3. PUTTING INTO OPERATION

3.1. Connecting to mains outlet

Use grounded mains outlet only to supply the instrument!

If mains outlet, mains cable, instrument’s case or accessories are damaged, do

not connect the REVEXplus to mains outlet!

The REVEXplus can be powered only from 230 V / 50 ÷ 60 Hz grounded mains, which is protected with a fuse or circuit breaker with a maximum rating of 16 A. The instrument is automatically switched on after plugging in to the mains outlet. Disconnect any equipment under test while connecting/disconnecting the REVEXplus to/from the mains outlet!

The REVEXplus automatically tests protective PE (ground) pin of mains outlet:

1) If PE connection is inadequate, then the (PROTECT) indicator lights up after the REVEXplus is plugged in to mains outlet.

2) If dangerous contact voltage arises on PE, then the (PROTECT) indicator lights up when operator's finger touches the key START. If operator presses the START key for all that, the measurement will not start and message „Prot“ appears on the display.

If test result of ground pin of mains outlet is unsatisfactory, the wrong outlet must be repaired before you plug in the REVEXplus to mentioned outlet again!

3.2. Functionality test

It can be sometimes difficult to identify that the measuring instrument does not work properly, especially during leakage current measurement. The REVEXplus has therefore built in the possibility to promptly test the basic functionality.

Functionality of following functions can be tested:

• Insulation resistance.

• Measurement of substitute leakage current.

• Measurement of differential leakage current (only one L-N polarity).

• Measurement of PE current during operation. (only one L-N polarity).

Disconnect equipment under test before the REVEXplus functionality test!

Functionality test procedure:

• Disconnect equipment under test.

• Use respective key to select the function you are going to test.

• Press the CAL key and release it. The (CAL) indicator lights up.

• Press the START key and release it. The test starts. After it is finished, the result is

displayed and the (CAL) indicator turns off.

User’s Manual REVEXplus, REVEXplus USB

12

• If you test I

PE

or I functions and displayed value is close to 0.000 mA, you must repeat

the test once more after switching the L-N polarity by repetitive press and release of either the IPE or I key. The (INV) indicator lights up in such case.

If the value 2.000 M ÷ 2.600 M is displayed, the insulation resistance measurement is correct. If the value 0.090 mA ÷ 0.110 mA is displayed, the leakage current measurement is correct.

Contact service if the test results differ from the ones described above.

4.1.1. Measurement mode

The instrument enables to accomplish measurements in following three modes:

• One measuring cycle – after the START key is pressed and released, one measuring

cycle starts and it is completed after few seconds. The result of measurement is displayed.

• Continuous measurement – press the START key; measurement is in progress and

current measured values are displayed until the START key is released.

User’s Manual REVEXplus, REVEXplus USB

• Locking of measurement – press the START key and then press the LOCK key.

Release both keys. Measurement is in progress and current measured values are displayed until the START key is again pressed and released.

Measuring process is indicated by (START) indicator.

4.1.2. HOLD function

When measurement is in progress then current measured values are displayed. By press and release of the HOLD key the last measured result is displayed on display even if measurement either ended or continues. The HOLD function is indicated by such way that blinking of the (START) indicator changes to unremitting light. HOLD function can be cancelled (measurement is still in progress) by press and release of the

HOLD key. The (START) indicator then blinks again.

4.2. Earth bond 200 mA - RPE

• Make sure that tested equipment is deenergized – its mains voltage must be

disconnected before starting the measurement!

• Do not connect any external voltage between R

PE

terminal 3 and either PE in

test socket 1 or PE terminal 4.

• If you are going to test equipment which can be charged to voltage > 25V (e.g.

filter capacitors), discharge it before test!

• In case that external voltage is present on appliance under test, the

(PROTECT) indicator turns on and „Prot“ message is displayed. Such status is dangerous fault condition; disconnect equipment under test from the REVEXplus immediately to avoid its damage!

4.2.1. Test lead resistance compensation

Compensation means that the test lead resistance is measured and then automatically memorized and subtracted from all RPE measurements. The real earth bond resistance

is thus displayed. The compensation constant remains in instrument’s memory even if

the instrument is switched off. And so the lead compensation is valid until new compensation is carried out.

Step 2 - measurement

• Press test tip against exposed conductive part of tested appliance.

• Press the START key; measurement starts to run (see chapter 4.1. for measurement

control details). Measurement is indicated by the (START) indicator. If the (CAL) indicator lights on during measurement, it means that test lead resistance is compensated (see chapter 4.2.1. for details).

• After finishing of measurement (the (START) indicator turns off) the lowest measured

value of earth bond resistance is displayed. If only „1“ is displayed (see chapter 5.1 for

details) it means that measured earth bond resistance is higher than maximal value which can be measured by the REVEXplus.

4.3. Insulation resistance - R

ISO



• Make sure tested appliance is deenergized – its mains voltage must be

disconnected before starting of measurement!

• Do not touch exposed conductive parts of tested appliance while measurement

is in progress – RISK OF ELECTRC SHOCK! Measurement in progress is indicated by the (START) indicator.

• Do not disconnect test leads while measurement is in progress or immediately

after finishing the measurement. Capacitive component of tested appliance can be charged to voltage up to 750 V; after the key START is released, this voltage is automatically discharged! If the capacitive component would be so extraordinary high that the discharging circuitry in the REVEXplus would not be able to discharge it to voltage < 50 V, the message „Prot“ would be displayed. Tested appliance must be disconnected from the instrument in this case and its capacitance must be discharged by another alternative safe method.

In case that external voltage is present on tested appliance, measurement will not be carried out. Indicator (PROTECT) turns on and message „Prot“ is displayed.

Step 2 - measurement

• Switch on tested appliance’s mains switch.

• Press the START key; measurement starts to run (see chapter 4.1. for measurement

control details). Measurement is indicated by the (START) indicator. It is recommended to hold the START key pressed 5-10 s (or even longer if displayed result is not stabilized) - the influence of tested appliance’s internal capacitance can be eliminated by this method.

• After finishing of measurement (the (START) indicator turns off) the last measured

value of insulation resistance is displayed. At the same time either indicator (M) or (k) lights up and so the unit of measured insulation resistance is determined.

If only „1“ is displayed (see chapter 5.1 for details) it means that measured insulation

resistance is higher than maximal value which can be measured by the REVEXplus.

4.4. Substitute leakage current - I

SUB



• Make sure tested appliance is deenergized – its mains voltage must be

disconnected before starting of measurement!

• Firstly earth bond resistance (chapter 4.2.) must be tested; it is recommended

to test insulation resistance, too (chapter 4.3.). Then you can execute substitute leakage current measurement!

• Do not touch exposed conductive parts of tested appliance while measurement

is in progress – RISK OF ELECTRC SHOCK! Measurement in progress is indicated by the (START) indicator.

then press and release corresponding key once more in order to turn on the indicator (INV).

• Proceed once more with above described procedure from Step 2, 2nd item.

4.6.2. Protective class I appliances

There is used the same circuitry both for touch leakage current measurement and for leakage current measurement. It means the instrument measures at the same time both mentioned leakage currents. In order to separate these currents it is firstly necessary to measure PE current during operation and memorise its value by means of the I

D



key. Thereafter it is practicable to measure touch leakage current - formerly memorised value is automatically subtracted from the measured total value of leakage current and thus only touch leakage current is displayed.

Step 1 - preparation for measurement

• Connect test lead P2011 with test tip P3011 to the I

D

terminal.

• Accomplish preparation for measurement described in chapter 4.5.1 Step 1.

Step 2 – measurement with L-N default

• Start the procedure described in chapter 4.5.1 Step 2.

• As soon as displayed leakage current is stabilized, press the I

D

 key and release it.

Displayed value is memorized, the (ID) indicator lights up and 0.000 mA is displayed afterwards.

• Press the test tip of the test lead (connected to the I

D

terminal) against exposed conductive part of tested appliance. Measurement of the touch leakage current starts. Formerly memorised value is automatically subtracted from the measured total value of leakage current and thus only touch leakage current is displayed.

• Switch off tested appliance’s mains switch.

• Disconnect voltage from test socket 1 by pressing and releasing of the START key.

The indicator (START) turns off.

Step 3 – measurement with L-N reversal

• Start the procedure described in chapter 4.5.1 Step 3.

• Proceed once more with Step 2.

If the PE leakage current fluctuates and it is unstable during touch leakage current measurement, this fluctuation affects measured value of touch leakage current. In such case we recommend not to use the I

D



key for its memorizing, but to

remember the value which was displayed immediately before pressing of the test tip

against exposed conductive part of tested appliance and to subtract it “manually”.
