Hi there, 2 questions using my Seaward Apollo 500:
1- my radio connection between guitar and amplifier has a separate PSU, so is class 3? Should I simply PAT this as class 2?
2- my bass combo amp is a pretty new Ashdown Studio 15 which does not have any class marking (apart from RoHS CE) so has to be class 1? But this device fails earth continuity and I don't believe it is manufactured to earth the exposed metal parts. Can I ignore this test? If so, for what reason?
Thank you.
I suspect that “test 102” refers to one of the standard tests on something like a SEWARD PAT tester. We have a SEAWARD HAL which is basically a bench mounted PAT machine which is intended for doing end-of-line production tests. It has a series of pre-defined test sequences & associated pass/fail levels. I suspect that the OEM has simply quoted the standard test number that he uses for that product.
Yes. From memory I think the Robin Smartpats have standard programs 101, 102 etc

102 Class 1 visual check, 26A earth bond, fuse continuity, insulation, flash test, load test, earth leakage.
Of course, it might be a different instrument they have.
