1 Applications
1.1 PROFITEST 204+
The PROFITEST 204+ test instrument is used for quick and safe
testing of electrical and electronic equipment and systems at
machinery in accordance with DIN VDE 0113/EN 60204-1.
The following initial and periodic tests must be performed in
accordance with these regulations:
• Testing for continuity of the protective conductor circuit with a
test current of at least 10 A
• Insulation resistance test
• Voltage test (optional PROFITEST 204HP/HV)
• Testing for residual voltage
Beyond this, other tests can be performed which are not required
for the safety of electrical equipment at machinery, but which
nevertheless supplement the instrument in a practical fashion:
• Measurement of electrostatic discharge capacity for floor
coverings in accordance with DIN 51953
• Leakage current test for the substantiation of the absence of
voltage
• Voltage and frequency measurements
All values required for approval reports can be measured with this
instrument.
The optional SECUTEST SI+ module (an input module which can be
set into the lid of the instrument and which is equipped with an
integrated interface and keypad) expands the applications range
of the PROFITEST 204+.
All measured data can be archived with the measuring and test
report which can be printed out directly or at a PC. This is
especially important where product liability is concerned.
1.2 PROFITEST 204L
The PROFITEST 204L test instrument has been furnished with
an extra-long measurement and control cable, allowing for
comfortable use at large machines and machine components.
Please note that use of the LEADEX 204 extension cable is
only possible to a restricted extent as a result of this extra-long
measurement cable.
Due to the additional, relatively high ohmic resistance of the
LEADEX 204 extension cable, the minimum test current of
10 A AC as specified by EN 60204 may be fallen short of under
certain circumstances, causing the instrument to abort the test
and display a corresponding message. As a rule, this does not
occur during use of the LEADEX 204 extension cable until
protective conductor resistance at the device under test has
reached a value of 200 m or greater. This effect may even occur
with relatively low line voltage values (less than 210 V).
If you require longer measurement cables than those supplied
with the PROFITEST 204L for your application, we recommend the
use of extension cables with a significantly larger
cross-section.
Our product support team (see address on page 74) would be
happy to assist you with any questions you may have.

regulations (e.g. IEC 60364, VDE 0100) and are protected with
a fuse or circuit breaker with a maximum rating of 16 A.
• Be prepared for the occurrence of unexpected voltages at
devices under test (for example, capacitors may be
dangerously charged).
• Make certain that connector cables, measurement cables and
test cables are in flawless condition, e.g. no damage to
insulation, no interruptions in cables or plugs, no kinks etc
.
• Impulse withstand voltages of up to 2.5 kV may occur in
overvoltage category II systems with 230/400 V.
The PROFITEST 204+ basic instrument and the PROFITEST 204HP and HV
high-voltage modules may not be operated:

2.2 Special Safety Precautions and Instructions for the
PROFITEST 204HP/HV High-Voltage Module
Precautions for the prevention of unauthorized activation:
•Key Switch
Precautions for the prevention of unintentional activation:
• Multiple Key Operation:
It is only possible to activate test voltage with the trigger at the
high-voltage pistol with switch, after pressing the start key at
the basic instrument.
• Two-Hand Operation:
Each of the high-voltage pistols is equipped with its own
trigger. The test probes are only made accessible when both
triggers are pulled and held simultaneously.
• High-Voltage Pistol with Switch (pistol with yellow marking)
Includes double safety feature:
The test probe is made accessible after the trigger at the
high-voltage pistol with switch has been pulled to its initial
mechanical limit stop. High-voltage is not switched to the test
probe until the trigger is pulled beyond this position, assuming
the instrument is in the “ready to activate” state.
General Safety Precautions
• Integrated signal lamps identify the operating status of the test instrument.
• Test voltage is electrically isolated from mains power. This
prevents heavy current from flowing to ground via the
high-voltage pistol with switch.
• Current Limiting in the Event of Sparkover:
If the current limiting value entered as a parameter is exceeded
in the event of sparkover, the instrument is automatically
switched to the stand-by mode.
• The instrument is automatically switched to the stand-by mode
when power is restored after a mains failure.
!
Attention!
The ventilation slots at the bottom of the high-voltage
module and at the connector panel of the basic
instrument must remain unobstructed!
GMC-I Messtechnik GmbH 13
!
Attention!
Observe regulations set forth in EN 50191,
“Erection and operation of electrical test equipment”.
!
Attention!
If safety test probes are used, the operator must make
certain that the probe tips and the connector cables are
in flawless condition before beginning work.
All utilized equipment must be inspected for visibly
apparent external damage and defects before use (see
chapter 11.2, page 66, through chapter 11.4, page 67).
!
Attention!
Make sure that all points of access to the danger zone
have been secured before testing is started, and that no
persons remain within the danger zone when the system
is made ready for activation.
Danger: High-Voltage!
The test probe is made accessible after the trigger at
the high-voltage pistol with switch has been pulled to its
initial mechanical limit stop. High-voltage is not switched
to the test probe until the trigger is pulled beyond this
position, assuming the instrument is in the “ready to
activate” state.
Danger: High-Voltage!
Touch neither the test probes nor the device under test
during the voltage test!
A life endangering high-voltage of up to 5kV is present at
the high-voltage module test probes!
Exclusion of Liability
In the event of a sparkover, PCs which are operated in proximity
may crash, causing data loss in the process. Please therefore
ensure, prior to conducting the high-voltage test, that all data and
programs are saved appropriately and that the computer is
switched off, if necessary. This phenomenon may even occur
without an RS232 connection.
The manufacturer of the test instrument assumes no liability for
any direct or indirect damage to computers, peripheral equipment
or data stocks in connection with the execution of high-voltage
tests.
Furthermore, the manufacturer assumes no liability for defects in
DUTs caused by high-voltage tests. This applies especially for
electronic components within devices.
Please also observe the checklist for high-voltage tests given in chapter
12.1.

3.3 Connecting the PROFITEST 204+ to 230 V Mains Power
➭ Connect the test instrument to 230 V mains power with the
attached mains connection line (connection 22 at the instrument).
If an earthing contact outlet is unavailable, or if only a 3-phase
outlet is available, the phase conductor, the neutral conductor
and the protective conductor can be connected with the help
of the socket adapter. The socket adapter is equipped with
three permanently attached cables and is included as part of
the KS13 cable set, which is available as an accessory.
!
Attention!
If a connection via earthing contact outlet is not possible,
disconnect the mains from all sources of voltage before
connecting the cables of the coupling socket via pick-up
clips with the mains connections, as shown in the drawing.
!
Attention!
The recessed outlet at the basic instrument is used to
supply power to the HP/HV high-voltage module.
If this outlet is used for any other purpose, current
consumption may not exceed 6 A.
3.4 Connecting the High-Voltage Module to 230 V Mains Power
Connect the recessed outlet at the basic instrument to the inlet
plug at the high-voltage module with the included power cable.
The high-voltage module can also be connected directly to 230 V
mains power.

Error Messages and their Meanings
Test results OK or option installed (high-voltage module)
Error message: Test failed, device under test defective or
option not installed
ROM Checksum
A software error may have occurred. Install the included system
software to the test instrument again. If problems persist, we
recommend calling our product support hotline.
CAL Checksum
This portion of the self-test examines the calibration subassembly.
Even if the CAL checksum is OK, this does not mean that the
PROFITEST 204+ need not be calibrated in accordance with the
prescribed schedule.
If this portion of the self-test is failed, the instrument must be
returned to the manufacturer for re-calibration.
Temperature Inside the Test Instrument
The temperature limit has been intermittently exceeded inside the
instrument. The measuring mode is disabled until the temperature
drops back into the allowable range.
Do not start the next measurement until the temperature error has
been cleared.
High-Voltage Module
An installed high-voltage module is recognized automatically.
Proceed as follows if an error message is read out for this portion
of the self-test, even though a high-voltage module has been connected:
Check the connections at both instruments and, above all, make
sure that the signal tubes at the high-voltage module have not
been obstructed or covered.
