The TnP 3PLM has been designed to meet stringent safety requirements, however no device can
completely protect you from the consequences of incorrect use. The testing of electrical appliances
requires that extra care and caution is taken at all times to ensure personal safety.
The Manufacturer also advises that appliance testing should be conducted by a Competent Person
who is suitably trained (see P.5 AS/NZ 3760:2010 for the definition of Competent Person), as well as
any additional legislation or rulings in different states. If in doubt, the manufacturer suggests the
user contact their responsible authority.
For maximum safety, always ensure that the following advice is followed:
• The equipment being tested is in good condition and passes a visual check.
• All instructions are read, understood and followed.
• The power supply connections are always checked - if the N-E (middle) LED Indicator flashes
red, do not proceed before consulting the manual.
• Always use specified fuses and protection devices.
• Do not use leads that require repair or are damaged.
• If you are unsure, call a licensed Engineer/Electrician.
Your Wavecom Appliance Tester should be calibrated every 12 months. A correctly calibrated
tester is essential for ensuring testing accuracy is maintained, and for complying with the AS/NZS
3760:2010.

tests on electrical equipment.
• The knowledge of how to use the relevant testing instruments, interpret and record the results for
compliance with the Standard/Workplace requirements.
• The knowledge to be able to correctly recommend the frequency of testing required.
Due to the potential hazards of electrical testing, due care must be taken at all times.
Using the Tablet
The TnP 3PLM comes with an Android tablet to be used with the WinPATS App to control your tester, save your
test results and generate reports. In the next section you will find a short introduction to using the TnP 3PLM
with your tablet, and more detailed, step by step guides are available on our website - www.wavecom.com.au
The tablet provided is intended for use with WinPATS only - using additional apps (other than those already
installed) may interfere with the functions of WinPATS and may slow down the app significantly. We strongly
recommend that you do not install other apps on this tablet, to ensure the stable operation of the WinPATS
App.
Before using your tablet with WinPATS, you must set it up as per the manufacturers instructions, and connect it
to the internet (via 4G or wifi). We also recommend that the tablet is fully charged before the first use.
Your tablet warranty is covered by the manufacturer (Telstra). While Wavecom are happy to provide support to
help you use your tablet for WinPATS, any issues that arise from the tablet (and not the WinPATS App) will need
to be resolved with the manufacturer.
With your TnP 3PLM you will have two tablet docking accessories. These are to be attached to your tablet so
you can secure your tablet to your TnP 3PLM.
To attach the docking accessories, we recommend docking them to the TnP 3PLM as shown below.
Then, peel off the backing plastic to expose the adhesive and place your tablet onto the docking accessories.
Take care to ensure that your tablet’s camera and charging port are not blocked by the docking accessories.

Using the Lithium Ion Battery
Using the TnP 3PLM on Mains Power
To use the TnP 3PLM on mains power, simply plug in the supplied power cable and connect it to a mains power
outlet. Your TnP 3PLM will automatically connect to mains power and begin charging the battery.
Using the TnP 3PLM on Battery Power
When unit is not connected to mains, simply press and hold the power button at the rear of the tester till unit
you hear a beep and the LCD screen turns on. Use the same button to turn off the unit when in battery mode.
Mains Supply tests, Leakage tests and Meter Mode functions are not available on battery power. To perform
RCD Tests, the TnP 3PLM is required to be connected to mains power.
Important: Ensure that the battery isolation switch is ON while operating the unit & performing tests. The
isolation switch is located inside the storage compartment
To Charge the Battery
Internal lithium-ion battery (98Wh, 6700mAh) can power the TnP 3PLM for around 3000 sets of tests. The
battery is charged simply by plugging the TnP 3PLM into mains power, and it takes around four hours to fully
charge.
Note: Turning off the red Isolation Switch (located inside the storage compartment) isolates the battery completely and
prevents the battery from charging.
While the TnP 3PLM is charging and not in use, the display can be turned off by pressing and holding the ENTER
button until you hear a beep and the LCD screen backlight turns off. You will then see charging information
displayed on the screen. Once the battery is fully charged and it is still connected to mains, battery symbol will
convert to plug symbol. It is advised not to put unit to charge when it is unattended or overnight.
Transporting Lithium Ion Battery Products
It has come to the attention of Wavecom Instruments Pty Ltd, that products containing batteries are being
shipped by customers through air freight. It is our understanding that, for the purpose of air transport,
lithium ion batteries are considered dangerous goods under the International Air Transport Authority (IATA)
regulations. It is the responsibility of the shipper to ensure that the product being shipped and the packaging
used comply with all regulations, noting that extensive penalties can be imposed by the relevant authorities
for any breach.
The IATA and other laws and regulations covering the transport of goods are very comprehensive, and Wavecom
Instruments makes no warranty that these regulations will permit particular shipments of its products by air
freight. Lithium ion batteries are not allowed to be transported by air. Products that contain internal batteries
are allowed, as long as the batteries are not damaged.
Should you require further information on the relevant regulations and requirements, please contact your
dangerous goods adviser and/or review the IATA website:
www.iata.org/publications/dgr/Pages/index.aspx

printer fault (see ‘Wavecom Thermal Transfer Printer’ for more information).
Using your TnP 3PLM with the new WinPATS App
Setting up the new WinPATS App is simple, but can take some time. We recommend setting up WinPATS before
you need to use it on site. You will need to download “WinPATS Pro” from the Google Play Store onto your
Android tablet. On our website, you can find a set of videos that will guide you through the various functions
and features of the new WinPATS App. This guide will walk through setting up WinPATS and connecting to your
tester.
Once you have downloaded the WinPATS App, open it and create up a 4 digit pin code. This will help keep your
data secure.
Next, it’s time to set up your Company Account. If your employer or organisation has an account already, you
can log in straight away using the details provided to you. Otherwise, tap Register Company to set up your
Company Account - you will be prompted to enable WinPATS’ permissions - this allows you to use the full set of
WinPATS features.
Now, fill in your details - a valid ABN is required to register a new company. You should use the address and
contact details of your head office. Once your details are entered, check they are correct, then tap Register.
You will be sent a One Time Password to the email you entered in the previous step. This is used to verify your
email address - enter the OTP to continue. This OTP is only valid for 10 minutes - if your OTP expires, simply go

Now you can pay for your WinPATS License - you should have a coupon code on the rear of this booklet which
provides you with one free license for the WinPATS App. Your coupon code is linked to your tester, and you will
need to connect your Android tablet to your TnP 3PLM to authenticate your code. Using the USB-OTG cable
supplied with your tester, connect your tablet to your tester in the following chain: Tablet > USB-OTG > USB-A to
USB B Cable > USB B port of your TnP 3PLM (located inside the storage compartment). See diagram on page 11.
Then, enter your coupon code and tap APPLY. You should see the Total Amount number drop to zero. Tap PAY to
proceed.
Once you have entered your code or paid, you can now Log In and set up your password. Enter the Company ID
and temporary Password which was emailed to you, which will enable you to log in for the first time. You will
now be prompted to set up a new password.

If there is a fault with the mains power connection, you may see one (or more) of the Indicator LEDs turn
red. This may indicate a serious issue with the mains power supply - consult a qualified professional before
proceeding. This won’t apply when using battery power.
Standard Mains Supply Test result with no issues.
N-E Fault - If the N-E light in on, DO NOT PROCEED. The N-E LED will turn red if there
is a voltage difference between the neutral and earth, or if no earth is connected.
If you are working from a generator or inverter this is likely to occur and you may
need to consult a qualified electrician before proceeding.
If the N-E LED is red, and A-N is green, there is a fault with the Mains Supply
You may also see more than one, or all of these turn red. For more information, see Mains Supply Test (Page 26)
TnP 3PLM Menu System
The menu system of the TnP 3PLM is divided into 3 pages. Menu A and B contain single phase tests, while Menu
C contains three phases tests. The TnP 3PLM has in internal contactor that switches between the single and
three phase sockets. When performing single phase tests only the single phase test socket will be used, and
when performing three phase tests only the three phase test socket will be used. If you have connected an
appliance to the wrong socket a ‘No Connection, No Test’ message will be displayed on screen.
Certain tests will only be available when the TnP 3PLM is connected to the correct power source. Use the table
below to ensure you have the correct power source for the test you need to conduct. If you don’t have the
correct power source a message will be displayed on screen.
Single Phase, 3 Wire All tests except Three Phase Leakage Tests
Three Phase, 4 Wire All tests except Single Phase Power Tests
Three Phase, 5 Wire All tests can be conducted

Class 1 - Earthed Appliance Test - Menu A - F1
The Class 1 Test completes the following sequences as part of its procedure:
• Integrated Supply Mains Test - Refer to Integrated Test section
• Integrated NCNT Test - Refer to Integrated Test section
• Earth Bond Test (@ 200mA): 200mA test current, pass level less than 1Ω
• Insulation Test (@ 250V, 500V or 1000V): pass level greater than 1MΩ
Note: 250V insulation testing applies to Class 1 appliances if selected (refer to Technical Information for details to change
test voltage).
In some situations, if the DUT is labelled with “Surge Protection Fitted” or if it contains MOV’s (Metal Oxide
Varistors), conduct a 250V-insulation test. If unsure refer to the AS/NZS:3760 Standard. Should it still fail,
remove it from service. (Refer to the Technical Information section to change test voltage).
Note: Ensure that the device is isolated from any ground loop.
Procedure:
1. Complete a Visual Inspection.
2. Plug device into appliance test socket.
3. Plug the IEC Clamp Cable into the IEC socket of the TnP 3PLM

TnP 3PLM Testing Menu – Main Menu B
Use the Enter button to switch between Menu A , B & C. All tests on Menu B require a Mains Power source.
Power Test - Menu B – F1
The Power Test is for the purposes of monitoring and performance of equipment. The Power Test feature is
for single phase appliances only. The Power Test allows the user to turn the appliance on and measure its
performance as a digital wattmeter.
Displayed parameters are:
• Volts AC
• Current
• Volt Amp
• Power Factor
• Watts
This test is ideal for service agents and electricians. The user can plug in the appliance and turn it on with real
time measurements displayed on the display. This is useful when testing an appliance with a compliance/
name plate on it. The operator can compare the name plate details of operating voltage, operating current,
and power factor etc. Should the appliance exceed the said values on the name plate it could be deemed faulty
and require service.
