4. Instruccions de funcionament

4.1. Voltage Prova

Insert the tester into a standard three-hole power outlet. The socket voltage value will be displayed on the tester's LCD screen in Volts (V).

• The test duration should not exceed 5 minutes.
• Exercise caution to avoid touching the RCD button during voltage testing to prevent accidental tripping of the leakage protection switch.

4.2. RCD (or GFCI) Test

Insert the tester into a correctly wired three-hole power socket. Press the RCD/GFCI test button for less than 3 seconds. A properly functioning RCD/GFCI should trip (turn off the power) at this time. If the RCD/GFCI does not trip, it indicates a failure and requires professional electrician maintenance.

• The test duration should not exceed 5 minutes.
• RCD and GFCI functions cannot be used simultaneously.

4.3. Wiring Status Detection

The HT106B Socket Tester uses a series of indicator lights to quickly identify the wiring status of the socket. Refer to the functional control table and indicator results below to interpret the findings.

Note: This tester cannot distinguish between neutral line and ground wire reverse.

5. Manteniment

Neteja

Clean the tester with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or other chemicals, as they may damage the device. Ensure the tester is completely dry before its next use.

6. Solució De Problemes

• RCD/GFCI does not trip during test: This indicates that the RCD/GFCI has failed. Immediately contact a professional electrician for inspection and repair.
• Wiring fault detected (e.g., Open Ground, Live/GRD Reverse): If the tester indicates a wrong connection, consult a professional electrician to repair the wiring. Do not attempt to fix faulty wiring yourself unless you are qualified.
