TESTAVIT® SCHUKI® 1 LCD socket test unit. Checking grounding, wiring and RCD protection switch.
Yes and No, the answer to this plug is to check the actual connection of the socket to the house ground. YES, this plug can be critically important if the decision to protect against electrosmog is positive and invested in an earthable product such as shielding paint, canopy or sleeping bag. And NO, this grounding tester for the standard power outlet is not too complicated and therefore not only to be operated by the electrician. With this plug, it is possible for each individual to check the grounding of the electrical system quickly and easily.
Basically, it is completely pointless to buy an groundable shielding product and connect it to an ungrounded or incorrectly grounded outlet. And there are many other possibilities of incorrect cabling / wiring within the socket, which can also cause dangerous situations.
With this socket tester including RCD triggering the quick check of the connections in the socket is possible.
Of course, the TESTAVIT SCHUKI 1 LCD is only giving a hint and can’t replace the professional analysis of an electrician. Nevertheless, this socket tester provides more information at the same time – even for the electrician:
- Checking the wiring of sockets (even with classic zeroing)
- Finger contact for checking the protective conductor connection
- Checking the function of RCD circuit breaker
- Displaying the actual state of the cable assignment in the socket (OK and ERROR)
- For ERROR, the wrong assignment is displayed as the result For the information of the electrician
RCD tripping is the special feature of the Testavit® Schuki® 1 LCD
We have opted for this additional model of the simple socket tester due to the possibility now also to check the RCD circuit breaker in the fuse box. The RCD can proverbially save lives by protection against electric shock and therefore it makes sense to be able to test the RCD on the function. After pressing the test switch on the socket tester for up to 3 seconds, the FI must “switch” in the fuse box. If this does not happen, the electrician should be assigned immediately to check and possibly repair.
Finger contact for testing the protective conductor connection is the second special feature of the Schuki® series
It can have devastating consequences if an inadmissibly high contact voltage is applied to the protective conductor connection. Again, the TESTAVIT SCHUKI 1 LCD will issue a warning on the LCD display after touching the contact point should this be a problem.
Safe advantages with the Testavit Schuki 1 LCD
- fast and safe inspection of installations
- Finger contact for checking the protective conductor connection
- RCD test (Schuki 1 LCD)
- RCD test (30 mA @ 230 V AC)

CONTROL ELEMENTS AND DISPLAY ELEMENTS OF TESTAVIT SCHUKI 1 LCD
Socket testers in practice – simply plug in and read the display!
With an active shielding product, such as our Electrosmog PRO canopy or the Electrosmog PRO sleeping bag, it is possible to shield yourself against electrosmog for a few hours. With our canopy, you will be practically free of stress caused by continuous exposure to (mobile) radio and electric alternating fields from the house supply, you will feel a considerably lower amount of radiation with the sleeping bag. If the product can be grounded, we have provided an earth connection to easily connect it to the earth on the socket. However, there is still one question that, until now, only electricians could answer most of the time – is the socket’s earth actually connected?
In every house and residence, it feels like the years fly by, and whoever checks the quality and function of the earth or if it was actually connected will check over and over as time goes on. Electricians are used time and again when we have done a geobiological search of the bedroom and spotted a missing earth. Reasons for this vary from defected cables to forgotten connections during construction.
A handle of seconds. For the layman and also for the professional.
We have two connector types available from the can tester – Type EF (Europe) and Type J (Switzerland). Before connecting the protective product to the ground, simply plug this plug into the socket and read the display. If OK remove the plug and insert the grounding wire from the canopy, sleeping bag, etc. into the socket. A relaxing night is now nothing in the way. If a cabling problem is detected just try the next outlet. If several sockets are present and electrical problems are displayed, this does not necessarily apply to all sockets.
For stationary use such as. In the case of the Elektrosmog PRO canopy, without exception, make an appointment with the electrician for a professional analysis of the protective conductor connection for equipotential bonding / grounding. We repeat here – this socket tester is a pure whistleblower and can not replace the professional analysis of an electrician.
This tester is also an enrichment for professional use. We have been using socket testers for years in metrological investigations. After this time in practice, we appreciate this fast measuring method and thus recommend this socket tester to every construction biologist, measurement technician and geobiologist.
