Spark-e-Mate Circuit Testing Equipment, Leads

A Quick how to video to show changing the mode on the Spark-e-Mate 493BTLi unit to Safe Mode, Super Safe Mode, Turbo Mode and then back to Normal mode. An explanation of each of the modes is also included and how these influence the tripping of RCDs during the Fault Loop or Earth Continuity testing. This video then shows how to disable the Desensitisation routine on the Fault Loop and Earth Continuity tests which can cause RCD tripping in some cases.

Spark-e-Log does not have the ability to determine what values are passes or failures. This determination should be made by the qualified person doing the tests. You can select within the settings of Spark-e-Log if you wish to have the results default to failure or pass. If set to failure you will need to change them all to passes if the values tested are correct otherwise if set to pass you will still need to confirm the values obtained during testing are a pass or fail and will need to change those that fail to fail.

Before you think about where to put them, first consider which devices you’re using regularly and how you’re using them, and where.

Traditional power points are often hidden behind furniture and other hard-to-reach locations which is not ideal for device charging.

Consider:

1. Using the Clipsal Iconic Triple USB Charging Station that has a smart shelf to rest your device on – perfect for kitchen benches, near the couch or in the study.
2. Installing them in light switches – a very accessible location for beside the bed.

Think realistically about where you want – or don’t want – to use your devices while they’re charging.
