IEC/EN 61010-1/VDE 0411-1

Safety regulations for electrical measuring, control,

regulating and laboratory devices – general requirements

and

DIN VDE 0404-1/-2: Testing and measuring equipment for checking the electric safety

of electric devices; Part 1: general requirements, and Part 2:

Testing equipment for tests after repair, change or in case of repeat tests

When used for its intended purpose, the safety of the user, the test instrument and the device

under test (electrical equipment) is assured.

Read the operating instructions carefully and completely before placing your test instrument into ser-

vice, and follow all instructions contained therein. Make sure that the operating instructions are avail-

able to all users of the instrument.

The tests may only be conducted under the supervision of a qualified electrician. The user must be in-

structed by a qualified electrician in the performance and evaluation of the test.

Observe the following safety precautions:

• The instrument may only be connected to electrical supply systems with 230 V/240 V

which conform to the valid safety regulations (e.g. IEC 60364, VDE 0100) and are pro-

tected with a fuse or circuit breaker with a maximum rating of 16 A.

• No measurements within electrical systems are allowed.

• Be prepared for the occurrence of unexpected voltages at devices under test. For exam-

ple, capacitors may be dangerously charged.

• Make certain that connector cables are not damaged, e.g. damaged insulation, interruptions etc.

2 Applications

The tester is intended for the testing and measurement of repaired or modified electrical

devices in accordance with DIN VDE 0701-702. These regulations require the measurement

of protective conductor resistance, insulation resistance and equivalent leakage current for

repaired or modified electrical devices, as well as testing for the absence of voltage at

exposed, conductive parts for data processing systems and office machines.

Testing for the absence of voltage at the mains connection protective conductor and line volt-

age measurements can also be performed with this instrument. The device under test can be

connected to mains power at the mains outlet integrated into the tester, which provides for

the measurement of power consumption and the testing of functions.

Note!

Limit values displayed at the instrument make reference to periodic testing require-

ments set forth in VDE 0702: 1995.

3 Operating and Display Elements

(1) Mains Plug

The tester is connected to the 230 V mains outlet with the mains plug. If no earthing contact

socket is available, or if only three-phase current is available, the KS13 cable set can be used

to establish a connection.

The mains connection must be fused. Maximum nominal rating: 16 A!

(2) PE Signal Lamp for Protective Conductor Testing

The PE signal lamp lights up, if a potential difference of 100 V occurs

between the contacting surface (4) and the earthing contact at the mains plug (1).

(3) Alligator clip (gripper clip for attachment to the test probe)

Connect the housing of the device under test with the alligator clip for measurement of pro-

tective conductor resistance.

(4) Contacting Surface for Contact Finger

The PE signal lamp (2) lights up, if a potential difference of 100 V occurs between the PE

protective conductor at the mains plug (1) and the contacting surface.

The contacting surface is electrically isolated from all terminals, as well as from the measuring

circuit, and thus conforms to protection class II!

(5) Measuring Function selector Switch

Measuring functions can be selected with the measuring function selector switch. Displayed

values at intermediate switch positions have no significance.

(6) Connector Jack/Terminal for Measurement of Contact Current at Conductive

Components at the Device Under Test

This terminal is intended for the measurement of contact current at exposed conductive parts

which are not connected to the protective conductor.

(7) Mains Outlet

The DUT can be connected to the integrated mains outlet for the measurement of power

consumption and functions testing.

Residual current measurement is performed in this way as well.

Overcurrent protection is provided by the mains fuse or circuit breaker, see (1).

GMC-I Messtechnik GmbH 7

(8) Test Socket

The DUT is connected to the test socket for the measurement of protective conductor resis-

tance, insulation resistance and equivalent leakage current in accordance with

DIN VDE 0701-0702, if the DUT is equipped with a mains plug.

(9) Connector Jack/Terminal for DUT Phase Conductors

This terminal is wired in parallel to the two short-circuited phase conductor terminals at the

test socket (8). The DUT phase conductors can be connected to this jack/terminal, if the DUT

is not equipped with a mains plug.

(10) Connector Jack/Terminal for DUT Protective Conductor

This terminal is wired in parallel to the protective conductor terminal at the test socket (8). The

DUT protective conductor can be connected to this jack/terminal, if the DUT is not equipped

with an earthing contact plug. Beyond this, exposed conductive parts at the device under

test must be connected to this jack for insulation testing and the measurement of equivalent

leakage current.

(11) LCD Display

Measured values are displayed in digital form at the LCD.

(12) Carrying Handle

The carrying handle can be folded out.

(13) Error Lamp

The red error lamp indicates that limit values have been exceeded during the measurement of

protective conductor and insulation resistance, equivalent leakage, contact and leakage cur-

rent, as well as residual current.

KS 13 Accessory Cable Set

The KS 13 cable set consists of a adapter socket with three permanently connected cables,

3 measurement cables, 3 plug-on pick-off clips and 2 plug-on test probes. With the KS 13

the tester and the DUT can be connected, even if no earthing contact socket is available for

the mains connection, or no earthing contact plug is present at the DUT.

3.1 Error and Limit Value Messages

The following limit values are indicated

1) Resistance between housing and mains plug in connector cables up to a length of 5 m

2) For extension cables, there is an additional resistance of 0.1 for each

additional 7.5 m, up to a maximum, however, of 1 

3) For safety class I devices with activated heating elements

(if heating power > 3 kW and RISO < 0.3 M:

leakage current measurement required)

4) Limit value per DIN VDE 0702:1995

5) This limit value applies for all-pole switches

(corresponds to a doubling of the limit value

or, respectively, a 50 % reduction of the actual measuring current)

Residual Current Limit Value Violations

The METRATESTER 5 is equipped with a selector switch independent, residual current monitoring

function. If the red error lamp lights up and no message regarding a limit value violation

appears at the display, residual current at the mains outlet is dangerously high – regardless of

the selector switch setting. If this is the case, it is advisable to measure residual current (dif-

ferential current) by turning the selector switch to the “IDIFF” position.

Only the displayed numeric value should be considered when evaluating residual current with

the selector switch in the “IDIFF” position. The error lamp may be caused to light up as a result

of residual current monitoring for values of as low as approximately 3.2 mA. The error lamp

lights up in any case as of 3.5 mA.

4 Mains Connection

4.1 Connecting the Tester

➭Connect the tester to the 230 V mains with the mains plug (1). If no earthing contact

socket is available, or if only a three-phase socket is available, connection of the phase

conductors, the neutral conductor and the PE conductor can be accomplished with the

help of the adapter socket. It includes 3 permanently connected cables and is included

with the KS 13 accessory cable set.

Attention!

The instrument may only be connected to electrical supply systems with 230 V/

240 V which conform to the valid safety regulations (e.g. IEC 60364, VDE 0100) and

are protected with a fuse or circuit breaker with a maximum rating of 16 A.

The pick-off clips on the cables at the adapter socket may only be connected in the

voltage-free condition!

If mains voltage is present, characters are displayed at the LCD regardless of the position of

the measuring function selector switch, even if no DUT has been connected. Thus the pres-

ence of characters at the display indicates the presence of voltage – independent of measur-

ing function selector switch position.

The mains voltage value is indicated at the display in the “UNetz 250 V” selector switch posi-

tion. In all other switch detent positions, characters are displayed which have no correlation

to a measured value, if a DUT has not been connected.

4.2 Testing Protective Conductor Potential

➭Bring the contact finger into contact with the contacting surface (4) and, at the same

time, with a grounded object (e.g. a water pipe).

The PE signal lamp (2) must not light up! Potential between the mains plug protective

conductor (1) and the contacting surface (4) is then 100 V.

Note!

The PE signal lamp (2) does not light up, if no mains voltage is present between L and

N at the mains plug (1), or if L and PE are reversed at the mains connection. If, after

having connected the DUT in accordance with chapter 4.1, page 9, you determine,

that no characters are displayed at the LCD, the mains connection should first be

inspected – e.g. with the PROFITEST MASTER tester.

However, if the PE signal lamp (2) lights up when contact is made with the contacting surface

(4), potential between the protective conductor at the mains plug (1) and the contacting sur-

face (4) is > 100 V, i.e. voltage is present at the protective conductor or the protective con-

ductor is not connected.

Note!

Stray voltages may occur due to handling of the DUT, which cause the PE signal lamp

(2) to light up. For example, this may occur if a device is held in the hand which has

been connected to the test socket (8) due to the resultant occurrence of a capacitive

voltage divider. Touch a grounded object as described above in this case.

Attention!

Voltage at the mains protective conductor (phase conductor L at protective earth

conductor PE: incorrect wiring of mains socket ) also distorts measured values for

the following tests:

– Measurement of contact current per DIN VDE 0701-0702

– Residual current measurement

4.3 Measuring Mains Voltage

➭Set the measuring function selector switch to “UNetz 250 V”

➭Read the measured value at the LCD.

Mains voltage must lie within the allowable range of 207 to 253 V.
