6 Measurements
6.1 Earth bond resistance
This test ensures that the connections between the protective conductor terminal in the
mains plug of the appliance and any accessible conductive parts of the appliance (metal
housing) are satisfactory and of sufficiently low resistance. This test has to be
performed on Class 1 (earthed) appliances.
A high current is normally used to check that the connections will operate correctly
under fault conditions. In some sensitive electronic equipment such as computers and
other information technology equipment that contain a functional earthing arrangement,
a high current test can damage the equipment. In this situation, a 200 mA test current is
used to prevent damage to the internal components of the appliance.
The instrument measures the resistance between test socket‘s PE terminal and earth
bond clip (connected to socket S of the appliance).

7 Autotest sequences
Autotest is the fastest and easiest way to test appliances. A pre-programmed autotest
sequence runs all the tests needed for verifying that the selected appliance is safe to
use. The complete autotest results can be stored together with their associated
appliance name and all related information.
7.1 Autotest shortcut menu
In this autotest menu any of the pre-defined autotest procedures can be selected. Pre-
programmed sequences cover almost all in-service tests, regardless of appliance type
and safety class.
All limits and tests are in compliance with currently valid standards and regulations. In
case of any changes, new firmware will be available at your distributor or from Metrel
directly.
The Autotest shortcut sequences depend on the OmegaPATPlus / BetaPATPlus model.
The complete list of autotest shortcut sequences can be found in Appendices A and B
of this manual.
7.1.1 Selecting the autotest shortcut sequence
From the Main menu select Autotest shortcut by using ¿ and À cursor keys, and
press ENTER key to confirm. Autotest shortcut menu is displayed.

7.3 Project autotests
The Project autotests is a unique tool that dramatically simplifies and speeds up
repeated (periodic) testing of appliances.
The main idea is to re-use known stored data (either in instrument or on a PC) of the
tested appliance. The following data can be recalled from the instrument’s memory and
re-used:
Test sequence
If the sequence has not changed (this is usually the situation) the user does not need to
care about setting the right test sequence and parameters.
Appliance data
ID number, names, descriptions, addresses, comments are not needed to be re-entered
again. Old data are offered by default.
Old test results
Actual Project Autotest test results can be compared with previous results. The
instrument automatically calculates the trends for each measurement.
Note:
Ì If the test results are close to the limit they should be compared with old test
results. If the trends are deteriorating, the safety of the appliance and the time
between test should be reassessed. If the results stay stable the appliance can
generally be treated as safe.
Old test results can be uploaded from a PC back to the instrument. This brings further
advantages:
Ì old test results are not occupying the instrument’s memory and can be
temporarily uploaded only for the purpose of re-testing,
Ì test results and appliance data can be moved / shared among different test
instruments,
Ì appliance data can be pre-entered on the computer and then sent to the
instrument.
7.3.1 How to select a project autotest
The first step when performing project autotests is to recall the appropriate stored
appliance data from the instruments memory. The procedure is similar as if test results
are to be recalled from the instrument’s memory.
In the Main menu select Project autotests by using ¿ and À cursor keys and press
ENTER key to confirm. Search project autotest menu will be displayed.

Ì appliance number,
Ì test site,
Ì location
Ì date from and date to,
Ì user.
Ì appliance number,
Ì building
Ì room,
Ì date from and date to,
Ì user.
By using ¿ and À cursor keys select the filter you want to edit.
To change the selected parameter line type, press the F3 function key and the
»parameter type« will become highlited (e.g. APPLIANCE). The ½ and ¾ cursor keys
can then be used to change the parameter type and by pressing ENTER key the choice
can be confirmed. Once the parameter types have been set up, the data required to
filter the files can be inserted. Filter information can be inserted via the alphanumeric
keypad or, in some filter fields such as user, can also be selected from a predefined list
by pressing the F4 function key. The appliance number field can also be read using a
barcode reader.
By placing a »*« (shift + “2”) in a particular field, tells the instrument not to search the
associated filter field. When searching, the instrument will therefore ignore data in this
parameter and go on to find all the appliances that conform to data placed in the other
filter fields.
To find all stored results, enter »*« in the all fields (excluding DATE where the correct
from and to dates must be entered).
When the search filters have been correctly set up, a search can be performed by
pressing the F1 function key. If the search filters are set up correctly and the appliances
exist in the units memory, the Project autotests result menu will be displayed.

While recalling stored results, the instrument shows a bargraph and a ratio of files found
compared to files stored in memory (e.g. 7/11 implies 7 results have been found to meet
the filter criteria out of a potential 11 results stored in the flash memory).
By using ¿ and À cursor keys, the F1 and F2 function keys or barcode reader, select
the appliance that should be retested.
Appliance tickers
Each appliance is marked with a ticker. The ticker appears at the right of the appliance
number and helps to speed up finding appliances to be retested.

A Autotest shortcut parameters
APPLIANCE TYPE
Ì portable or handheld appliances,
Ì heating and cooking appliances,
Ì IT (information technology) equipment (EN60950),
Ì extension leads,
Ì 3-phase (Aus / NZ model only),
Ì multibox (Aus / NZ model only),
Ì mineral insulated heating elements (Aus / NZ model only),
Ì RCD protected appliances (Aus / NZ model only).
Most electrical appliances belong to one of these above-mentioned types. The tests and
limits differ slightly depending on the specific regulation.
In general the following tests must be performed during an in service test:
Class I equipment:
Ì visual check,
Ì earth bond resistance,
Ì insulation resistance,
Ì functional test.
Class II equipment:
Ì visual check,
Ì insulation resistance,
Ì functional test.
Notes:
Ì For portable and handheld appliances the leakage (or touch leakage) limits are
stricter than for other types.
Ì For IT equipment the earth bond resistance measurement is performed with low
current (100 mA) in order to avoid any damage to earth connections for EMC
(screening) purposes.
Ì For cooking and heating appliances the leakage limit is set higher because some
leakage typically occurs in the heating elements. Therefore the substitute
leakage current measurement is performed instead of insulation resistance
measurement.
Ì The IT equipment must conform to the EN60950 regulations. Otherwise the
equipment may be damaged during the insulation resistance measurement!
