13 Connecting the Device Under Test
Note
Always connect the DUT in accordance with the sche-
matic diagrams included in the online help function (see
section 7.4 “Help Functions (HELP key)”).
Connection of the DUT to the test instrument depends on:
• The type of DUT:
For direct connection to the test socket (TS)
For DUTs with single-phase connection
and extension cords via the
EL1 adapter
(in which case the EL1 is connected to probe sockets P1)
For permanent connection (to the mains)
by contacting the housing with the probe
(for the
measurement of protective conductor resistance or
with the direct measuring method for the touch current
measurement)
Measurement of protective conductor current with a current clamp
(only possible with feature I01)
For connection via adapter
– With single-phase extension cords via the EL1 adapter
(in which case the EL1 is connected to probe sockets P1)
– With single and 3-phase extension cords via the VL2E adapter
to the test socket
– With devices with 5-pole, 16 A CEE plug
via the AT16-DI differential current adapter to the test socket
– With devices with 5-pole, 32 A CEE plug
via the AT32-DI differential current adapter to the test socket
• DUT protection class (PC I, PC II or PC III) or any combinations
of protection classes
Note
The DUT must be switched on for all tests. Switches,
relays, temperature regulators etc. must all be taken into
consideration.
As a default setting, the program sequence assumes that the plug
from the DUT has been connected to the test socket.
