4.3  Selecting calibration function/sub-function 

 
The following measurements can be selected with the RCD/LOOP function selection 
button (see Figure 3.1). Appropriate LED lights when particular function/sub-function is 
selected: 

Fault loop and trip-lock impedance calibration (two impedance values available), 

RCD trip-out time calibration and instrument test current verification. 

 
The following measurements are not indicated with LEDs on front panel. Connect the 
tested instrument to the outputs particular to each function: 

Insulation resistance, 

Low

Ω

 and continuity resistance, 

Voltage and frequency calibration, 

Line impedance calibration, 

Continuity and insulation of measurement leads verification, 

PE test terminal operation verification. 

 

Note

For descriptions of instrument measurement functions refer to its User manual. 

 
 

4.4  Selecting appropriate test cable for calibration 

 
Functions that use Eurocheck RCD/Fault loop calibration output can be calibrated using 
universal test cable, plug cable or plug commander. Use test tips to connect universal 
test cable into Eurocheck RCD/Fault loop calibration output: 

Fault loop impedance, 

Trip-lock impedance, 

RCD trip-out time and instrument test current I

Δ

n, 

Line impedance, 

PE test terminal operation verification. 

 
Measurement results should be the same, regardless of selected cable. 
 
It is possible that the cause for incorrect calibration result is broken wire or deteriorated 
insulation in measurement cable. Correctness of universal test cable wiring can be 
easily verified, see chapter 4.13. If this cable passes verification, use it to perform 
calibration of functions listed above. Write down measurement results. Then use other 
type of cable and repeat calibration. Compare measurement results, they should be 
close to each other. 
 
Other functions can be calibrated with universal test cable and tip commander: 

Insulation resistance, 

Low

Ω

 and continuity resistance, 

Voltage and frequency, 

Continuity and insulation of measurement leads verification. 

 
For further information on how to use each cable type see User manual of your 
instrument.
