2 Safety Features and Precautions This instrument fulfills the requirements of the applicable European and national EC guidelines. We confirm this with the CE marking. The relevant declaration of conformity can be obtained from GMC-I Messtechnik GmbH.
Meanings of Symbols on the Instrument The symbols on the instrument have the following meanings: Warning regarding dangerous electrical voltage ! Warning concerning a point of danger (Attention: observe documentation!) Test socket 2.1 Notes Regarding the High-Voltage Test (only Feature F02 or SECUTEST SIII+H) The KS13 cable set, or similar cable sets, may not be used for the high-voltage test.
3 Initial Start-Up 3.1 Connection to the Mains (115 V / 230 V, 50 Hz / 60 Hz) õ Connect the mains plug at the test instrument to the mains power outlet. The function selector switch can be set to any position. If a mains outlet (earthing contact outlet) is not available, or if only a 3-phase outlet is available, the adapter socket can be used to connect the phase conductor, the neutral conductor and the protective conductor.
3.2 Automatic Recognition of Mains Connection Errors The test instrument automatically recognizes mains connection errors, if the conditions in the following table have been fulfilled. The user is informed of the type of error, and all measuring functions are disabled in the event of danger.
4.1.2 Automatic Safety Class Selection Depending upon the type of mains plug or the connection configuration for the device under test, the test instrument recognizes the respective safety class and recommends its use for the measurement to be performed. 4.3 4.1.
4.4 Configuring Device Parameters, Setting Date and Time Device parameters and functions which are valid for all selector switch positions can be activated or deactivated with the selector switch in the Setup position (see chapter 8 on page 18). 4.5 Configuring Measurement and Sequence Parameters Measurement and sequence parameters, as well as functions, can be activated or deactivated in the setup menu (selector switch in the Auto position) for the respective test regulation. Refer to chapter 15.
5 Classification of Devices Under Test 5.1 Safety Classes Devices assigned to all of the following safety classes are equipped with basic insulation, and provide for protection against electrical shock by means of various additional precautions as well. Safety Class I Devices Exposed, conductive parts are connected to the protective conductor so that they are not charged with voltage if the basic insulation should fail.

Settings x / – = function activated / deactivated Illumination Background illumination for the LCD.
9 Measuring Protective Conductor Resistance PE Connecting Safety Class I Devices to the Test Socket When the DUT is connected, resistance is measured between the protective conductor terminal at the test socket or at the PE jack and the probe connection at the DUT (contact with conductive parts of the housing). õ In order to measure protective conductor resistance, contact a conductive part of the housing with the probe, which is connected to the protective conductor.
Combined Testing – Differential Protective Conductor Resistance Zero balancing is also possible for protective conductor measurement. With zero balancing, all subsequent measurements are adjusted with an offset such that 0 is displayed for a selected reference point which is connected to the protective conductor.
Exception for Permanently Installed Safety Class I Devices ! Attention! Deactivate the electrical system which supplies power to the device under test before connecting the test instrument! õ Remove the mains fuses from the device under test and disconnect the neutral conductor N inside the device under test. õ Connect the probe to phase conductor L at the device under test in order to measure insulation resistance.
10.2 Equivalent Leakage Current General The equivalent leakage current measurement is a method for measuring protective conductor current (DIN VDE 0701-0702) and/or device leakage current (IEC 62353 (VDE 0751)). A high-impedance power supply is connected between the short-circuited mains terminals and all exposed metal parts of the housing (which are connected to one another).
Connection Refer to the schematic diagrams included with the online help for connection instructions. Equivalent Leakage Current IEL DIN VDE 0701-0702 / 2 K Connection Exception for Permanently Installed Safety Class I Devices Current is measured between the probe, with which the L and N conductors must be contacted, and the protective conductor terminal PE at the device under test for permanently installed safety class I devices under test. Select the I-EL measurement and start.
10.3 High-Voltage Test (Feature F02 or SECUTEST SIII+H) Only safety class I and II devices can be tested, which can be connected to the test socket. The high-voltage test is performed with direct voltage. In order to comply with requirements for alternating voltage, testing is performed with 1.5fold direct voltage. This multiplier is applied automatically during testing. A selected nominal voltage of 3.5 kV thus results in a DC output voltage of 5.25 kV.
õ Safety class II: Contact all exposed, conductive parts, simultaneously if possible, in order to avoid unnecessarily long test durations or repeats. Avoid contacting individual parts sequentially. Testing as Part of a Test Sequence õ After the key is released, the equivalent AC voltage is displayed which occurred during testing. This voltage is indicated as the test result. If this value is less than the pre-selected nominal voltage, the test is failed.
11 Leakage Current Measurement 11.1 Earth Leakage Current IPE (Feature KA01) Current which flows from the power pack over the insulation to the protective conductor, and thus to earth. I leakage ! Select the Ixx measurement and start. Each time line voltage is applied to the test socket, L and N are reversed, if this function has been selected in the leakage current menu (see chapter 11 on page 26).
11.3 Patient Leakage Current IPL Current which flows from an application part via the patient to earth. This current may be caused by an unintentional interference voltage at the patient, and may flow via the patient and an insulated, floating type F application part to earth. Useful patient current is excluded in both cases. AC and DC components are measured. + Note Patient leakage current must also be measured if application parts are available. The displayed test voltage must be documented. 11.
