EUT earthed cover. Press the Green button to activate the
test. After the test the result of the Earth Bond Test will be
displayed.

Earth Bond Limit Calculator
Earth Bond tests have an additional Fast Key; LIMIT CALC. Selecting
this enables the User to set an accurate Earth Bond Test limit by
specifying the cable parameters.
In – Situ Touch Leakage Test
The Touch Leakage Test can be performed without powering down
the EUT and plugging it into the tester power socket. The only
connection the User is required to make is to connect the Earth Bond
Test lead to the exposed metal work of the EUT and then perform the
test.
