Setting Measuring Parameters
Direct Selection – Setting the Measurement Type
Direct Selection – Setting Polarity –
for Direct and Differential Only
Prerequisites for Touch Current Measurement
• Visual inspection has been passed.
• For protection class I devices:
Protective conductor resistance testing has been passed.
• Insulation resistance testing has been passed.
Test Sequence for Direct and Differential Current Methods
➭ Set the rotary switch to the I
B
position.
➭ Select the Direct or Differential measurement type:
– By setting the parameters
or
– Via the MA key
➭ In the case of direct and differential current measurement,
measurement must be performed with mains plug po-
larity in both directions. Select the respective polarity
to this end by pressing the NL/LN key.
➭ Connect the DUT’s mains plug (protection class II) to the test
instrument’s test socket (see figures 1/3 and 2/3).
Attention!
!
Testing is conducted in the presence of line voltage.
➭ Start the test: press the START/STOP key.
➭ Acknowledge the warning which indicates that line
voltage will be connected to the test socket.
➭ Contact all accessible conductive parts, one after the
other, which are not connected to the housing with test probe
P1.
➭ 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.
Test Sequence for Alternative Measuring Method
➭ Set the rotary switch to the I
B
position.
➭ Select the Alternative measurement type:
– By setting the parameters
or
– Directly by pressing the key shown at the right
➭ Connect the DUT’s mains plug (protection class II) to the test
instrument’s test socket (see figure 3/3).
➭ Set the Up(set) and frequency parameters.
➭ Start the test: press the START/STOP key.
➭ Contact all accessible conductive parts, one after the
other, which are not connected to the housing with
test probe P1.
➭ 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.
