1 Applications
The PSI (Printer Storage Interface) module is a special accessory for the SECUTEST 0701S appliance
tester. It is installed in the lid of the SECUTEST 0701S and fastened with two knurled screws (5).
The test results determined with the SECUTEST 0701S a ccordi ng to DIN VDE 0701 are directly transferred to the PSI module via the ribbon line (8) and stored there. All measured values for approximately 200 protocols (amount of one working day) can be stored in this memory.
Printing out of the test results can be made di rectly at the site in the form of clear hardcopy measurement and test protocols including date, time and texts entered from the keyboard.
Via a serial RS-232 port (4), the stored measured values can be transferred from the SECUTEST PSI
to the PC and archived, processed there (e.g. for the preparation of invoices), or printed directly into
a pre-made form. Transmission of the data to the PC is also possible without the appliance tester.

2 Safety features and safety precautions
When the SECUTEST PSI is properly used, the safety of both the user and the unit is assured.
In order to meet the legal rules for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), an electrically conductive
plastic material is used for the case for shielding. Touching of the PSI modul e under normal ope ration
causes no danger as contact-hazardous voltages do not appear in the printer.
Caution!
The case of the PSI module has electrically conductive characteristics that are similar
!
to those of metal. It must not come into connection with live parts.
Read the operating instructions carefully and completely before you use your unit and follow them in
all respects.
Meaning of the symbol on the unit
The symbol on the unit has the following meaning:
Warning of danger
(Attention, note documentation!)

3 Getting started
3.1 Installing ribbon and batteries
Before getting started insert the ribbon (see section 13.4, page 40).
To store the data in the PSI module and to transmit the data to the PC, four commercially available
1.5 V Mignon cells according to IEC LR 6 are required when the PSI module is not powered from the
appliance tester.
Always replace the complete battery set. Dispose of the batteries in a way that protects the environment.
The battery compartment (10) is located at the rear of the printer.
8 GOSSEN-METRAWATT
Note
Only alkaline-manganese cells that comply with the IEC LR 6 standard are to be used.
The use of manganese-dioxide cells is not recommended as their lifespan is too short.
Free the catch by exerting lateral pressure on the clamping bow of the cover of the battery compartment and remove the cover. The battery holder falls out of the battery compartment when you
tilt the module.
Insert four 1.5 V Mignon cells into the battery holder with correct polarity according to the given
symbols.
Insert the equipped battery holder into the battery compartment.
Attach the cover of the battery compartment to the battery compartment and engage it by exerting a slight pressure.
Note
When replacing the batteries, stored data is saved in the memory even if no voltage is
applied for about 5 minutes.
If no batteries were inserted for a longer period of time, e.g. after delivery from the factory, a reset should be perf ormed. This makes for a defin ed condition to the es tablished.
See combined keyboard instructions on page 3 for making a reset.
3.2 Installing the PSI module
From the lid of the SECUTEST 0701S, remove the cover on which the symbols are printed. For
this purpose, press the cover to the side.
Insert the PSI module into the lid and fasten it with the two knurled retaining screws (5).
Connect the module to the connection socket of the RS-232 interface of the appliance tester via
the ribbon cable (8).
Below the PSI module there is a compartment provided for th e storage of the probe lead. Lo ck the
flap (18) inserted in the module o n the hinge of the lid so that the pr obe lead will not fal l ou t when
the lid is closed.
3.3 Activating the PSI module
To activate the PSI module, a connection to the RS-232 interface of the SECUTEST 0701S must be
made and the appliance tester must be connected to the line.
Press once (17)
Selection and execution of the functions listed in the menu is made by means of the corresponding
keys on the appliance tester.
PRINT
The other operating controls and c onnectors should remain unchan ged while the PSI modu le is ac tive
so that the data traffic will not be disturbed.
The menu item "Return" causes a return to the display presented prior to activating the PSI module.
The display shows that 10 % of the storage capacity are already occupied. When 99% of the
memory are filled, the memory should be cleared and deleted (storage space for approximately
5 protocols left).

each are available.
The top and bottom lines are the same for all test results in the memory.
Enter the texts from the keyboard.

5 How to display, print and store protocol
You can load the result of the last te st according to DIN VD E 0701 at a time into the P SI module, store
it there under an Ident Number, enter it and print it out. The protocol of the last test can be printed
out several times.
The results of a complete working day (approximately 200 protoco ls) c an be s tored in the memory of
the PSI module. Pressing the key (15) several times makes for the same record to be
overwritten again and again.
The test protocol automatically contains the test result including the measured values and limits as
well as information on the visual inspection. Further specific information on device under test, customer and repair can be integrated i n the test protocol by entries from the k eyboa rd or v ia a bar co de
reader (see section 7, page 20).
The protocol is presented on the LCD in several windows.
12 GOSSEN-METRAWATT
Note
Storage of the results of the safety and function tests as well as their entry into pro-
tocol and statistics is only possible after tests according to DIN VDE 0701; that is,
the function switch must be set the "AUTO", "SK I", "SK II", "SK III" or "T 240"
position!
With the switch set to "MENU" and "FUNCTION TEST", only the display shown on the
LCD at a time can be printed out and the result of the last function test at a time can be
stored (see section 10, page 34).
