1 Safety

PAT-810/815/820 testers are designed for performing check tests on electrical equipment, provid-

ing measurement results which determine the safety status of tested devices. Therefore, in order to

provide conditions for correct operation and the correctness of the obtained results, the following rec-

ommendations must be applied:

Before you commence operating the tester, acquaint yourself thoroughly with the present manual

and observe the safety regulations and specifications determined by the manufacturer.

Any application that differs from those specified in the present manual may result in a damage to

the device and constitute a source of danger for the user.

PAT-810/815/820 testers must be operated only by appropriately qualified personnel. Operating

the tester by unauthorised personnel may result in damage to the device and constitute a source

of danger for the user.

Using this manual does not exclude the need to comply with occupational health and safety regu-

lations and with other relevant fire regulations required during the performance of a particular type

of work. Before starting the work with the device in special environments, e.g. potentially fire-

risk/explosive environment, it is necessary to consult it with the person responsible for health and

safety.

It is forbidden to operate the following:

A damaged tester which is completely or partially out of order,

A tester with damaged test leads insulation,

A tester stored for an excessive period of time in disadvantageous conditions (e.g. excessive

humidity). If the tester has been transferred from a cool to a warm environment with a high-

level of relative humidity, do not start measurements until the tester is warmed up to the am-

bient temperature (approximately 30 minutes).

The tester may be powered only from grounded mains sockets.

Before starting any measurement, make sure the test leads are connected to the proper test

sockets.

Do not touch the tested device during measurements.

Test sockets and the socket for testing IEC cables are protected against improper connection to

the voltage up to 300V AC for 60 seconds.

Repairs may be carried out only by an authorised service point.

NOTE!

Only standard and additional accessories for a given device should be used, as listed

in the "Equipment" section. Use of different accessories can lead to errors in the test

connection and can introduce additional measurement uncertainties.

NOTE:

Due to continuous development of the tester’s software, the actual appearance of the

display, in case of some of the functions, may slightly differ from the display presented

in this operating manual.

OPERATING MANUAL PAT-810/815/820 version 1.06

Note:

An attempt to install drivers in 64-bit Windows 8 may result in displaying "Installation

failed" message.

Cause: Windows 8 by default blocks drivers without a digital signature.

Solution: Disable the driver signature enforcement in Windows.

2 General description and features of the instrument

3 Switching on and Main Menu

3.1 Power supply

The device is 195 V…265 V, 50 Hz mains powered.

Two 15A fuses protect L and N lines from the supply socket to the test socket, they are tripped

when current consumption from the test socket is too high (>16A).

500mA fuse protects 200mA current controller for RPE measurement.

3.2 Start test after switching the tester on

After switching on, the tester performs a self-test to check its correct operational condition and

when this test is successfully completed, the tester automatically performs the following measure-

ments:

measurement of the voltage in the power supply socket, i.e. the voltage between L and N of

power supply to the tester,

measurement of mains frequency,

checking the continuity PE in the power supply socket,

measuring the voltage between N and PE in the power supply socket,

indicates swapped L and N terminals (icon on the screen).

Upon completing above mentioned measurements main Menu screen is displayed as below,

along with the results of the measurements:
