• Leakage current measurement
During leakage current measurement it is essential to ensure that the
DUT is operated at mains voltage. Exposed conductive parts may be
subject to hazardous contact voltage during the test and may not be
touched under any cricumstances. (A mains shutdown takes place
when the leakage current exceeds approx. 10 mA).
!
Attention!
The function test may only be performed after the DUT has
successfully passed the safety test!
The measuring and test instrument may not be used:
• If it demonstrates visible damage
• With damaged connector cables, measuring cables or patient ports
• If it no longer functions properly
• After extraordinary stresses due to transport
In such cases, the instrument must be removed from operation and
secured against unintentional use.

5Classification of Devices Under Test
5.1Safety Classes
Devices assigned to all of the following safety classes are equipped with
basic insulation, and provide for protection against electrical shock by
means of various additional precautions as well.
Safety Class I Devices
Exposed, conductive parts are connected to the protective conductor so
that they are not charged with voltage if the basic insulation should fail.
Safety Class II Devices
These devices are equipped with double insulation or reinforced
insulation.
Safety Class III Devices
These devices are powered with safety extra-low voltage (SELV). Beyond
this, no voltages are generated which exceed SELV. These devices may
not be connected to the mains.
Note: The DUT may only be connected to the test instrument at jacks 1
through 3 (Feature F01). Only a visual inspection, an insulation resistance
measurement or a measurement of the supply voltage can be performed,
see parameter “SC II I U
” on page 27.
V
The test is failed by a DUT with 300 kW with deactivated classification
function (= _), but it is passed with activated classification function (= x) if
the question is answered accordingly.
Similar possibilities for passing the test, although it might otherwise be
failed, are included in DIN VDE 0701, part 1.
If the DUT is connected via the jacks instead of the test socket, other limit
values apply because higher power consumption is possible in this case
(e.g. part 1 specifies a limit value of 1 mA per kW for equivalent leakage
current).
See also table: “Maximum Allowable Limit Values for Equivalent
Leakage Current in mA” on page 20.
5.2Application Parts (electrical medical devices)
Type B Application Parts (body)
Devices of this type are suitable for both internal and external patient
applications, except for use in direct proximity to the heart.
These devices provide for adequate protection against shock especially
as regards:
• Reliable leakage current
• Reliable protective conductor connection if utilized
Devices of the following safety classes are allowable: I or II.
Parameter Classification (in the Sequence... menu)
The SECUTEST
ues of the respectively selected safety class. The test is failed if this limit
value is exceeded. However, devices under test exist for which higher limit
values are allowable.
If parameter classification is activated (= x), the user is asked if higher limit
values are allowable for the DUT. If “Yes” is entered, reevaluation ensues
and the DUT may pass the test.
Examples
If the insulation resistance test is failed, or if interference suppression
capacitors have been replaced, equivalent leakage current measurement
must be performed on DUTs with heating elements in accordance with
DIN VDE 0702.

9.1Measuring Protective Conductor Resistance
Definition
Protective conductor resistance
is the sum of the following
resistances:
• Connector cable or device
connector cable resistance
• Contact resistance at plug
and terminal connections
• Extension cable resistance if
utilized
Ω
Resistance is measured:
• Between each exposed conductive part of the housing and the
earthing contacts at the mains and the device plug (if a removable
mains connector cable is used), or the protective conductor terminal
for permanently installed devices.
• As a 4-pole measurement
• Between the earthing contacts at the mains plug and the earthing
contacts at the device plug for device connector cables
• Between the earthing contacts at the mains plug and the earthing
contacts at the coupling socket for extension cables
Connecting Safety Class I Devices to the Test Socket
When the DUT is connected, resistance is measured between the protective conductor terminal at the test socket or at the PE jack, and the probe

➭ In order to measure protective conductor resistance, contact a
conductive part of the housing with the probe, which is connected
to the protective conductor.
During measurement, the connector cable must only be moved to the
extent it is accessible during repair, modification or testing.
If a change in resistance occurs during the manual test step of the continuity test, it must be assumed that the protective conductor is damaged,
or that one of the connector contacts is no longer in flawless condition.

10Function Test
The device under test can be subjected to a
function test with line voltage via the
integrated test socket.
Function Test
In addition to testing with the selector switch in the function test position,
or with the Function parameter in the MENU position (feature F01 only), a
function test can also be performed immediately after safety testing has
been passed in accordance with the selected standard (not possible for
safety class III devices).
!
Attention!
The function test may only be performed after the DUT has
successfully passed the safety test.
☞
☞
Note
Each time line voltage is applied to the test socket, phase
conductor L and neutral conductor N are automatically reversed,
if the “mains polarity reversal” function has been activated (= x) in
the I leakage selector switch position.
Note
The function test is only possible if the device under test has
been connected to the test socket (21).
Measurements
The function test includes the following measurements:
– Voltage U-LN between the L and N conductors
– Residual current ΔI
(corresponds to fault current between L and N)
– Load current I
– Active power P
– Apparent power S (calculated)
– Power factor PF (cos ϕ calculated, display > 10 W)
– Electrical energy W
– On-time t for U
The following values are also displayed for all selector switch positions
except MENU, after the function test has been completed:
– Maximum residual current ΔI
– Maximum load current I
– Maximum active power P
Power factor is calculated from active power and apparent power. Power
factor corresponds to cos ϕ for sinusoidal quantities (line voltage and load
current).
!
Attention!
Starting the Function Test
For reasons of safety, the device under test must be switched
off before the function test is started. This precaution prevents
inadvertent start-up of a device under test which may represent
a hazard during operation, e.g. a circular saw or a disc grinder.
Ending the Function Test
After completion of the function test, devices under test must
be turned off with their own switch – especially devices with
relatively high inductivity.

The following measurements can be performed in accordance with the
above mentioned standard:
• Protective conductor R
Test current: DC ±200 mA
• Housing leakage current I
• According to DIN VDE 0701, part 240, the device protective conductor must be tested after maintenance, repair or modification of data
processing equipment and office machines, and exposed, conductive
parts must be tested for the absence of voltage. This applies to:
• Safety class I devices for all exposed, conductive parts which are
accessible to the user, and which are not connected to the protective
conductor
• Safety class II devices (totally insulated devices) for all exposed,
conductive parts which are accessible to the user
with the mains plug poled in both directions
Setting Up the Test Sequence
See chapter 11.4 regarding the test sequence.
Special Parameters
Combined Testing
Safety class I and II devices can be tested individually or in
combination. All protective conductor connections are tested
first for interconnected safety class I devices, and then – as is
also the case for interconnected safety class II devices – all
exposed, conductive parts.
Connecting the Device Under Test
➭ Connect the test instrument and the DUT as described below:
– Connect both devices to separate mains outlets.
The outlets to which the test instrument and the safety class I DUT
are connected must share a common protective conductor!
– Or connect the test instrument to the mains and the DUT to the
test socket at the test instrument.
(permanent connection or with plug)
PE
Data Processing / Office Machines
Permanently connected or with plug
To test socket at the instrument
The requirement for testing with the mains
plug poled in both directions can be fulfilled
by connecting the DUT to the test
socket at the instrument, and by
activating mains polarity reversal under
“Sequence” in the setup menu. Each
time the key (14) is activated, phase
conductor L and neutral conductor N
are reversed at the test socket.
!
Attention!
Testing with mains polarity reversal or with the mains plug poled
in both directions results in interruption of supply power to the
affected data processing equipment or office machine. This test
may thus only be conducted with the consent of the operator of
the data processing equipment or office machine.
If the DUT is defective, the electrical system’s RCCB may be
tripped during testing which would also result in interruption of
supply power to the affected equipment or office machine.
The manufacturer of the test instrument assumes no liability for
loss of data or other damage which results from use of the test
instrument.

11.7 Testing Extension Cables for VDE 0701, Part 1, and VDE 0702
(option: EL1 adapter)
Extension Cables up to 5 m Long
Protective conductor resistance between the earthing contact at the
mains plug and all exposed metal parts may not exceed 0.3 Ω for safety
class I devices. This value may not exceed 1 Ω for permanently
connected data processing systems (DIN VDE 0701, part 240).
Extension and Connector Cables Longer than 5 m
Per DIN VDE 0702, an additional cable resistance of 0.1 Ω, however, not
more than 1 Ω, is allowable as of a length of 5 m for each additional
7.5 m.
Resistance testing for cables longer than 5 m is thus advisable (see also

Upon completion of a measurement – „Test passed/Test failed“ is shown
on the display – you can save the measurement data to the memory of
the PSI module.
➭ Press the STORE key at the PSI module to this end.
A text entry field is shown.
➭ You may now enter your comments on the measurement and/or an
identification number.
➭ Press the STORE key once more to save the measurement data and
your comments.
The message: „Data are stored“ is displayed.
A detailed description is given in the operating instructions of your PSI
module under chapter „How to display, print and store protcol“.
12.2 Database Operations
12.2.1 Setting Up Test Sequences with PC Software
This function must be activated with the help of upgrade software, e.g.
the Z853H program.
Up to 99 test sequences can be uploaded for each of the selector switch
positions from a PC via the serial port at the SECUTEST
ment. After testing has been performed, the test results are saved to the
same database, if a PSI module has not been connected. The maximum
possible sum of test sequences and test results is 127.
Test results are stored to the PSI module if one has been connected.
The database can be used in different ways:
(see also chapter 11.2 on page 27)
1. Stored test results can be displayed
(select the ID no. and then activate the “from database” function).
The desired test sequence can be selected with the scroll keys.
2. If “ID no. = test sequence” has been activated (X), the first two
characters of the ID number determine the test sequence.

The protective conductor measurement is expanded to include the
function: “automatic recognition of measuring point change”.
During protective conductor measurement, the instrument recognizes
whether or not the probe is in contact with the protective conductor, and
indicates these two possible conditions by means of different acoustic
signals.
This function is helpful if several protective conductor connections need to
be tested. The function can be activated with the “auto measuring point”
function in the “test sequence setup” menu (see “changes to the switch

18Appendix
18.1 Evaluation of Measured Values for Individual Measurements
as well as for Calculated Quantities
In order to assure that the limit values for the individual measurements
are always observed, device measuring error must be taken into
consideration.
The table in the appendix allows for calculation of the required minimum
display value for each respective measurement which must appear at the
instrument in consideration of measuring error (under nominal conditions
of use), in order to assure that the required limit value is not fallen short of
(DIN VDE 0413, part 1). Intermediate values can be interpolated.
Measuring Error for Test Sequences
The test instrument takes respective measuring error into consideration
during automatic test sequences, and corrected results are entered into
the test report, as long as this function has been activated in the setup
switch position under “include service error”.
