1 Introduction to CS 2099 – Eurocheck
CS 2099 – Eurocheck is a professional, multifunctional field calibrator intended for use
with Metrel installation test instruments. In addition to its durable body and simple
operation it boasts the following features:
q
Insulation calibration with test voltages up to 1000 V,
q
Low
Ω
and continuity function calibration,
q
Continuity and insulation of measurement leads verification,
q
Fault loop and trip-lock impedance calibration (all test currents supported on
Metrel instruments),
q
Calibration of RCD trip-out time measurement, including test current verification
(30 mA test current is supported),
q
Line impedance calibration,
q
Voltage and frequency calibration,
q
PE test terminal functional verification.
Functioning and accuracy of all Metrel and most other manufacturer’s installation test
instruments can be verified with Eurocheck. However, not all instruments support all
functions available on Eurocheck. Refer to your instrument User manual for a complete
list of its measuring functions. The instrument list includes (but is not limited to):
q
MI3100 – EurotestEASI,
q
MI3101 – EurotestAT,
q
MI3102 – EurotestXE,
q
MI2086 – Eurotest,
q
MI2087 – Instaltest,
q
MI2087AL2 – Easitest,
q
Smartec family of instruments.
Installation test instruments are usually used on a daily basis in harsh environment
conditions. Often the user doesn’t have confidence in instrument operation and its
accuracy. Continuity of measurement leads presents additional problem. Many times it
is not possible to conclude the instrument state from ordinary measurement results.
Such results may look correct, but in fact they are wrong due to the instrument
malfunctioning. Regular test instrument calibration with Eurocheck will reveal such
problems.
Eurocheck doesn’t provide a complete calibration solution for installation test
instruments. Regular 6-months or 1-year calibration of all measurement functions of the
instrument is still recommended. What it does provide is simple field calibration of the
most frequently used functions when testing installations. Furthermore, in some
countries it is obligatory for approved contractors to demonstrate trustworthy control
system for ensuring accuracy of test instruments (like NICEIC in United Kingdom).
Eurocheck represents one simple solution in such cases.
Notes:
q
If in doubt about instrument operation and/or its accuracy, send it to your
distributor or manufacturer for a complete calibration and service, if required. The
same is valid if you’re in doubt about Eurocheck operation.
