3.1 Testing the LEDs
Before performing any measurements, the
LEDs should be tested for correct function-
ing. 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).
After switching the test instrument on, the
LEDs must light up green in all switch posi-
tions except for R
ISO, ZL-P and ZL-N.
3.2 Connecting the Test Instrument to the
Test Adapter
Connecting the Measurement Inputs
The respective test instrument is always
connected to the test adapter via 3 poles
using the PRO-SCHUKO plug insert or via
safety sockets L, N and PE.
PROFITEST MTECH+: test plug
PROFITEST MXTRA: test plug
PROFITEST PRIME: probes 1(L), 2(N), 3(PE)
This also applies in the case of 2-pole mea-
surements, because the corresponding
probes are controlled from the test instru-
ment via the test adapter controller – the
measurement cables or probes no longer
have to be manually replugged.
Data Interface Connection
The test adapter must also be connected to
the test instrument via the serial port in order
to control the line circuit-breaker, for the pur-
pose of indication by means of the conduc-
tor LEDs and for power supply. Use the
serial interface cable to this end (included).
3.3 Connection to the System or the
Mains
The test adapter must be connected to the
system for all tests (see connections over-
view on page 2). The following adapter
cables are available for this purpose:
➭ Disconnect the system from all sources
of voltage and secure against restart.
➭ Check the measuring points for absence
of voltage before connecting them to the
test adapter.
➭ Using the appropriate adapter cable,
connect the test adapter to the system
via connector sockets L1, L2, L3, N and
PE:
Refer to the characteristic values on
page 14 for nominal mains values.
