Product Usage Instructions
Note: Performing point to point testing with the Apollo 500+ requires the person conducting the test to have knowledge and experience in implementing safe isolation procedures prior to testing. Please ensure you are familiar with the necessary safety precautions and have the required training before attempting point to point testing.
Step 1: Prepare the Apollo 500+
- Ensure the Apollo 500+ is powered on and connected to a reliable power source.
- Perform a self-test to ensure the device is functioning properly.
- Check that all necessary accessories and cables are properly connected to the Apollo 500+.
Step 2: Implement Safe Isolation
Before conducting point to point testing, it is essential to implement safe
isolation procedures to protect yourself and the equipment being tested.
Follow these steps:
- Identify the electrical circuit or equipment that needs to be tested.
- Switch off the power supply to the circuit or equipment.
- Lock out the power supply if possible to prevent accidental re-energization.
- Use appropriate lockout/tagout devices to secure the power supply.
- Verify that the circuit or equipment is de-energized using a suitable voltage detector.
Step 3: Perform Point to Point Testing
Once safe isolation has been implemented, you can proceed with point to point
testing using the Apollo 500+. Follow these steps:
- Select the appropriate test procedure on the Apollo 500+ for the specific type of point to point test you want to perform.
- Connect the test leads of the Apollo 500+ to the relevant points in the circuit or equipment being tested.
- Follow the on-screen instructions of the Apollo 500+ to perform the test.
- Record and analyze the test results displayed on the Apollo 500+.
FAQ
- Q: Where can I find comprehensive instructions for point to point testing with the Apollo 500+?
A: We do not have a comprehensive set of instructions for point to point testing as it relies on the person performing the test to be able to implement safe isolation prior to testing. If you require more help or have specific questions, please contact us at https://www.seaward.com/gb/enquire/.
Point To Point Testing
How to do point to point testing with the Apollo 500+?
Note: we do not have a comprehensive set of instructions for this as it
relies on the person performing the test to be able to implement safe
isolation prior to testing.
However, the following general instructions should be of help:
- Perform safe isolation of appliance.
- Prove dead.
- Null the Apollo test leads in manual mode. There is a video on our website (see below).
- Connect the Apollo via the 2 test leads as per one of the attached drawings. At this point if voltage is detected on the circuit the Apollo will read ‘External Voltage Detected’ and refuse to go ahead with the test. If so, you will need to ensure it is properly isolated and prove dead again.
- Start the test either using the test sequence or the manual test function. DO NOT start the test before the probes are connected to the circuit. To perform an insulation resistance test the process is very similar.
Note: we do not advise on how to perform the test as this relies on the person performing the test been able to implement safe isolation prior to testing.
