Setting Measuring Parameters for RPE
1
Measurement cannot be performed with 10/25 A AC for this measure-
ment type.
2
Feature G01: This type of measurement can only be selected if a test
current of 10 A AC has been chosen.
Entering and Deleting Offset Values
The test instrument determines protective conductor resistance
by means of a 4-pole measurement. If measurement cables or
extension cords are used whose ohmic resistance should be
automatically subtracted from the measurement results, there are
two ways to save the respective offset value in the R
PE
switch
position:
•
Entry via the numeric keypad
•
Acceptance of the momentary measured value by pressing the
SET
OFFSET
softkey
Proceed as follows in order to accept the measured value:
➭
Start the measurement and wait until the measured value settles in.
➭
Press the
SET OFFSET
key. The value is transferred to the offset
field.
The entered or accepted offset value is permanently stored and is
subtracted from all protective conductor resistance values mea-
sured in the future. This applies to single measurements as well
as to measurements conducted in the AUTO switch positions.
The
symbol is displayed in the header in all switch positions
until the offset value is deleted by pressing the
CLEAR OFFSET
soft-
key (R
PE
switch position).
Protective Conductor Measurement with 25 A AC (feature G02)
In accordance with IEC 60601, at least 25 A must be achieved
with a load of 0.1
Ω
and a maximum voltage of 0.6 V.
Continuous protective conductor resistance measurement with a
test current of 25 A isn’t possible due to contact resistance at the
jacks.
If the test instrument is operated at room temperature, an uninter-
rupted
test duration of at least 15 seconds
is possible. Under other
conditions, maximum test duration may be shorter and/or the
measurement may be prematurely terminated.
Attention!
!
Suitable measurement cables with a minimum wire
cross-section of 2.5 mm must be used when measuring
protective conductor resistances with a “25 A AC” test
current.
Included: suitable test probe with
green
strain relief
sleeve.
For subsequent orders, we recommend the SK2-25A
test probe (Z746C).
Under certain circumstances, the required standard val-
ues might not be complied with if unsuitable accessories
are used.
Attention!
!
Measurement duration with a 25 A test current is limited
(see technical data).
An error message is generated if measurement duration
is exceeded which results in a temperature increase at
the test instrument.
