2.1

Intended Use / Use for Intended Purpose

Safety of the operator, as well as that of the test instrument, is
only assured when it’s used for its intended purpose.
The SECUTEST ST BASE, the SECUTEST ST BASE10, the
SECUTEST ST PRO, SECULIFE ST BASE and the SECULIFE ST
BASE25 are test instruments for testing the electrical protective
measures of electrical devices, electrical medical equipment and
electric welding equipment.
All test instruments include measuring and test functions for
checking the effectiveness of the protective measures required in
accordance with the respective test standards for the particular
field of technology. Single measurements and test sequences can
be executed.
Test sequences (semi-automatic test procedures) can be used in
an integrated, i.e. preconfigured form, or defined individually by
the user.
The integrated test sequences consist of a preconfigured series of
individual tests with subsequent documentation, as stipulated in
the respective standard. They can thus be used to repeatedly and
efficiently perform standards-compliant tests. Their progress is
interrupted by safety-related pauses, as well as associated warn-
ings and instructions. As a result, the level of protection provided
to the user is greater than demanded by sections 4.1.6 and 4.1.7
of standard “IEC / 61557-16 / DIN EN 61557-16 / VDE 0413-16”
with regard to “automated test sequences”.
The integrated test sequences can be used to comply with the
following standards:

•

VDE 0701-0702 / ÖVE E 8701 / SNR 462638
Inspection after repair, modification of electrical appliances –
Periodic inspection on electrical appliances

•

IEC 62353 / EN 62353 / VDE 0751-1
Medical electrical equipment –
Recurrent test and test after repair of medical electrical equip-
ment

•

tective Measures of Electrical Equipment After Repair

•

EN 50699 / VDE 0702
Recurrent Test of Electrical Equipment

•

IEC 62368 / EN 62368 / VDE 0868-1
Audio/video, information and communication technology
equipment

•

IEC 62911 / EN 62911 / VDE 0868-911
Audio, video and information technology equipment – Routine
electrical safety testing in production

Attention!

The integrated, preconfigured test sequences do not in-
clude all of the tests prescribed by the product standard
which are required for type testing! They’re restricted to
the tests which are required as a rule after repair or
during maintenance work and for occupational health
and safety measures, as well as for quality assurance in
production.

Note

Availability of the individual integrated test sequences
depends on the test instrument type (SECUTEST ST... or
SECULIFE ST...), the selected features (order features)
and the enabled extensions (activations).
Refer to your order / test instrument and data sheet for
details.

Suitable, database-driven test software is available, namely IZY-
TRONIQ. This software facilitates test organization and the man-
agement of test data from a broad range of test instruments. It also
provides extended functions such as remote control in connection
with the respective test instrument – support for extended func-
tions depends on the test instrument and its order features or
enabled extensions (activations). The software itself is included
with test equipment sets, or can be purchased separately.
The test instrument housing is compact, impact resistant and
includes an integrated rubber protector for mobile use, e.g. in fac-
tories, on construction sites and in industrial environments.
The front panels and housings of SECULIFE ST BASE and SECU-
LIFE ST BASE25 test instruments are also furnished with antimi-
crobial properties, which make it possible to use them in hygieni-
cally sensitive areas.
