10 Test Sequences
Default State
* on condition that the respective sequence parameter has been preset to „on“
10.1 General
If the same sequence of single tests will be run frequently (one
after the other with subsequent report generation), for example as
specified in the standards, it’s advisable to make use of test
sequences (also called measuring sequences).
Limit values have been entered for test sequences in accordance
with the standards. And thus a go/no-go evaluation takes place
during measurement based on worst-case assessment. If the
momentary measured value is displayed in green, it lies within the
limit values specified in the standard. If the measured value
appears orange at the display, it doesn’t fulfill the requirements
set forth in the standard. Even if the DUT fails just one single mea-
surement, the test sequence is aborted and testing in accordance
with the selected standard is failed.
Automatic test sequences are run in rotary switch positions
AUTO, as well as A1 through A8.
Test sequences A1 ... A8 and AUTO have been pre-configured at
the factory.
We recommend assigning frequently used test sequences to A1
... A8 while performing special sequences which require frequent
parameter modifications in switch position AUTO.
The measurements are evaluated automatically by the test instru-
ment. Evaluation is based on the worst-case and, depending on
settings, in consideration of measuring uncertainty.
Test Sequences in the AUTO Switch Position
The following test sequences are included as a standard feature
with the SECUTEST B
ASE(10)/XTRA in the AUTO switch position:
• DIN VDE 0701-0702
Recurrent test and test after repair and modification of electri-
cal equipment
• IEC 62353
Medical electrical equipment – Recurrent test and test after
repair of medical electrical equipment (application parts with
test probe P1)
• IEC 60974-4
Arc welding equipment – Part 4: Periodic inspection and test-
ing (voltage measurement with test probe P1 without electrical
isolation) One pole of the voltage to be measured must be
connected to PE at the mains.
The individual sequences are selected with the softkeys.
Specifications for the test sequences can be entered to the
device in two different ways:
• SETUP switch position: general settings can be entered which
apply to all test sequences (regardless of the respectively
selected standard).
• Switch positions AUTO and A1 through A8: classification parame-
ters and sequence parameters can be entered which only
apply to the selected switch position.
General Settings (SETUP: auto measurements parameter)
The following settings can be entered for all test sequences in the
SETUP switch position on menu page 1/3 under the auto measure-
ments parameter:
At the End of the Sequence
At the end of a sequence, either the save symbol appears in
order to prompt storage, or the results list is displayed.
Consider Measuring Uncertainty
If Yes is selected, measuring uncertainty is taken into consider-
ation when the measurement results are displayed. The final
result which appears at the display is downgraded by an
amount equal to measuring uncertainty.
