the wrong type of Trip Unit (when not
detected) will cause incorrect test results.

NOTE: Une mauvaise selection du déclencheur peut
entrainer des résultats incorrects du test.
