Seaward Apollo 500 - Manual (Page 15)

plugged into the EUT test socket and a
connection should be made from the RCD
mains output to the IEC test socket.
Once the correct connections have been made for the selected test type press the Start button. The RCD will be powered and you will be prompted to reset the RCD. When
you have reset the RCD the Apollo 500 will count down and then perform the RCD test, the RCD trip time will be displayed. The measurement will be displayed in milli
seconds.
IEC Lead / Polarity
The IEC lead input is a test socket and is not intended to be
connected directly to mains. Do not connect this input to the
mains supply.
The Polarity test checks the wiring polarity of
an IEC lead, the IEC should be plugged into
both the EUT and IEC test sockets.
This test can be used to test the wiring polarity of extension leads by plugging the supplied test IEC lead into the end of the extension lead to complete the circuit to the IEC
tests socket.
In the automatic sequence editor the Polarity can be added to sequence. In the manual mode the polarity test is already part of a pre-defined test sequence which includes an
Earth Continuity test, an Insulation test and the Polarity test.
External Leakage Adaptors
While using an External Leakage Adaptor the mains supply will
be connected to the EUT through the adaptor.
The External Leakage Adaptor test function
is intended to used in conjunction with the
one of Seaward's external leakage adaptors.
Connect the external leakage adaptor into the
Red test terminal, connect the Earth
Continuity probe into the Black test terminal.
Connect the mains supply and the EUT to the
external leakage adaptor.
Note that connecting both the EUT and mains supply to the external leakage adaptor will connect the mains supply to the EUT.
11.4 Checkbox Verification
The Apollo 500 comes supplied with a Checkbox. This can be used to verify that the Apollo 500 test functions are working correctly. When selecting the Checkbox function
follow the onscreen instructions.
The Checkbox function will perform a number of
electrical tests. Ensure that the onscreen instructions
are followed and that you do not touch the checkbox
during the active tests.
