Page 6

In order to avoid electrical shock, the valid safety and VDE regulations regarding excessive contact voltages must receive the utmost attention when working with voltages exceeding 120V (60V) DC or 50V (25V)rms AC. The values in brackets are valid for limited ranges (for example medicine and agriculture).

Measurements in dangerous proximity of electrical installations are only to be executed when instructed by a responsible electrical specialist, and never alone.

If the operator’s safety is no longer guaranteed, the instrument is to be put out of service and protected against use. The safety can no longer be guaranteed if the instrument (or leads):

• shows obvious damage

• does not carry out the desired measurements

• has been stored for too long under unfavourable conditions

• has been subjected to mechanical stress during transport.

Prior to usage, inspect the instrument and test leads for external damage. Prior to any operation, ensure that connecting leads used and instruments are in perfect condition.

The test leads, the measurement accessories and the mains plug may only be touched at the handle section provided. Direct contact of measurement ports or test probes must be avoided.

Avoid any heating up of the instrument by direct sunlight to ensure perfect functioning and long instrument life.

3.1 Appropriate Usage

The instrument may only be used under those conditions and for those purposes for which it was built.

When modifying or changing the instrument, the operational safety is no longer guaranteed.

The opening of the instrument for fuse replacement, for example, may only be carried out by professionals. Prior to opening, the instrument has to be switched off and disconnected from any voltages.

Any maintenance and calibration tasks may only be carried out by our repair service staff.

The instrument may not be operated if the battery case is open.

If the instrument is subjected to an extremely high electro-magnetic field, its functioning ability may be impaired.

5.1 Voltage Measurement

Never apply voltages exceeding 440V AC/DC to input sockets.

The instrument is equipped with an integrated internal over voltage protection up to maximum 500 V AC/DC.

When switching on or changing to VAC/DC measurement range, „AC" is automatically selected.

5.1.1 AC Voltage and Frequency Measurement

 Select measurement range „VAC/DC, f" by

means of measurement range selection switch (32).

 Connect mains connection cable or test lead to

the measurement instrument

 Now connect the mains connection cable or the

L and N connections of the test leads to the UUT.

For DC voltage measurements, the socket L1 polarity is positive (+), the L2 polarity is negative (-).

 Read measurement result on display.

AC voltage is displayed in the large result field (12), frequency in the small result field (14).

If voltage exceeds 440V, „>440V" is displayed in the large result field. Should this occur disconnect the test instrument from the EUT immediately.

If the frequency value is outside 10Hz ... 99,9Hz range, „---„ is displayed in the small resultfield. This indication is also displayed on the screen if the AC voltage is extremely low.

Measurement results may be stored by pressing the „Store" (27) key.

5.2 Low-Ohm Resistance Measurement

This measurement is used to check protective earth conductors, grounding conductors, and equipotential bonding conductors for low-impedance continuity. The resistance is determined by current/voltage measurement.

Prior to any Resistance measurement, it must be guaranteed that no installation parts to be tested are live.

Prior to any resistance measurement it is possible to compensate test lead resistance (please refer to chapter 5.2.1)

 Connect 2 test leads to the TELARIS 0100 plus

(sockets L1 and L2).

 Plug test probes or crocodile clips onto the test

leads and connect the test leads to the EUT.

 Set measurement range selection switch (32) to

„LOW-Ω" measurement range.

If an external voltage is present, the instrument displays Uext (5) and attention (1). The LowOhm resistance measurement is then blocked. The symbol „Uext" (5) disappears if a second measurement is started without foreign voltage present.

 Press the "Start" (26) key. During the measure-

ment the display shows "-”.

 Read measurement value on display.

If „>1999 Ω" appears on the display, the resistance is higher than 1999 Ohm.

The polarity of the test current applied may influence the measurement result by means of galvanic elements within the EUT. For this reason always repeat the measurement with reversed polarity to compare the measurement results.

The measurement results can be falsified by parallel connection of impedances of additional service circuits or by compensating currents.

It is possible to store the measurement result by pressing „Store" (27) key.

The instrument automatically remains in continuous measurement mode when pressing the "Start" key (26). The measurement lasts until the "Start” key (26) is released again.

5.2.1 Compensating Test Lead Resistance

TELARIS 0100 plus allows for compensation of test lead resistance. The test lead resistance may amount up to 1,99Ω. Proceed as follows:

 Connect 2 test leads to the TELARIS 0100 plus

(sockets L1 and L2). Connect any measurement accessories used to measurement connections L and N.

 Short-circuit both test leads U+ and U-.  Set measurement range selection switch (32) to

„LOW-Ω" measurement range.

 Press „COMP" (22) key.

If the test lead resistance has been properly compensated for, the symbol „COMP" (15) and the value 0.00 Ohm appears on the display. Furthermore, an acoustic signal is audible. If the test lead resistance exceeds 1,99 Ohm, the symbol „COMP" (15) blinks twice and the error signal is audible.

The compensation value is maintained even after switching the instrument off.

 To clear the compensation value, please press

the "COMP” key (22) again.

5.3 Insulation Measurement

For electrical installations the insulation measurement has to be carried out prior to final commissioning. This measurement is of basic importance as the insulation measurement is considered to be the only measurement for fire protection. If, due to an insulation error, a limited fault current flows between two conductors, this leads to a heating up or even to a fire. Only the insulation measurement procedure can detect such a fault.

If an external voltage is present, the instrument displays „Uext" and “attention” after the „Start" key has been pressed. The insulation measurement is then blocked. The symbol „Uext" (5) appears if a second measurement is started without an extraneous voltage present.

According to IEC 60364 (DIN VDE 0100 Part 610) the insulation resistance measurement is carried out:

• from all phase conductors (e.g. L1, L2, L3) towards earth or to protective earth (PE)

• between protective earth (PE) and neutral (N) Additionally, it is advised to perform the following measurements:

• between all active conductors (e.g. L1, L2, L3, N).

This measurement must be carried out individually for each current circuit. The measurement is carried out a DC voltage of 100V, 250V or 500V.

The insulation resistance is determined by current/voltage measurement. The Telaris 0100 plus can perform an automatic measurement or a permanent measurement. The measurement duration is dynamic for automatic measurements.

The measurement lasts until measurement value stabilisation, however a maximum of 10s. Thus, the correct measurement result is determined for less capacitive loads within a very short time period and the battery life is increased.

During insulation measurement, ensure that all loads are disconnected from the mains and it must be ensured that all current circuits are switched on.

Prior to any insulation measurement, it must be guaranteed that no installation parts to be tested are live.

During insulation measurements, the measurement voltage charges capacitive UUTs. The UNITEST TELARIS 0100 plus automatically discharges the UUT after completion of the measurement. When interrupting the measurement or when removing the test leads prior to test termination, a dangerous voltage may be present at the UUT. If a dangerous voltage is detected during voltage measurement, the UUT must be manually discharged using a high impedance resistance (not via short-circuit!).

During the measurement, the operator may not touch the UUT/the installation being tested, danger of electrical shock!

If UUTs of higher capacitance´s are tested (e.g. long cables or conductors), the automatic discharge may take longer.

 Connect 2 test leads to the TELARIS 0100 plus

(sockets L1 and L2).

 Only Connect both ends to the UUT by using al-

ligator clips.

The PE connection should not be connected; otherwise, the TELARIS 0100 plus cannot perform correct measurements and displays 0.00 MΩ.

 Select insulation resistance measurement

range (RINS) via the rotary switch.

 Select the desired test voltage (100V / 250V /

500V) by means of ' VINS ' (22) or ' VINS ' (23) keys.

 To start automatic measurements, briefly press

the "Start” key (26)

If the automatic measurement takes a long time (approx. 10s), then the UUT has a high capacitance value. In this case, you should carry out a continuous measurement, as the automatic measurement should be interrupted after 10s. Possibly, the correct final value has not yet stabilised.

During the measurement, the instrument continuously shows the nominal voltage (500 V) of the insulation measurement function in the lower display part.

 Read the measurement value on the display.

If „>199.9 MΩ" appears on the display, a particularly good insulation resistance has been measured.

It is possible to store the measurement result by pressing the „Store" (27) key.

You may even enter continuous measurement if the instrument program is set to automatic measurement by pressing the "Start” key (26) and keeping it depressed. The measurement lasts until the "Start" key (26) is released again. Even during automatic measurement you may enter continuous measurement mode when pressing the 'Start' key (26) and keeping it depressed.

During the measurement process, intermediate results are displayed. The continuous measurement should be carried out until final measurement value stabilisation.

5.4 Mains Internal Resistance Measurement /

Short Circuit Current Measurement

The mains internal resistance is determined by applying a brief mains load using a large current. This measurement is not required by DIN VDE [German Standard], however it is considered as important and valuable support in practical applications e.g. for evaluating an installation as well as for trouble shooting.

Terms:

Loop Impedance (ZL):

Sum of impedance values within a current loop (between the L and PE conductor).

Internal Resistance (RI):

Sum of resistance values within a current loop (between the L and N conductor).

RL: Phase resistance

RPE: Protective conductor resistance

RN: Neutral conductor

RE: Earth-Resistance

Short-Circuit Current (IPSC):

Occurring current flow in the event of short circuit.

This measurement can be used in installations (TN systems) equipped with RCDs to detect any exchange of the PE and the neutral conductor (N) without opening within the divider. Any faulty connection results in RCD tripping when measuring the mains internal resistance.

Furthermore, this measurement may be used to prove the low impedance of the neutral conductor (N).

To obtain fairly precise measurement results, it is advised to switch off all loads or to disconnect them from the mains and to ensure that the UUT is faultfree.

 Connect the 'Schuko-Plug – Measurement Plug'

measurement adapter to the Telaris 0100 plus, by plugging the measurement plug labelled with L, N, PE into the respective sockets: L (33), N (34), and PE (35).

Mains Internal Resistance Measurement / Short Circuit Current Measurement

RINS, LowΩ

Page 16

 Plug the plug into the socket under test.

 Select the Mains Internal Resistance function

(RI, IK) using the "Measurement Function" rotary dial (32).

 Select the contact voltage limit by pressing the

'VL' key (24).

The socket is continuously checked for faults. If the "turn plug by 180°” symbol (7) is displayed on the screen, you are advised to either turn the Schuko-plug or the exchange the L and N connectors at the instrument.

If the symbol for socket error (6) is displayed on the screen, we are dealing with a socket wiring error. If a voltage exceeding the pre-selected contact voltage limit is present between N and PE, 'UB>UL' (4) is displayed on the screen.

To perform a complete socket test, touch the contact electrode PE (25) and observe the displayed values on the screen. A valid result may only be achieved when touching the contact electrode PE (25)!

You are dealing with a PE error, if the error signal is audible and the 'Attention' symbol (1), and 'Socket Error' symbol (6) are displayed. I.e., either the PE is not connected or a high voltage (phase) is present at PE.

The measurement may only be started if the socket is not faulty and if the measurement adapter has been connected by respecting correct polarity.

 Press the "Start" key (26) to start the measure-

ment. During the measurement ' - ' is displayed on the screen.

 Read the measurement result displayed on the

screen. The mains internal resistance is displayed in the large result field (12). The shortcircuit current IPSC is displayed in the small result field (14). .

Mains Internal Resistance Measurement / Short Circuit Current Measurement

AC/DC

RINS, LowΩ

Page 17

If the resistance measured exceeds 1999 Ω, the attention symbol (1) and '>1999 Ω' are displayed on the screen. As there is no valid measurement value for RI, it is not possible to calculate and display the short-circuit current IK. '---' is displayed in the small result field (14).

The short-circuit current is calculated using the mains voltage and the loop impedance. Here, the value 230V/400V is used for the mains voltage if it amounts close to 230V / 400V. If the measurement value deviates considerably from 230V / 400V, the actual measurement value is used to calculate the short-circuit current.

Supply system preloading and voltage fluctuations can lead to erroneous measurement results. Therefore, you are advised to perform several measurements and to compare the measurement results.

If many measurements are performed allowing only "short breaks", the internal over temperature protection of the Telaris 0100 plus is triggered and the symbol for excessive temperature (20) is displayed on the screen. The following mains internal resistance measurement may only be started once the instrument has cooled down and the symbol (20) has disappeared from the screen. Thus, any damage to the instrument can be avoided.

You may store the measurement result by pressing the 'Store' key (27).

If you wish to store the condition of a faulty socket, please press the "Start” key (26) first. After hearing the "Error Signal” you may press the "Store” key (27).

Measurements within the three-phase system: when measuring the internal resistance

within a three-phase system, you must connect L1 (33) and L2 (34) to the phases to be tested. You may not connect L3 (35). The socke test does not make sense for the internal resistance measurement between two phases. Therefore, the contact electrode (25) should not be touched. When touching the contact electrode, a PE error is indicated.

Mains Internal Resistance Measurement / Short Circuit Current Measurement

Page 18

5.5 Loop Impedance Measurement / Prospective Short-Circuit Current Measurement

The loop impedance (L-PE / loop impedance) is understood as the sum of all resistance values within a current loop, consisting of the resistors of the current source, the external conductor of the current source up to the measurement point and the return line (PE conductor) and the other current source pole. The measurement determines the loop impedance between the external conductor and the PE conductor. The loop impedance value is measured by short-term mains loading. With the instrument the TELARIS 0100 plus, short-circuit current is determined by calculation. The short-circuit current must be known such that an excess current release having been switched in series can trigger at an appropriate current level and thus at sufficient speed in the event of a short-circuit.

This measurement is used to perform the loop measurement within current circuits which are not equipped with an RCD. If this measurement is started in correct circuits equipped with RCDs, the RCD will trip!

To obtain precise measurement results, switch off all loads or disconnect them from the mains.

To obtain fairly precise measurement results, switch off all loads or disconnect them from the mains. Ensure that the UUT is faultfree.

Only the calibrated test lead which are in scope of supply must be used!

 Connect the 'Schuko-Plug - Measurement Plug'

mains adapter to the Telaris 0100 plus, by inserting the measurement plugs labelled with L, N, PE into the respective sockets L (33), N (34), and PE (35).

 Connect the mains to the socket plug by re-

specting the correct polarity.

If symbol „turn plug by 180°" (7) appears, turn the mains plug by 180° and connect to the socket or exchange the N and L connectors at the test instrument.

If the symbol for socket error (6) is displayed on the screen, an error within the mains has occurred. If a voltage is present between N and PE exceeding the pre-selected contact voltage limit (50V/25V), "UB>UL" is displayed on the screen (4).

To perform a complete socket test touch the contact electrode PE (25) and observe the display on the screen. You may only achieve a valid result when touching the contact electrode PE (25)!

If the error signal is audible and the 'Attention' (1) and 'Socket Error' (6) symbols are displayed on the screen, we are dealing with a PE error. I.e., either the PE is not connected or a high voltage (phase) is present at PE.

The measurement may only be started if the socket is faultfree and the measurement adapter has been connected by respecting correct polarity.

 Press the "Start" key (26) to start the measure-

ment. During the measurement ' - ' is displayed on the screen.

 Read the measurement result displayed on the

screen. The loop resistance is displayed on the large result field (12), the short-circuit current IPSC is displayed on the small result field (14).

If the resistance measured is larger than 1999Ω The attention symbol (1) and '>1999Ω' are displayed on the screen. As there is no valid measurement value for RS, the short-circuit current IPSC cannot be calculated and displayed. '---' appears on the small result field (14).

The short-circuit current is calculated using the mains voltage and the loop resistance. For this, the value 230V is used as mains voltage if the actual mains voltage amounts to approx. 230V. If the measurement value differs considerably from 230V, the actual measurement value is used for short-circuit current calculation.

Supply system preloading and voltage fluctuations can lead to erroneous measurement results. Therefore, you are advised to perform several measurements and to compare the measurement results

If several measurements are carried out, interrupted only by „short" breaks, the internal overtemperature protection of TELARIS 0100 plus is triggered and the symbol for overtemperature (20) appears on the display. The next loop impedance measurement can only be started, once the instrument has cooled down and after the symbol (20) has gone out. Instrument damage is therefore avoided..

Measurement results can be saved by pressing key „Store" (27).

If the user wishes to save the condition information of a faulty socket, first press the "Start” key (26). After hearing the "error signal”, the "Store” key (27) can be pressed.

5.7 General Information about RCD Tests

The contact voltage UB and the trip time t required by the RCD to disconnect the subsequent current circuit from the mains represent important measurement units for the assessment of an RCD.

For this reason, IEC 60364 prescribes that

a) the maximum allowable value for the contact

voltage (25V/50V) may not be exceeded within any system during tripping at nominal residual current.

b) the RCD must trip within a time limit of 300ms.

The task of an residual current device (RCD) consists in switching off a system within a defined time period after an error prior the contact voltage reaches the permissible limit value of 25V / 50V.

The system testing should be started by carrying out a visual inspection, in particular of the protective earth connection.

1. Within the IT system, the protective earth conductor does not have to be connected with the PEN but with the protective earth connection.

2. The protective earth conductor must be connected to the PEN prior to the RCD within the TN system.

3. An insulation measurement as described in Section 5.3 must be performed. In particular it must be proofed, that there is no connection between N and PE following the RCD.

4. Proof regarding the low impedance connection of equipotential bonding conductors in compliance with Section 5.2 must be available.

General Information about RCD Tests

Page 22

Time-delayed residual current devices trip at nominal residual current within 130…500ms, for double nominal fault current within 60…200 ms. Such RCDs are im-plemented as main residual current protection devices (please refer to IEC 61008-1) and are marked with the symbol .

The contact voltage represents the voltage present during an insulation error between two simultaneously touchable components.

At a measuring circuit without probe, available voltages between PE and earth can influence the measurement..

At use of the N-conductor as probe, the N-conductor should be check first for all of correct and low-ohm connection to neutral point of system. An available voltage of the N conductor to the earth can influence the measurement.

Leakage currents by preconnected loads can influence the measuring.

Attached loads or operating supplies which contains capacitors or circulating machines can elongate the trip time.

Any test and measurement procedures in circuits equipped with residual current devices should only be performed after having consulted the operator terminals (data processing systems, material processing, motors, etc.).

For measurements on earthed sockets or equipment with protective conductor connection, the protective earth must be checked for correct connection by touching contact electrode "PE". If an error is indicated via the socket error symbol (6), the PE connection must be checked ! The user may only start the test, once the protective conductor is properly connected.

Prior to testing, we recommend all loads are switched off as they could falsify the measurement result.

The protective earth must be free of external voltage for the RCD test. However if an extraneous voltage is present, the instrument only indicates the voltage VC having been generated by the measurement. The measurement interruption caused by excess of VL by VC is only generated by the actual voltage present between the neutral conductor (N) and the protective earth (PE).

5.7.1 RCD – Measurement of Contact

Voltage UB and the Earthing Resistance

RE without RCD Tripping

The instrument UNITEST TELARIS 0100 plus offers the facility to test contact voltage or the earthing resistance with reference to the nominal current of the RCD within supply systems equipped with RCDs without causing the RCD to trip. The contact voltage measurement is performed at approximately 1/3 of the pre-selected nominal current. The measured contact voltage is then extrapolated to nominal trip current and finally displayed. The contact voltage is determined by short-term mains loading, the measurement current flows within the PE and L conductors.

To achieve a precise measurement result, we advise to switch off all loads or to disconnect them from the mains, and to ensure that the UUT is faultfree.

Leakage currents within the current circuit following the residual current circuit breaker may falsify the measurement, like any possible voltage present between PE and ground, and any possible voltage present between neutral conductor and ground.

RCD – Measurement of Contact Voltage UB

Prior to performing the measurement, check the connection of the neutral conductor between the mains neutral point and the earth.

The contact voltage only refers to the contact voltage generated by the measurement and not to the actual contact voltage present.

5.7.2 RCD Trip Time Test, Contact

Voltage (ta, UB / RE)

This test is used to check the trip time of standard and selective RCDs. Additionally, the contact voltage (UB) generated during the test is measured. This RCD test is divided into two tests: the preliminary test is performed at 1/3 I∆N, the RCD not trip. The contact voltage UB is measured during this preliminary test and extrapolated to the nominal trip current I∆N (or 2 I∆N for selective RCDs). During the main test, the selected nominal trip current (I∆N or 2 I∆N) flows. The RCD must trip.

To obtain a precise measurement result, we advise to switch off all loads or to disconnect them from the mains.

11.0 Built in fuses

The instrument measurement inputs are protected by fuses, described in Section 13, Technical Data.

Both fuses are housed within the test instrument: Fuse F1 is located within the input circuit of L1 (or L). Fuse F2 is located within the input circuit of L3 (or PE). To replace the fuses, you must open the instrument TELARIS 0100 plus.

The fuses may only be replaced by our factory service department.

You may only use fuses complying with the current values, voltage values, switch off characteristics and capacities as stipulated in our technical data section.

11.1 Display for Tripped Fuses

If during the measurement, the TELARIS 0100 plus displays the measurement data described below, this indicates that the respective fuse has tripped.

The fuse must be replaced and the measurement instrument must be returned to our factory or an authorised service department for overhauling.

Function "Low Ohm":

Display >19.99 Ohm in spite of short-circuited test leads: Fuse F1 has tripped.

For the function "Rins":

Display >199.9 MOhm in spite of short-circuited test leads: Fuse F1 has tripped or the measurement

is cancelled. The following symbols are briefly displayed: 'Attention' (1) and 'Uext' (5): Fuse F1 has tripped.

For the function RI, IPSC - Internal Line Resistance

Display >1999Ohm also for sockets, which possess a known low internal resistance (other electrical loads do function): Fuse F1 has tripped.

If the fuse F2 is faulty, the socket test will indicate a PE error, which will disappear when touching the PE electrode (25). During the PE electrode contact the measurement may be started. The internal resistance measurement between both phases works correctly if the fuse F1 is in good condition.

Functions "Rs”:

Display >1999Ohm also for sockets, which possess a lower loop resistance: Fuse F1 has tripped.

If the fuse F2 is faulty, the socket test will indicate a PE error, which will disappear when touching the PE electrode (25).

RCD-Test

Display UB>UL also for sockets, which are in good condition: Fuse F1 has tripped.

If the fuse F2 is faulty, the socket test will indicate a PE error, which will disappear when touching the PE electrode (25).

The rotary field recognition and the voltage measurement facilities function even if fuses F1 and/or F2 have tripped.

12.0 Calibration Interval

We suggest a calibration interval of one year. If the instrument is used very often or if it is used under rough conditions we recommend shorter intervals. If the instrument is used few times only the calibration interval can be extended on to 3 years.
