Display with Selectable Language
The LCD panel consists of a backlit dot matrix at which menus,
setting options, measurement results, tables, instructions and
error messages, as well schematic diagrams appear.
The display can be set to the desired language depending on the
country in which the test instrument is used:
D, GB, I, F, E, P, NL, S, N, FIN, CZ or PL
Operation
Device functions are selected directly with the help of a rotary
selector switch. Softkeys allow for convenient selection of sub-
functions and parameter settings. Unavailable functions and
parameters are automatically prevented from appearing at the
display.
Schematic diagrams, measuring ranges and help texts can be
displayed for all basic functions and sub-functions.
An optional remote control (Z550A) can be connected for difficult
to access locations, from which the RCD tripping function and all
other measuring functions can be started.
Phase Tester
Protective conductor potential is tested after starting a test
sequence and touching the contact surface for finger contact (by
pressing the START key). The PE symbol appears at the display if a
potential difference of more than 25 V is detected between the
contact surface and the protective contact at the mains plug.
Error Indication
• The instrument automatically detects instrument-to-system
connection errors, which are indicated in a connection picto-
graph.
• Errors within the electrical system (no mains or phase voltage,
tripped RCD) are indicated at two LEDs and by means of pop-
up windows at the tilting LCD panel.
Battery Monitoring and Self-Test
Battery monitoring is conducted while the instrument is subjected
to an electrical load. Results are displayed both numerically and
with a symbol. Test images can be called up one after the other,
and LEDs and the acoustic signal can be tested during the self-
test. The test instrument is shut down automatically when the bat-
teries or NiMH rechargeable batteries (option) are depleted. A
microprocessor controlled charging circuit is used to assure safe
charging of rechargeable NiMH batteries.
Data Entry at the RS-232 Port
Data can be read in via a barcode or RFID scanner connected to
the RS-232 port, and comments can be entered with the help of
the softkeys.
USB Data Interface
Measurement data are transmitted to a PC via the integrated USB
port, at which they can be printed in report form and archived.
Software Update
The test instrument can always be kept current thanks to firm-
ware which can be updated via the USB port. Software is
updated during the course of recalibration by our service depart-
ment, or directly by the customer.

ETC User Software
ETC offers a wide variety of support options for data acquisition
and management.
• Amongst other things, the software acquires all important
data for reports in accordance with DIN VDE 0100-600.
• Test reports (ZVEH) can be generated automatically.
• Distribution structures with electrical circuit and RCD data can
be individually defined.
• Created structures can be saved to memory and loaded to
the test instrument as required via the USB port.
• Data can be exported to Excel, CSV and XML formats.
Overview of Included Features

The so-called live measurement is only advisable if there is no bias current within
the system. Only suitable for motor protection switches with small nominal cur-
rent values.
