PROFITESTREMOTE Observe the following safety precautions: • The device may only be connected to electrical systems with a maximum of 230/ 400 V which comply with applicable safety regulations (e.g. IEC 60346, VDE 0100) and are protected with a fuse or circuit breaker with a maximum rating of 16 A. • The test adapter may only be used for tests described in the section entitled “Applications”.
PROFITESTREMOTE 2 Applications Use of the test adapter eliminates bothersome replugging, and thus reversing of the phases as well during measurement of RISO, ZL-PE and ZL-N. The following measurements are supported: L1-PE, L2-PE, L3-PE, N-PE, L+N-PE, L1-N, L2-N, L3-N, L1-L2, L1-L3, L2-L3 The following test instruments are suitable for use with the test adapter: – PROFITEST MTECH+, as of FW V03.04.00 – PROFITEST MXTRA, as of FW V03.04.00 – PROFITEST PRIME, as of FW V03.05.
PROFITESTREMOTE Initial Start-Up 3 Initial Startup 3.3 3.1 Testing the LEDs The test adapter must be connected to the system for all tests (see connections overview on page 2). The following adapter cables are available for this purpose: Before performing any measurements, the LEDs should be tested for correct functioning. The test adapter has to be connected to the test instrument via the serial port to this end. Use the serial interface cable for this purpose (included).
PROFITESTREMOTE 3.4 Initial Start-Up Key and Significance of the LEDs LED 1 LED 2 LED 3 LED 10 LED 9 LED 7 LED 8 LED 6 LED 5 LED 4 LED 11 Significance of the LEDs LED lights up red: Switch closed LED lights up green: Switch open LED Test The LEDs must light up green in all switch positions except for RISO, ZL-P and ZL-N. Repeat the LED test after each test run.
PROFITESTREMOTE 4 Measurements The test adapter can remain connected to the system or the mains during the course of all measurements, assuming absence of voltage during the insulation resistance measurement. Note! The fuses have to be checked before each measurement. Blown fuses must be replaced with new ones (see “Fuse Replacement” on page 15). 4.1 ! Measuring Insulation Resistance (RISO) Attention! Single-Phase Mains Connection The phase must be connected to L1 for single-phase mains connection.
PROFITESTREMOTE 4.1.2 Measuring Insulation Resistance with the PROFITEST PRIME Preparing for Measurement ➭ Using the corresponding test probes, connect the test instrument to the L, N and PE sockets at the test adapter. ➭ Disconnect the system from all sources of voltage before connecting the measuring points to the test adapter. ➭ Connect the system to sockets L1, L2, L3, N and PE. Performing the Measurement ! Attention! Insulation test voltage may not exceed 500 V.
PROFITESTREMOTE 4.2 ! Measurements Measuring Loop Impedance (ZL-PE) Attention! Single-Phase Mains Connection The phase must be connected to L1 for single-phase mains connection. 4.2.1 Measuring Loop Resistance with the PROFITEST MTECH+ or MXTRA Preparing for Measurement ➭ Connect the test instrument’s test plug to the PRO-SCHUKO plug insert. ➭ Disconnect the system from all sources of voltage before connecting the measuring points to the test adapter.
