Basic Operation – Pro-Lite 16th

PowerSuite Professional Pro-Lite 16th has been designed to work in conjunction with the Megger storage instruments CM500, BMM/LCB, MIT330, LTW335, RCDT330 and the Megger MFT1553 to produce installation testing certification in a variety of ways.

The CM500, BMM/LCB, MIT330, LTW335, RCDT330 test instruments store test result data and this data is downloaded via an RS232 cable and then further processed in PowerSuite. The MFT1553 transfers real time test results via Bluetooth directly into your test certificates.

Program Flow

Although there are many ways to operate the Pro-Lite 16th software, the recommended procedure is as follows:

1. Run the Contact Wizard to set up your client and location structure

2. * Test the installation and store the results on the instrument

3. * Run Download Wizard and extract the test results from the instrument

4. * Edit the download file, split jobs/db’s and remove unwanted tests

5. Run the Certificate Wizard and create the required test certificate

6. * Select a download file to automatically create test results

7. Edit and complete certificate details

8. ~ Real time Bluetooth transfer of results into the test schedule

9. Validate certificate if required (NICEIC Installation, Minor Works and Periodic)

* CM500, BMM/LCB, MIT330, LTW335, RCDT330 ~ MFT1553 only

Contact Wizard

PowerSuite allows you to set up a tree structure of ‘COMPANY’, ‘CLIENT’ and ‘LOCATION’ to store your final certification. You can set up as many ‘CLIENT’ contacts as you wish under your ‘COMPANY’ contact and as many ‘LOCATION’ contacts as you wish against your ‘CLIENT’ contacts.

Click the contact wizard button to setup new client and location contacts in PowerSuite.

Follow the screen prompts ensuring that you first select to add a ‘CLIENT’ contact. Once the ‘CLIENT’ contact has been added, you will be prompted to add ‘LOCATION’ contacts against it. Ensure that each client is added to the contact tree under the ‘COMPANY’ contact.

Download Wizard (CM500, BMM/LCB, MIT330, LTW335, RCDT330)

The download wizard will transfer the test results from the selected storage instrument and create download files in the appropriate instrument ‘Inbox’ in the Download Manager window. Before you download ensure that you have the correct cable attached between the test instrument and pc/laptop.

Click the large download wizard button on the main PowerSuite screen and follow the prompts to select the required instrument. The download screen will indicate that PowerSuite is ready and give you appropriate on screen instructions to start the download.

A new download file will be created in the appropriate ‘Inbox’. The current date and time stamp will be used as the file name.

Edit the Download File

The download file may contain data from more than one job or distribution board. You may wish to split up the file if you wish to process the data on individual certificates or just delete some unwanted tests.

If you double click on a download file it will be loaded into the CSV Viewer program.

You can sort the file simply by right clicking on one of the column headings and selecting ‘Quick Sort’. You can then highlight a group of records and use the ‘Save Selection’ option from the ‘File’ menu to create a new file for the selected group of records. You can also press the ‘Delete’ button to remove the selected records.

Click the close button once you have finished editing the file.

Certificate Wizard

The certificate wizard is used to create new certificates and to optionally import selected test results from download manager files.

Before you create a new certificate, ensure that you highlight the correct location contact in the contact tree by clicking on it.

Click the certificate wizard button and select the style of certificate you require. You will be prompted to select a download file to import into the certificate.

If you do not have any data to import you can select the (No Data) option.

The next available certificate number for the type of certificate you are creating will then be displayed and you can override this number if you wish. The certificate will be created and displayed on screen and any selected test data will be automatically imported.

Edit and Complete Certificate Details

Complete the certificate by tabbing around the fields on the form and enter data using the keyboard or selecting items from the available drop down lists.

The certificate may be printed at any time by clicking the print button on the toolbar.

The certificate may have more than one page and you can easily switch between pages using the page controls.

Megger MFT1553 - Real Time Bluetooth Transfer

The Pro-Lite 16th software is capable of accepting real time test results transferred via Bluetooth from the Megger MFT1553 test instrument.

These results are most common with BS7671 electrical test schedules where results are recorded in a tabulated circuit by circuit format.

See the section entitled ‘Megger MFT1553 – Transferring Real Time Data’ for instructions on how to use this feature.

Editing Existing Certificates

To load an existing certificate, first highlight the location contact and select the ‘Edit/View an Existing Certificate’ tab.

Double click on the required certificate to load it for reviewing, editing and final printing.

NICEIC Computer Friendly Forms

PowerSuite has built in support for the completion, validation (where applicable) and printing of NICEIC pre-printed computer friendly forms. The ‘Certificate Manager’ tab in the preferences program stores NICEIC specific details and allows you to set the next certificate numbers for all the certificate types. The certificate number can be edited on screen to ensure that it matches up with the number on the pre-printed certificate.

To run the preferences program select the ‘Preferences…’ option from the ‘Settings’ menu and click the ‘Certificate Manager’ tab.

NICEIC Validation and Print Alignment

NICEIC Minor Works, Periodic and Electrical Installation certificates have built in validation formulas. Once the certificate has been completed it is saved (with the option of validating it) and it can then be printed out directly onto the pre-printed stationery. You can also run the validation option by highlighting the certificate in the ‘Edit/View an Existing Certificate’ tab and clicking the validation button on the certificate manager toolbar.

It is recommended that you follow the Print Alignment procedure (available from the PowerSuite Professional program group on the Windows start menu) before printing directly onto the NICEIC forms. It is also a good idea to generate and print a couple of test certificates onto plain paper to double check the alignment before going live with the pre-printed certificates.

The computer friendly forms provided by the NICEIC have two copies of each page, a White copy and a Yellow copy. The copies must be split up into their respective coloured sets before they are passed through the printer. You can then insert the White copies into the printer and print the certificate, followed by the Yellow copies and re-print the certificate.

Megger MFT1553 - Transferring Real Time Data

Fields that can accept data automatically from the test instrument may be

colour coded to match the type of test on the instrument.

To transfer a result from the instrument to the Pro-Lite 16th software, first ensure that the certificate has been loaded and the test results page is displayed. Then select the circuit to transfer the results into by highlighting one of the fields on the required row e.g. circuit id or description. Next perform the required test on the MFT1553 and ensure that the result is displayed on the instrument display.

Press the small Red lock button on the MFT1553 Image 91 to cycle round the available result types if applicable. (You will not need to perform this step for rcd results)

If you skip past the required result type you can continue to press the lock button and cycle around again.

Once the required result type has been chosen, hold down the lock button until the result starts to flash on the MFT screen (a couple of seconds). A beep will be emitted from the test instrument, and your pc or laptop (if you have the system sounds enabled) will respond with a beep and the test result will be transferred, decoded and displayed in the appropriate field on the selected row.

The time taken from holding down the lock button to the result being displayed on the pc or laptop will vary depending on how quickly the Bluetooth communications can be established and how quickly the pc or laptop can decode and translate the data. Typically the process will take no more than a few seconds.

If you are using a Mobile Device, the very first time that the Bluetooth connection is established, you may see an authorisation prompt asking if you would to allow the device to connect along with a check box to always allow the device to connect. You will need to check the “always allow” box and accept the prompt to receive subsequent data from the MFT1553 without the authorisation screen being displayed again.

You can force a result into a particular field by double clicking on it first and then transfer the result as previously described.

If a result already exists you will be prompted to overwrite the existing result with the new result or to retain the existing result.

N.B. For further information on the initial pairing procedure between the MTF1553 and your pc or laptop please consult the Megger MFT1553 - Pairing Procedure section in this user guide.
