1.0 Introduction

You have purchased a high quality measurement in-
strument of Ch. BEHA GmbH which will allow you
to carry out measurement over a long period of time.
The company Ch. BEHA GmbH is a member of the
world wide operating BEHA Group with its head of-
fice in Glottertal/Schwarzwald which also houses
our development centre. The BEHA Group is a lea-
ding organisation for Test and Measuring Instru-
ments. 

The instrument UNITEST TELARIS LOOP is charac-
terised by the following features:

• A unit designed to allow the user to quickly esta-

blish earth loop impedance, mains internal resi-
stance and prospective short circuit current.

• Enables the user to measure the individual con-

ductor resistances independently: protective con-
ductor resistance, phase resistance and neutral
conductor resistance.

• Designed to test the earth loop resistance without

tripping any RCD

• Designed to test AC voltages up to 300V AC.
• Designed to test frequency ranges up to 200 Hz.
• Includes a built-in memory capability allowing the

user to store up to 250 test results.

• Supplied with an infrared/ RS 232 serial port for

transferring test data or printing out results via the
PC.

• Enables the user to pre-select the maximum per-

missible contact voltage.

• Includes a clear and large LCD display providing

the user with an optimum visual 

indication of both test values and limits

• Includes an integrated energy management sy-

stem with auto-power-off function to 

ensure optimum battery usage.

• Supplied complete with standard carrying case.
• Designed to meet the constructional standards

IEC 61010, IEC 61557-1/3, EN 61557-1/3, DIN
VDE 0413, Part 3.
