SECULIFE ST PRO Safety Precautions

1 Safety Precautions

SECUTEST BASE(10), SECUTEST PRO and
SECULIFE ST BASE(25) test instruments are

manufactured and tested in accordance with
the following safety regulations:
IEC/EN 61010-1 / VDE 0411-1, DIN VDE
0404, IEC/EN 61577 / VDE 0413-2,-4 / DIN
EN 61557-16 / VDE 0413-16

The safety of the user, the test instrument
and the device under test (electrical equip­ment or electrical medical device) is only
assured when the instrument is used for its
intended purpose.

Read these condensed operating instructions and
the full operating instructions carefully and com­pletely before placing your test instrument into
service (available at our homepage www.gossen­metrawatt.com for download). Follow all instruc­tions contained therein. Make sure that the oper­ating instructions are available to all users of the
instrument.

Tests may only be performed by a qualified
electrician, or under the supervision and
direction of a qualified electrician. The user
must be instructed by a qualified electrician
concerning performance and evaluation of
the test.

Suitable personal safety equipment is
required.
If you use any active or passive implanted
medical devices, please consult your doctor
or the manufacturer of these devices.

Manufacturers and importers of electrical
medical devices must provide documen­tation for the performance of mainte­nance by trained personnel.

Observe the following safety precautions:

• The instrument may only be connected
to electrical systems (TN, TT or IT) with a
maximum of 240 V which complies with
applicable safety regulations (e.g. IEC
60346, VDE 0100) and is protected with
a fuse or circuit breaker with a maximum
rating of 16 A.

• Measurements within electrical systems
are prohibited.

• Be prepared for the occurrence of unex­pected voltages at devices under test (for
example, capacitors can be dangerously
charged).

• Make certain that the measurement
cables are in flawless condition, e.g. no
damage to insulation, no cracks in
cables or plugs etc.

• When using a test probe with coil cord
(SK2W):
Grip the tip of the test probe firmly, for
example during insertion into a jack
socket. Tensioning at the coil cord may
otherwise cause the test probe to snap
back resulting in possible injury.

• Measurement of insulation resistance and

equivalent leakage current (leakage current
alternative measuring methods)

Testing is conducted with up to 500 V.
Current limiting is utilized (I < 3.5 mA),
but if terminals L or N at the test socket
are touched, electrical shock may occur
which could result in consequential acci­dents.

• Leakage current measurement during opera-
tion with line voltage: Please note that the
device under test is operated with line
voltage during measurement. Exposed
conductive parts may conduct danger­ous touch voltage during testing. Do not
touch under any circumstances! (Mains
power is disconnected if leakage current
exceeds approx. 10 mA.)

The function test may only be per­formed after the DUT has successfully
passed the safety test!

• Probe check for probe connector P1: Please
perform a probe check after each test.

If there is a fuse defect in test probe
P1 after having started the test, all
subsequent measurements which
are performed with this measure­ment path might be erroneously
rated as good!

SECULIFE ST PRO Safety Precautions

Fuse replacement

The fuses may only be replaced when the
instrument is voltage-free, i.e. the instrument
must be disconnected from mains supply
power and may not be connected to a mea­suring circuit. The fuse type must comply
with the specifications in the technical data
or the labeling on the instrument.

Opening the instrument / repairs

The instrument may only be opened by
authorized, trained personnel in order to
ensure flawless operation and to assure that
the guarantee is not rendered null and void.
Even original replacement parts may only be
installed by authorized, trained personnel.
If it can be ascertained that the instrument
has been opened by unauthorized person­nel, no guarantee claims can be honored by
the manufacturer with regard to personal
safety, measuring accuracy, compliance
with applicable safety measures or any con­sequential damages.

Any warranty claims will be forfeited when
the warranty seal has been damaged or
removed.

Switching power consumers (max. 16 A*)

Be absolutely sure to adhere to the
sequence specified below when switching
the live device under test. This prevents
excessive wear of the mains relays at the
test instrument.

The test instrument may not be used:

• If external damage is apparent, for example
if parts which conduct dangerous touch
voltage are freely accessible, if the display
is broken or defective (in which case dan­gerous voltage or mains connection errors
might no longer be indicated)

• If the seal or sealing lacquer has been
removed as the result of repairs or manipu­lation carried out by a non-authorized/non­certified service provider.

• With damaged connection and/or mea­surement cables and patient ports, e.g.
interrupted insulation or kinked cable

• If the instrument no longer functions flawlessly

• After serious damage due to transport

In such cases, the instrument must be
removed from operation and secured
against unintentional use.

SECULIFE ST PRO Initial Start-Up

2 Initial Start-Up

2.1 Mains Connection

Nominal mains values: 100 to 240 V, 50 Hz to 400 Hz

➭ Connect the test instrument to the mains

cable via its inlet plug and insert the
mains plug into an electrical outlet. The
function selector switch can be set to
any position. If a mains outlet (earthing
contact outlet) is not available, or if only a
3-phase outlet is available, the adapter
socket can be used to connect the
phase conductor, the neutral conductor
and the protective conductor. The
adapter socket has three permanently
attached cables and is included with the
KS13 cable set (see wiring diagram in
the operating instructions).

If connection is not possible via an
earthing contact outlet: Shut down
mains power first. Then connect the
cables from the coupling socket to
the mains using pick-off clips in ac­cordance with the diagram. Discon­nection from mains power is only
possible with the mains plug.

Measurements in IT Systems (as from FW 1.5.0)

The setting IT system can be activated in
selector switch position SETUP (Setup 1/3)
under sub-menu All Measurement:

Parameter „Meas. at IT-mains“ = Yes: active
leakage current measurements (and/or all
measurements which include the PE at the
mains connection end) are blocked. Test
sequences which contain such kind of mea­surements are disabled as well.

2.2 Detection of Mains Connection Errors

The device automatically recognizes mains
connection errors if the conditions in the fol­lowing table have been fulfilled. The user is
informed of the type of error, and all measuring
functions are disabled in the event of danger.

key. The Save as symbol appears
(floppy disk icon with the number
of measured values saved to the
clipboard).

6 If you press the save symbol now,

the display is switched to the SAVE
view, where the pre-selected (ME)
device is highlighted.

7 After pressing the Save symbol

once again, acknowledgement of
successful storage appears. At the
same time, the display returns to the
measuring view.

Procedure for measuring with save function and

subsequent entry of the (ME) device

As an alternative to the procedure described

above, you can start with step 4 and, after

measurement has been completed, assign

the results to a (ME) device or its ID number

which is included in the database: manually

by selecting ID and entering the ID via the

alphanumeric keyboard, or by scanning a

barcode.

SECULIFE ST PRO Test Sequences in Accordance with Standards

9 Test Sequences in Accordance

with Standards

If the same sequence of single tests will be
run frequently (one after the other with sub­sequent report generation), for example as
specified in the standards, it’s advisable to
make use of test sequences. Limit values
have been entered for test sequences in
accordance with standards. And thus a go/
no-go evaluation takes place during mea­surement based on worst-case assessment.
If the momentary measured value is dis­played in green, it lies within the limit values
specified in the standard. If the measured
value is red, is does not fulfill the require­ments set forth in the standard. If the mea­sured value is shown in amber, further entries
are required. Even if the DUT fails just a sin­gle test step, the test sequence is aborted
and testing in accordance with the selected
standard is failed.

9.1 General Procedure

1 Select the desired test sequence with

the rotary switch (AUTO, A1 ... A9).

2 If no test object has been selected, enter

the ID number of the test object, for
example by means of a barcode scan­ner, after selecting ID.

3 As an alternative to step 2, activate

the database view with the MEM key:

4 Select the test object with the scroll

keys.

5 Return to the measuring view by

pressing the ESC key.

6 Start the test sequence with the

START/STOP key.

7 The measured value recording

symbol shown at the right appears.
Each time this key is pressed, the mea­suring or evaluation procedure is
restarted (see case B in section 9.2).

8 Proceed to the next measurement by

pressing the key shown to the right.

9 At the end of the test sequence,

you can generate a list of the
results of the individual test steps.

10 If you want to view details such as

the settings for the individual test
steps, select the desired measurement
with the cursor and press the + magnify-
ing glass key.

11 The display is returned to the list of

test steps by pressing the – magnify-
ing glass key.

12 Save the results of a successful test

sequence by pressing the Save key.

9.2 Evaluation Procedure

The evaluation procedure can be started man­ually for some test steps within a given test
sequence, but all others are run automatically.

• Case A – automatic triggering of evaluation:

Evaluation (with a duration of, for example,
5 seconds) is started automatically as
soon as the measured value has stabi­lized. The worst value which occurs during
this duration is saved, and automatic
switching to the next test step ensues.

•

Case B – manual triggering of evaluation:

Evaluation is started after pressing
the measurement value recording sym­bol (display: 0). After a specified period
of time has elapsed, the worst value is
saved to the right of wc: (worst case),
and the number 1 is displayed in the
measurement value recording symbol
indicating that the first measured value
has been saved. Pressing the measured
value recording icon again restarts the
evaluation procedure. If the worst value
is worse that the value obtained for the
previous measurement, the new value is
used. However, if this value is better than
the previous worst value, the original
value remains in the display. Depending
on whether you want to delete the last
value saved to the clipboard or all values,
press the symbol shown below an
appropriate number of times.
Proceed to the next test by press­ing the symbol shown to the right.

The following checks are run auto­matically before the test sequence
is started:

• Probe test P1 (whether or not the probe
is connected and if fuse P1 is OK)

• Insulation test (whether or not the DUT is
set up in a well-insulated fashion)

• On test and short-circuit test.
In order to be able to detect a short-cir­cuit at the DUT, testing is conducted
between L and N, as well as LN and PE.

If you’ve set the „

Detected classification

“
parameter for the respective test
sequence to „Always accept“ and the
„

following additional checks will be run before
the test sequence is started:

• Protection class detection for DUTs with

protective conductor

• Connection check: whether or not the

DUT is connected to the test socket. In
the case of protection class I: whether or
not the two protective conductor termi­nals are short-circuited.
