3.0 - SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Warnings – Please read and follow the following:
Before using the instrument, test leads and / or the adaptors please ensure there are no signs of damage
as this could result in electrical shock and / or inaccurate results.

 Once the battery indicator appears, please either use the mains adapter or replace the batteries. As

low battery level can produce inaccurate results.

 Do not use / store the instrument in high temperature, humid, flammable, or electromagnetic

environments as this could result in injury, damage to the instrument and / or inaccurate results.

 If the instrument / equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the protection

provided by the instrument may be impaired.

 Do not connect test leads to live systems or hazardous voltages unless stated within the manual.
 Do not touch any exposed test terminals during testing, as hazardous voltages may be present due

to a faulty appliance / lead.

5.0 OPERATION OF INSTRUMENT

5.1 POWER ON / OFF

Press the power button to switch the instrument on, the instrument will then load internal configuration
data “Start” will be displayed on the bottom right corner.

The process will take 30-60 seconds, a notification tone will indicate when the configuration is completed.

5.2 CALIBRATION

The test leads / cables will require calibrating, either when using the test leads / cables for the 1st time or
when replacing the test leads / cables. (The calibration process will compensate for the test lead / cable
resistance when conducting Earth Bond / Continuity measurements).

Calibrating the Earth Bond (Class I) Test Lead
Insert the Earth Bond lead into the input terminal (2)
Using the probe supplied, insert the probe into the earth pin of the

output socket.
Whilst the instrument is switched on Press and hold the and

keys together until the calibration interface is displayed, then press the A ( )
key this will then perform the lead calibration adjustment, press the ESC button to
exit the calibration interface.

11

Calibrating the IEC / Cord Earth Lead Resistance

Insert the plug of the IEC lead supplied into the output socket
and the IEC socket into the input socket as shown.

Whilst the instrument is switched on Press and hold the
and keys together unit the calibration interface is displayed, then press the key to calibrate the
IEC lead’s resistance , press the ESC button once the process has been completed.

5.3 INSULATION RESISTANCE TEST VOLTAGE / APPLIANCE VOLTAGE SETTINGS.

The insulation resistance test voltage and working test voltage 110V / 230V (Sub leakage calculation) can
be changed, to suit the appliance to be tested.

Changing the Insulation resistance test voltage

Whilst the instrument is switched on press the and together until the voltage interface is
displayed. Using the enter button ( ) select Insulation the output voltage can then be changed using the
up and down arrow keys, using the enter key ( ) to confirm the required output voltage.

Changing the Leakage Voltage

Whilst the instrument is switched on press the and together until the voltage interface is
displayed. Press the down arrow key and select leakage using the enter key.
The leakage voltage can then be changed between 110V & 230V modes using the up and down arrow
keys, use the enter key ( ) to confirm the voltage setting required.

12

5.4 CLASS I TEST

Connect the appliance to be tested to the TIS700, using the cord / lead
supplied.
Insert the Earth Bond lead into the input terminal (2) then connect the lead to
a conductive part of the Class I appliance.
Once ensuring a good connection press the test button to start the
measurement process:

Earth Bond Resistance Measurement
If the measured resistance is greater than 25Ω to instrument will stop the test
sequence, the buzzer will sound and ground icon will be shown to indicate either an incorrect connection or
insufficient earth. Once a sufficient earth has been found the measurement will continue and the resistance
will be displayed.

Insulation Resistance Measurement

If the TIS700 detects an insufficient load capacity a “Lo Load” error indication may be displayed.

Either switch the appliance on (press and hold the switch of the appliance) or press the key to
continue with the insulation resistance measurement.

Leakage Measurement

If the TIS700 detects an insufficient load capacity a “Lo Load” error indication may be displayed.
Either switch the appliance on (press and hold the switch of the appliance) or press the key to
continue with the leakage measurement.

13

Once the test sequence has been completed the appliance details and results can be stored.
Use the “MEM” to confirm and save the information or use the “ESC” button to discard the results.

5.5 CLASS II TEST

Connect the appliance to be tested using lead / cord supplied.
Press the test button to start the measurement process.
Insulation Resistance Measurement

If the TIS700 detects an insufficient load capacity a “Lo Load” error

indication may be displayed.
Either switch the appliance on (press and hold the switch of
the appliance) or press the key to continue with the insulation
resistance measurement.

Leakage Measurement

If the TIS700 detects an insufficient load capacity a “Lo Load” error indication may be displayed.
Either switch the appliance on (press and hold the switch of the appliance) or press the key to
continue with the leakage measurement.

Once the test sequence has been completed the appliance details and results can be stored.
Use the “MEM” to confirm and save the information or use the “ESC” button to discard the results.

14

5.6 CORD / EXTENSION LEAD TEST

Testing Cord / IEC leads – Connect the plug to the output socket and the other end into the IEC input
socket. (Additional lead accessories / adaptors may be needed to connect to the IEC input socket).

Testing extension leads – Connect the plug of the extension lead into the output socket, then use a
calibrated IEC lead to plug into the extension and IEC input socket.

Earth Bond / Continuity Measurement

If the connection is incorrect or the resistance is greater than 25Ω the buzzer will
sound and a ground icon will be displayed.
Once a sufficient earth has been found the measurement will continue and the
resistance will be displayed.

Insulation Resistance Measurement

If the extension lead to be tested has anti-surge technology the insulation
resistance test voltage will have to be reduced to 250V to ensure measurement
accuracy. Refer to section 5.3 to change the test voltage.

Polarity Test
This measurement will indicate either correct polarity, Open Circuit, Short Circuit or Reversed polarity error
messages.
Once the test sequence has been completed the appliance details and results can be stored.
Use the “MEM” to confirm and save the information or use the “ESC” button to discard the results.

15

5.7 SOCKET / POLARITY TEST

Connect the IEC lead supplied to the TIS700 by the IEC input socket,
then connect the plug to the socket to be tested.
Switch the socket under test on, the TIS700 will then automatically
perform the test.
Test Indications:

Correct Polarity Indication - LN, LE, NE
Live Fault Indication - LN, LE, NE
Neutral Fault Indication - LN, LE, NE Earth
Ground Fault Indication - LN, LE, NE

Please note all other functions / operations will be disabled during the live socket / polarity test function.
Normal operation of the instrument will continue once mains voltage is no longer detected.
