Who should be testing socket outlets?Basically anyone who wants to know the mains socketabout to be used is correctly wired and safe to plug into.In particular those with a responsibility of care for theirown homes, employees and the public.• Home owners• Land lords• Local authorities• Police forces• Hospitals, including home visits• Schools and colleges• Sports facilities• Military housing and education• IT managers• Heads of department• Health and Safety officersLoopcheck 107Advanced sockettester with loopfunctionYour guide to easySocket Outlet Testingand instructions for use of:BS EN61010-1CautionBefore use check the socket tester's case and pins forany signs of damage.Do not use if the case is broken or damaged. To checkthe correct functioning of the socket tester, plug it intoa known correctly-wired live 13A socket.To clean the tester use only a soft dry cloth.This unit is maintenance free and contains no userserviceable components. In the unlikely event that thisunit malfunctions, it should be withdrawn from serviceand returned to Kewtech.This tester must not be used in a manner not specifiedby Kewtech.Good work practiceUse of a Socket Tester will be seen to show aresponsible attitude to electrical safety, plus the veryreasonable price of Kewtech testers means they place acost effective solution in the hands of many more usersat the front end of responsibility and care.kewtechcorp.comThe simple solution for testingsocket outletsLogical ‘Greenfor Go’Bright, easy to readLEDsClear audibleindicationError free testingWhat a Kewtech tester WILLtell youThe Loopcheck 107 is unique in that it is the onlysocket tester that carries out a loop test at mainsfrequency to check the actual condition of the wiring.Particular emphasis is placed on detecting verydangerous wiring conditions such as reversed line(live) earth connections, disconnected wires and highearth values.What a Kewtech tester will NOTtell youKewtech socket testers are for simple first linediagnosis for use by those with and without electricalskills. If a problem at the socket is shown it shouldimmediately be investigated by a suitably qualifiedelectrician or contractor recognised by organisationssuch as:NAPIT (www.napit.org.uk)NICEIC (www.niceic.com)ECA (www.eca.co.uk)ECA of Scotland (www.select.org.uk)STROMA (www.stroma.com)Product features• Bright, durable LEDs out-perform fragile, lowvisibility neons• Patented ‘Fault Locate’ shows actual position ofPin – Line (Live), Neutral or Earth• Unique new Earth Loop Test• Tough, smooth-contoured construction• Rubber overmould tactile case• Advanced electronic circuits mean positive andreliable indication• Modern production methods ensure greatperformance and value• Audible signal gives additional information• Microprocessor control with built-in self check230V 13 amp BS 1363 Socket Testers withself-check and patented ‘Fault Locate’ plusEarth check• First Socket Tester to indicate actual fault location– Line (live), Neutral or Earth• Unique earth loop test at mains frequency tocheck the actual condition of the wiring• Built-in automatic visible self-check ensures totalconfidence in correct functioning at all times• Tri-coloured LEDs (green, red, orange) give clearand positive indication of Good wiring plus17 possible fault conditions• Mains polarity check• 30mA RCD checkThis is an example ofthe Earth Loop Testshowing green – good,less than 1.8Ω.This is an example of‘Fault Locate’ showingline (live), neutral,reverse. LEDs flash redplus warble tone.SpecificationsSocket wiring checkThree green LEDs and a continuous tone indicate that thesocket is correctly wired. Earth, Line (Live) and neutralare all in the correct position. Any other indication, suchas open circuit or swapped connections, is shown byan orange or red LED accompanied by a warble tone.The socket is incorrectly wired and all further tests areinhibited.Note: Like all socket (and other similar) testers a neutral– earth swap cannot be detected unless the distributionboard is fitted with an RCD in which case the RCD will trip.Socket condition checkThis is carried out by injecting a loop impedance testcurrent between line (live) and neutral and also betweenneutral and earth. If during the pre-test there is anindication the earthed metal work could raise to touchvoltage of greater than 25V the test is inhibited.Mains Polarity testThis is a capacitively coupled pad. The user is the earthreference point for true earth.This test is used to indicate that there is not a line (live)neutral swap of the mains supply at the supply entry pointto the premises.RCD test (30mA RCD only)Operation of the test switch injects a test current of30mA Line (Live) to earth to provide an operational checkfor the RCD. The test current is restricted to 300ms.The result is shown by one of three LEDs. Rating 230V. Input current: <18mA (L–E <7mA)Frequency: 50Hz.Suitable for use in environmental conditions:Temperature 0–40˚CHumidity: <95% non-condensingThis tester is not intended for continuous use – do notleave connected in a socket for longer than 2 minutes.Indication LED ToneGood Green ContinuousCheck Amber WarbleUrgent Check Red Warble
