Warning: Always test the insulation
resistance before performing a Touch
Current test.
Warning: Always check that an appliance
with moving parts (e.g. an electric drill) is
safely mounted to avoid risk of damage to
equipment or personnel.
Attention: Avoid prolonged, repeated use at
full load (16A) and excessive test duration as
this may reduce the life of the unit.

Pre-load check - If the potential load current is too
high, a warning message appears, preventing the user
from continuing. This message will be displayed if a
Live to Neutral short exists or the EUT mains current
consumption is too high.
Internal Relay checks – Before applying power to the
EUT the PrimeTest 350 performs a series of internal
safety checks to verify that internal relays are working
properly.
Once the test has started it will run for the duration set.
