FAQs

What does the LED indicator mean?

The LEDs indicate socket wiring status (correct, reversed polarity, missing earth, etc.). Refer to the included user guide for the specific LED meanings.

How do I test an RCD?

Plug the tester into the socket and press the RCD test button. The RCD should trip within the specified time.

Is the tester suitable for outdoor use?

The tester is not specifically designed for outdoor use. Avoid using it in wet conditions.

How often should I test my sockets?

Regular testing, especially of RCDs, is recommended for safety. As a minimum, test before using a socket for the first time.

Can this tester be used on different voltage outlets?

This tester is designed for 230V, 13A sockets. Do not use it on outlets of different voltages or amperage.

What should I do if the tester indicates a fault?

Immediately stop using the socket and consult a qualified electrician to rectify the issue.

Troubleshooting

Tester does not light up or beep when plugged in.

Check the power supply to the socket. Ensure the socket is switched on. If other devices work, the tester may be faulty.

The tester indicates a fault when the wiring seems correct.

Verify the socket wiring with a separate known-good tester or consult an electrician.

RCD test fails.

Check the RCD circuit breaker. If the issue persists, the RCD may need replacing or further inspection.
