Note
The SI (Storage Interface) module SECUTEST SI+ is a special accessory
for the the following test instruments:
SECUTEST..., SECULIFE ST, PROFITEST 204 and METRISO 5000 D-PI.
It is installed in the lid of the tester and fastened with two knurled screws.
The test results determined with the test instrument are directly transferred to the SI module via the ribbon line.
1.1 Application SECUTEST...
All measured values for approximately 300 reports (amount of one working day) can be stored in this memory.
Via a serial RS232 port or an USB interface, the stored measured values
can be transferred from the SECUTEST SI+ to the PC, archived and pro-
cessed there with our software packages (e.g. for the preparation of
invoices), or printed directly into a pre-made form.
6 GMC-I Messtechnik GmbH
Transmission of the data from the memory of the SI module to the
PC via the RS232 or USB interface is only possible when the SI
module is connected to the test instrument.
Data transmission from the memory of the SI module to the PC
via USB interface is only possible if you have installed the
required device driver to your PC via the Driver Control software.

2 Safety Features and Safety Precautions
!
!
When the SECUTEST SI+ is properly used, the safety of both the user and
the unit is assured.
In order to meet the legal regulations for electromagnetic compatibility
(EMC), an electrically conductive plastic material is used for the housing for
shielding. Touching of the SI module under normal operation causes no danger as contact-hazardous voltages do not occur in the
Attention!
The housing of the SI 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.

.
Data Backup (only instruments of the SECUTEST... series)
The measurement, report and entry data can be safely stored in the
RAM of the SECUTEST SI+ storage module.
We advise you to regularly transmit your stored data to a PC in order to
prevent potential loss of data in the storage module.
We assume no liability for any data loss.
For data processing and management we recommend our software
packages, see page 7.

3 Getting Started
3.1 Installing the SI Module
➭ SECUTEST... only: Remove the cover from the lid of the SECUTEST.... For
this purpose, press the cover to the side.
➭ Insert the SI module into the lid and fasten it with the two knurled re-
taining screws.
➭ Connect the module to the connection socket of the RS232 interface
of the test instrument via the ribbon cable.
➭ SECUTEST... only: Below the SI module there is a compartment provided
in the lid for the storage of the probe lead. Lock the flap inserted in the
module on the hinge of the lid so that the probe lead will not fall out
when the lid is closed.
3.2 Activating the SI Module
To activate the SI module, a connection to the RS232 interface of the
SECUTEST... must be established and the test instrument must be connected to the mains.

Note
STORE
MENU
The test report automatically contains the test result including the measured and limit values as well as information on the visual inspection.
Storage of the results of the safety and function tests as well as their
entry into reports and statistics is only possible after tests have been
performed.
Exception: the function switch is in the „MENUE“ position (older
versions: also „FUNCTION-TEST“). In this position only the
result of the last function test can be stored.
You can load the result of the last test into the SI module and store it
there under an Ident Number. The report of the last test can be printed
out several times.
The results of a complete working day (approximately 300 reports) can
be stored in the memory of the SI module. Pressing the key
several times makes for the same data record to be overwritten again
and again.
