Connecting the Test Instrument to the Mains
➭
See section 12 for nominal mains values (nominal ranges of
use).
➭
Connect the test instrument to the mains cable via its inlet
plug and insert the mains plug into an electrical outlet. The
function selector switch can be set to any position.
If a mains outlet (earthing contact outlet) isn’t available, or if
only a 3-phase outlet is available, the adapter socket can be
used to connect the phase conductor, the neutral conductor
and the protective conductor. The adapter socket has three
permanently attached cables and is included with the KS13
cable set.
Attention!
!
If connection isn’t possible via an earthing contact outlet:
Shut down mains power first.
Then connect the cables from the coupling socket to the
mains using pick-off clips in accordance with the dia-
gram.
Disconnection from mains power is only possible via the
mains plug.

Measurements in IT Systems (new parameter as of firmware
1.5.0)
The
IT system
setting can be
activated for all
single measure-
ments and test sequences in the
SETUP
switch position (Setup 1/
3) in the
All measurements
submenu (in this case the
icon
appears in the header of each display page):
with
“Measurement at IT system” set to Yes:
active leakage current
measurements (or all measurements with reference to PE at the
mains connection side) are disabled. Test sequences which
include measurements of this sort are also disabled.
If, when being connected to line voltage, the test instrument
detects a change at PE as compared with the previously used
mains connection, the inspector is asked directly after initial start-
up if the currently used outlet belongs to an IT system. The IT sys-
tem option in SETUP is activated based on the user’s answer. If
“Measurement at IT system” is activated, this is indicated by the
icon in the header.
Regardless of this, it’s always possible to accordingly change the
option manually in
SETUP.
The setting for the “Measurement at IT system” option is retained
even after disconnection from the mains.
In IT systems, active leakage current measurements (or any mea-
surements with reference to PE at the mains connection side) do
not deliver reliable measured values, for which reason all single
measurements of this sort, as well as test sequences which
include this type of measurement, are disabled when the “Mea-
surement at IT mains” option has been activated in
SETUP
.
The
Meas. at IT mains
parameter can be set in Setup:
