3 Copper tests
The ARGUS displays the menu options "Copper tests multimeter" and "Copper tests oscil-
loscope" in the access menu. These tests can be used to detect dangerous voltages and
currents at an early stage and to reliably assess the physical condition of the cable.
In the following, the operation of the various functions is briefly presented. Since the results
are usually only available in graphical form, they can only be correctly interpreted in con-
junction with knowledge about the line on which measurements are being made. The
ARGUS supports you with various tools, such as the zoom or cursor function.
3.1 Copper tests multimeter
3.1.1 Auto test
The ARGUS executes various tests automatically, depending on the configured auto test
profile. Ten user-configurable profiles (including remote kit control) are available for auto
test.
The measuring ranges, resolutions and accuracies of the respective measurement may be
found in the chapter Technical data, see page 8.
Selection of the auto test (see picture on the left).
After selecting the "Menu" softkey, 10 CU Auto test profiles can be configured at "CU Auto
test Profile".
A voltage check is performed before every measurement (except current
measurement) in which the voltage limits given in the table (see page 7)
may not be exceeded.
