1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 Review
Verify that the product and the packing does not indicate
any signs of damage. If there are signs of such, please
contact your distributor immediately.
1.2 Description
The ST 007 will test the socket wiring and will indicate
exactly each of the faults in the wiring system.
The ST 007 will check existence of RCD and if the RCD is
damaged.
Note: The ST 007 does not check the earth loop
impendence which is a necessary test. To perform this
test, you should use a Loop tester device. You can find
this devise and many other testers
in our website: www.itestp.com
1.3 Health & Safety
Health and Safety regulations require that electrical
installations will be checked periodically for satisfactory
operation. The presence and quality of the wiring and of
the protective device such as RCD is crucial part of the
check. Increasingly, protective devices (RCD’s or RCBO’s)
are used for the Earth circuit, just as fuses or breakers
are used in the Live circuit. These RCD’s can be sensitive
to test currents used during a temporary measurement
link and trip out easily, which can cause both nuisance
and loss of data in computer systems. More modern
electronic protective devices are particularly sensitive,
even being tripped out by instruments which were usable
with the earlier electro - mechanical types.

1.4 Variants
The ST007 is a plug device that plugs straight into
a 16A socket.
2. PRODUCT SAFETY INFORMATION
2.1 Precautions
The design of this product was made while taking under
high consideration your safety. Nevertheless, please Pay
attention to the following warnings and provisions prior
to use.
Warning
Prior of use, please examine and verify that the product
is not defected. Verify that the unit is without dust,
grease and moisture. Also examine any accessories or
components related to the product. Please do not use
or operate if there is a defect of any kind.
Warning
If the ST007
does not power-up and none of the
indicators illuminate this does not necessarily mean the
circuit under test is dead. E.g. the Earth and Neutral
lines could both be open circuit, or the mains supply
voltage could be low but still at a dangerous level.
Warning
Wherever possible verify that the ST007 is in a good
working condition prior to use by testing it in a known
correctly wired socket

3
Warning
If the ST007 diagnoses a fault condition in the wiring
under test, always examine the wiring or have the wiring
examined by a skilled person.
Warning
Do not use the ST007 at main incoming distribution
boards, or any other area which would require a Cat. III
/ 300V instrument.
Warning
Do not connect the ST007 across two Phases of a three
Phase supply.
Warning
The ST007 will not correctly test circuits using isolation
transformers.
Caution
Prevent severe mechanical shock or vibration and
extremely high temperature.

3. OPERATION
3.1 Description & Indicators
The ST007 uses 3 LED’s to indicate wiring faults.
Note: The indicators will not illuminate if
there is a wiring fault (missing L)
3.2 Using the ST007
Caution
Please confirm that you have read carefully the
precautions (section 2) and examined the product in
a known correctly wired socket.

In order to start the test, you should Plug the ST007
into the socket you wish to examine. The test should be
started Automatically and the result shuld be indicuted in
few seconds.
Warning
In case that the ST007 does not turn on and none of the
LED’s illuminate this could indicate that the wiring is incorrect
or that the supply voltage is low (REF. section 2: precau-
tions). further examination of the wiring is necessary. Prior,
please verify the ST007 in a known correctly wired
socket to confirm the necessity of further examination of
the wiring.
3.3. Tests
There are 3 major tests:
3.4 Start the automatic tests
Plug the ST007 into the socket you wish to examine.
The ST007 will run an automatic test routine
and will examine the socket for 5 seconds and will
indicate the test result.
1.) Socket Polarity TEST
2.) NEUTRAL (N)/EARTH (PE) REVERSAL TESTING
3.) MANUAL TEST - RCD TESTING

In case that the result is different from correct result you should
compare the status of the indicators with following figures:
4.3 SOCKET POLARITY TEST Failure
After the result is correct You can proceed to Manual tests.
The Earth (PE) is existent
The Neutral (N) is correct
The Live (L) is correct
There is no reversal between
the Live (L) to the Neutral (N)

In order to complete the polarity test you should continue
to Neutral (N) / Earth (PE) Reversal Test.

Note: ST007 can detect Neutral-Earth reversal only if
there is RCD device by making current leakage higher
then 30mA between Live (L) to Neutral (N).
Warning
If there is no RCD or the RCD is damaged the ST007 will
consider the test as correct even though it might be not!
5.1 Correct result
The RCD will not be tripped.
5.2 Fail result
The RCD will be tripped.
9
In case that you have finished the Neutral (N) / Earth (PE)
Reversal Test you can proceed to RCD Test.
6. MANUAL TEST - RCD TESTING
Start the RCD test:
Press
RCD TEST
Button

Note: The ST 007 should operate satisfactorily on
circuits protected by most 30mA or higher RCDs or
RCBOs. Factors which should be considered are where
equipment, such as computers may introduce Earth
leakage currents due to internal noise filter circuits. This
Earth leakage current can approach the trip threshold of
an RCD or RCBO, and the ST 007 test current will add to
it with the possibility of the protective device tripping.
Warning:
Before using the ST 007 on critical circuits which supply
computers, medical equipment, or other systems where
loss of supply is unacceptable, ensure these are not
being operated, in line with normal practice when using
electrical test equipment.
7. MAINTENANCE
7.1 Preserve long product life
