Overload protection The continuity test circuit is protected by a 0.5 A 600 V fast acting(HRC) ceramic fuse mounted in the battery compartment, where a spare fuse is also stored. The insulation resistance test circuit is protected by a resistor against 600 V AC for 10 seconds.

Connect the test leads to the circuit whose resistance is required(see Fig 3)HAVING FIRST MADE SURE THAT THE CIRCUIT IS NOT LIVE. Note that the live circuit warning lamp will illuminate if the circuit is live-but check first anyway! 4.Press the test button and read the circuit resistance from the display.
  • Page 13: 5.Insulation Tests

    This charge must be removed from the system at the end of the test, a function which is automatically performed by Model 6010A. If an alternating voltage is applied between the conductors, the system continuously charges and discharges as the applied voltage alternates, so that there is a continuous alternating leakage current flowing to the system.
  • Page 14: 5. 1. 3 Conduction Current

    Fig 4 5. 1. 3 Conduction Current Since the insulation resistance is not infinite, a small leakage current flows through the insulation between conductors. Since Ohm's Law applies, the leakage current can be calculated from   applied voltage (V) Leakage current (μA) = insulation resistance (MΩ) Fig 5 5....

    The system is charged to the full test voltage, and will be dangerous if left with this charge. Model 6010A provides an automatic path for discharging current as soon as the test button is released to ensure that the circuit under test is safely discharged.

  • Page 17   Fig 7 4. If the mains warning lamp lights and/or the buzzer sounds DO NOT PRESS THE TEST BUTTON but disconnect the instrument from the circuit. Make the circuit dead before proceeding. Fig 8 5. Press the test button when the display will show the insulation resistance of the circuit or the appliance to which the instrument is connected.
  • Page 18 7. When testing is complete release the test button BEFORE disconnecting the test leads from the circuit or from the appliance. This will ensure that the charge built up by the circuit or the appliance during insulation test is dissipated in the discharge circuit. In the discharging process, an LED illuminates and the live circuit warning buzzer will sound.
  • Page 19: 6. Loop Impedance Tests

    ○ Even though the test current in the 2000 ohm range (15mA test current) is low some RCD's may trip due to sensitivity or where there may already be additional leakage in the circuit being tested. ○ The Loop impedance in a TN system is small and therefore it is not recommended to test in the 2000 ohm range.
  • Page 20: 6. 4  The Loop Impedance Test

    1.Press the test button once. Then, the instrument switches on. 2.Set the instrument to loop test 20Ωrange. 3. If testing sockets, connect the plug lead to the Model 6010A and push the moulded plug into the socket to be tested (see Fig 9).

    which the instrument performs the loop test. This may result in the RCD not tripping out. If the RCD still trips, temporarily replace it with a suitably rated MCB for the duration of the test. 9. If the instrument measures greater than 20Ωthe over-range symbol“OL” will be displayed.

RCD TESTS DISCONNECT THE INSTRUMENT FROM THE CIRCUIT UNDER TEST BEFORE OPERATING THE FUNCTION SWITCH TO SELECT THE RCD TEST RANGE SELECT“RCD” 7.1 Purpose of the RCD test The RCD must be tested to ensure that operation takes place quickly enough to ensure that there is unlikely to be serious danger to a person experiencing an electric shock from the system.

    10. Set the function switch to X1 for the“trip”test, which measures the time taken for the RCD to trip with the set residual current. 11.Set the "LOOP/RCD" switch to 0° 12. Make sure that the P-E and P-N wiring check lamps are lit. If they are not, disconnect the tester and check the wiring for a possible fault.

    11. SERVICING If this tester should fail to operate correctly, return it to your distributor stating the exact nature of the fault. Before returning the instrument ensure that:- 1.The leads have been checked for continuity and signs of damage. 2. The continuity mode fuse (situated in the battery compartment) has been checked.
