DQS certified per

DIN EN ISO 9001:2000

Reg. No.1262

Applications

The PROFITEST 204 tester has been designed for quick, safe
testing of electrical and electronic equipment and systems at
machinery in accordance with DIN EN 60204-1 and VDE 0113
with nominal voltages of up to 1000 V.
The following periodic tests must be performed in accordance
with the standard:
– Testing for continuity at connections within the

protective conductor system with 10 A test current

– Insulation resistance test
– Voltage tests (optionally HP or HV)
– Testing for residual voltage

Beyond this, the following tests and measurements
may be performed as well:
– Leakage current test

– Voltage measurement
– Frequency measurement

All values required for approval reports can be measured with this
instrument.

Display

The LCD window consists of an illuminated dot matrix display at
which menus, device settings and measurement results, as well
as online help can be displayed.

Help Key

Information regarding the current menu item can be queried with
this key. Online help texts appears at the LCD window.

Function Selector Switch

Testing, report generating and data management functions are
selected with the rotary switch.

Limit Values

Limit values can be assigned for use with each measurement,
allowing for individualized adaptation of the various tests to
prevailing local conditions, as well as to the latest requirements
set forth in the standards.

Data Memory

Depending upon the number of systems for which data logging is
performed (max. 254), up to 2800 measurements can be saved
to memory.

Remote Control

The test probe with integrated control panel allows for remote
control of protective conductor and insulation resistance mea­surements, as well as storage of the respective values to memory.
Integrated lamps indicate measurement progress status.
All PROFITEST 204 operating functions can also be controlled via
the RS 232 interface. Signal and display values can be remote
queried as well.

RS 232 Interface for Input Module and PC

This port provides for data transmission and the supply of
electrical power to the optionally available SECUTEST⏐SI input
module.
Other devices (e.g. a PC) can also be connected to this port with
the help of an interface cable.

Any commercially available printer can be connected to this data
interface (except for PostScript printers). Detailed report forms
which have been uploaded to the instrument can be read out via
this port.

tester

Instead of starting individual tests manually, you can perform auto­matic test sequences with the PROFITEST 204/MetraMachine 204
tester by means of the PC software Remote 204.

This includes the creation of control files, the execution of the
tests in accordance with the control files, the preparation of test
reports as well as the export of data. The format supported by the
software is easy to read in and process by all common spread­sheet programs.

In detail, Remote 204 includes the following functions:

• 3 different user interface languages are offered for choice,

• 2 serial ports are supported for activation of the
PROFITEST 204,

• read out information on the test instrument,

• select control file for the test,

• create new control files or modify existing ones,

• perform tests automatically by menu control mode,

• skip, interrupt and continue tests,

• prepare new report templates or modify existing ones,

• store test data either manually or automatically,

• print test data in test reports,

• convert data into a common spreadsheet format,

• display online user manual,

• control files of the DOS program PROFI SPS 204 can be
used.

PS3 Intelligent Modular Software for Test Instruments

Measurement data acquired with test instruments is transferred to
PS3 and are then automatically assigned to activities such as
testing, maintenance or inspection. Ready-to-sign test and work
reports can thus be prepared with a minimum of effort.

The basic module and the device module are sufficient for stan­dard requirements such as reading in measurement data and
report printing.

Additional requirements such as following up on deadlines, test
data history, data selection and list generation, right on up to
complete object management (devices and buildings) with inven­tory management, errors indication, work orders and repairs are
handled with the expansion module and with add-on modules.

An overview of all of the features included with this software is
given on our website.
