Seaward Apollo 500 - Manual (Page 16)

On Test
Failure In the event of a test failure during an automatic
sequence, the Apollo 500 can be configured to either
End Test, which will terminate the test sequence or
present a Fail Menu, which will provide the following list
of options:
restart the test
skip the test
restart the test sequence (from the first test)
abort the test sequence (without saving any
results
end the test sequence (and record a fail result)
Note: Restart Test is useful for coping with
situations such as forgetting to connect the
earth continuity probe.
End Test Sequence will record a Fail result
whereas Abort Test Sequence does not record
a result.
After Test There is a choice of 3 actions to be carried out at the
end of a test sequence.
New Test will auto save at the end of a test sequence
and then open the Asset Details window ready for a
new test.
Print Label will auto save at the end of a test
sequence and then open the Print Label window. When
printing is complete, the tester will proceed to the next
test and open the Asset Details window.
Options Menu will auto save at the end of a test
sequence and then open the Test Details window.
Pressing (F4) will proceed to the Test Result Options
window with a list of options including View Results,
View Test Sequence, Information, Print Test Results or
Print Label. Pressing Escape (F5) will return to the
Asset Detail window ready to start the next appliance.
Earth
Result This field can set to “Last” where the last reading taken
during the measurement period is compared with the
pass/fail limit or “Worst” where the highest reading
taken during the measurement period is compared wit
the pass/fail limit.
Setting the field to “Worst” will cause the earth
continuity test to fail if the reading exceeds the limit
value at any point during the measurement period, for
example if there is a momentary break in the protective
conductor when the mains cable is flexed.
Earth
reverse This field is used to enable or disable automatic
reversal of the earth continuity test current polarity.
OFF sets the earth continuity test current to +200mA
and ON sets the earth continuity test current to
+200mA followed by -200mA.
Sub Lkg
Factor
This field is used to set the substitute leakage scale
factor to 0%, 6% or 10%. The Substitute Leakage
reading is then calculated for 230V (0%), 244V (6%) or
253V (10%).
Comments
Can be set to open the comment window: always (after
every test sequence), if the test result is a pass, if the
test result is a fail or never.
New
Comments
This field can be set to Clear where previous comments
are removed from the comments fields or Same as Last
where the previous remain in the comments fields. This
can be useful when performing repeated tests on the
same type of appliance.
