Press the
START/STOP key once. The instrument carries out the
test injecting a current in phase with positive half wave of the
voltage indicated on
display by 0°.
Press the
START/STOP key twice. The instrument carries out the
test injecting a current in phase with negative half wave of the
voltage indicated on
display by 180°.
At the end of the test the instrument
emits a
double sound signal
indicating that the test is correctly
terminated and displays the values
alongside.

CAUTION
The measurement of Phase-PE impedance entails the following of a current
of about 6A between the above said conductors. This may cause the tripping
of magnetothermal RCDs with nominal current value lower. If necessary
effect the test upstream the RCD itself.
