2. Performing a Loop No Trip Test:

• Select the Loop No Trip function.
• Ensure the correct connections (L-PE) are made.
• Initiate the test. The tester will display readings such as Z I-pe (Loop impedance), PEFC Ik (Prospective Earth Fault Current), and voltage (Vac).
• Example readings: 1.41 Ω, PEFC Ik: 161 A, Vac: 227.7 V.

3. Performing Other Tests:

• Select other functions like Loop Trip, Insulation Resistance (RISO), or Voltage (Vac).
• Configure test parameters such as limits and modes (e.g., ZERO Mode).
• The tester displays relevant measurements like Z I-n, PSC Ik, and voltage readings.
• Example readings: Z I-n: 1.33 Ω, PSC Ik: 171 A, Vac: 227.7 V.
