Test Sequence with Connection to the Test Socket
➭ Set the rotary switch to the R
PE
position.
➭ Select measurement type or connection type, and test cur-
rent. After pressing the Ip key, you have direct access to the
test current parameters: each time this key is pressed, the
setpoint value shown in the measuring window is switched to
the next value.
➭ Connect the DUT to the test socket.
➭ Start the test: press the START/STOP key.
➭ Contact all conductive parts which are connected to
the protective conductor with test probe P1.
During measurement, the connector cable must only be moved to
the extent it is accessible during repair, modification or testing.
If a change in resistance occurs during the manual test step of the
continuity test, it must be assumed that the protective conductor
is damaged, or that one of the connector contacts is no longer in
flawless condition.
➭ The measured values are displayed. The measured
value recording symbol shown at the right appears.
Each time this key is pressed, the currently displayed
measured value is saved to the buffer.
➭ Stop the test: press the START/STOP key.
The save symbol appears (floppy disk showing the
number of measured values stored to buffer memory)
and prompts you to save the measured values to an ID
number.
➭ Read the measured values and compare them with the
table of permissible limit values.
➭ Press the ESC key in order to discard the measured
values stored to buffer memory and acknowledge by
pressing the key shown at the right.
Special Case: Testing Extension Cords
➭ Set the measurement type parameter to “PE(PD) – P1”.
➭ Connect the EL1 adapter to the P1 sockets at the test instru-
ment.
➭ Connect the plug at the end of the extension cord to the test
socket.
➭ Connect the coupling socket at the end of the extension cord
to the plug at the EL1 adapter.
➭ Same test sequence as described above.
Further options for testing extension cords are included in the
description of single measurements in the EL1 switch position and
under automatic test sequences in switch position A8.
Special case: permanently installed DUT
➭ Contact all conductive housing parts with test probe P1.
