OPERATING THE TESTER

Using the Rotary Switch Use the rotary switch (Figure 1 and Table 4) to select the type of test you want to perform. WWarnings Do not use in CAT III or CAT IV environments without the protective cap installed. The protective cap decreases the exposed probe metal to <4mm. This decreases the possibility of arc flash from short circuits. Understanding the Pushbuttons Use the rotary switch to select the type of test you want to perform.Use the pushbuttons to control operation of the tester, select test results for viewing, and scroll through selected test results.

L (Line) 43 PE (Protective Earth) 44 N (Neutral) Using the IR Port The Model Telaris ProInstall-100 and Telaris ProInstall-200 have an IR (infrared) port, see Figure 23, which allows you to connect the tester to a computer and upload test data using a Amprobe PC software. This automates your troubleshooting or recording process, reduces the possibility of manual error and allows you to collect, organize, and display test data in a format that meets your needs. See “Uploading Test Results” on page 40 for additional information on using the IR port. Error Codes Various error conditions are detected by the tester and are indicated with the W icon, “Err”, and an error number on the primary display. See table below. These error conditions disable testing and, if necessary, stop a running test. Figure 6.

Power-On Options To select a power-on option, press and the function key simultaneously and then release the button. Power-on options are retained when the tester is turned OFF. See Table below. UK - Mode Selected Automatic Lead Swapping Mode Selected Figure 7. Lead Swapping Modes Keys Power-on Options

Line and Neutral Swap mode. Two modes of operation are available. You can configure the tester to operate in L-n mode or L-n n-L mode, see Figure

• In L-n mode, the L and N phase conductors must NEVER be reversed. This is a requirement in some regions including the UK. The icon appears on the display indicating that the system L and N conductors are swapped and testing is inhibited. Investigate and rectify the cause of this system fault before proceeding. L-n mode also changes the RCD x1/2 trip time duration to 2 seconds as required in the UK.

• In L-n n-L mode, the unit allows the L and N phase conductors to be swapped and testing will continue. Note: In locations where polarized plugs and outlets are used, a swapped lead icon ( ) may indicate that the outlet was wired incorrectly. Correct this problem before proceeding with any testing.

1. Turn the rotary switch to the V position.

2. Use all (red, blue, and green) terminals for this test. You can use test leads or mains cord

when measuring AC voltage.

• The primary (upper) display shows the AC voltage. The tester reads AC voltage to 500 V. Press F1 to toggle the voltage reading between L-PE, L-N, and N-PE.

• The secondary (lower) display shows mains frequency. WWarning It is not possible to check reliably the connections of N- and PE-circuits in the socket by voltage measurement. To ensure this, we suggest to verify this while performing Loop and Line impedance measuring. Reason for this is that the voltages L-N, L-PE and N-PE are measured by the tester at the same time and will be influenced by open wires together with resistances (loads) and capacitances of the installation network in combination with internal resistances of the tester itself. This issue happens especially when N is missing/open and can lead to wrong reading. Measuring Insulation Resistance Figure 9. Insulation Resistance Display/Switch and Terminal Settings WWarning To avoid electric shock, measurements should only be performed on de-energized circuits. To measure insulation resistance:

1. Turn the rotary switch to the R

2. Use the L and PE (red and green) terminals for this test.

3. Use the F4 to select the test voltage. Most insulation testing is performed at 500 V, but

until the reading settles Note: Testing is inhibited if voltage is detected in the line.

• The primary (upper) display shows the insulation resistance.

• The secondary (lower) display shows the actual test voltage. Note: For normal insulation with high resistance, the actual test voltage (UN) should always be equal to or higher than the programmed voltage. If insulation resistance is bad, the test voltage is automatically reduced to limit the test current to safe ranges. Measuring Continuity

Figure 10. Continuity Zero Display/Switch and Terminal Settings A continuity test is used to verify the integrity of connections by making a high resolution resistance measurement. This is especially important for checking Protective Earth connections. Note: In countries where electrical circuits are laid out in a ring, it is recommended that you make an end-to-end check of the ring at the electrical panel. WWarning

• Measurements should only be performed on de-energized circuits.

• Measurements may be adversely affected by impedances or parallel circuits or transient currents. To measure continuity:

1. Turn the rotary switch to the RLO position.

2. Use the L and PE (red and green) terminals for this test.

3. Before making a continuity test, short connect the test leads. Press and hold F3 until the

comp annunciator appears. The tester measures probe resistance, stores the reading in memory, and subtracts it from readings. The resistance value is saved even when power is turned off so you don’t need to repeat the operation every time you use the instrument. Note: Be sure the batteries are in good charge condition before you compensate the test leads.

4. Press and hold until the reading settles. If the continuity beeper is enabled, the

tester beeps continuously for measured values less than 2 Ω and there is no stable reading beep for measured values greater than 2 Ω. If a circuit is live, the test is inhibited and the AC voltage appears in the secondary (lower) display.12 Measuring Loop/Line Impedance Figure 11. Loop/Line Impedance/Switch and Terminal Settings Loop Impedance (Line to Protective Earth L-PE) Loop impedance is source impedance measured between Line (L) and Protective Earth (PE). You can also ascertain the Prospective Earth Fault Current (PSC) that is the current that could potentially flow if the phase conductor is shorted to the protective earth conductor. The tester calculates the PSC by dividing the measured mains voltage by the loop impedance. The loop impedance function applies a test current that flows to earth. If RCDs are present in the circuit, they may trip. To avoid tripping, always use the Zl No Trip function on the rotary switch. The no trip test applies a special test that prevents RCDs in the system from tripping. If you are certain no RCDs are in the circuit, you can use the Zl Hi Current function for a faster test. Note: If the L and N terminals are reversed, the tester will auto-swap them internally and continue testing. If the tester is configured for UK operation, testing will halt. This condition is indicated by symbol (

Tip: We recomend to measure in additon to each loop impedance measurement also the line impedance to ensure correct wiring. This will proof the correct connection of live (L) and neutral (N) wire for short circuit and overload protection. To measure loop impedance no trip mode: WWarning To prevent tripping RCDs in the circuit:

• Always use the position for loop measurements.

• Preload conditions can cause the RCD to trip.

• An RCD with a nominal fault current of 10 mA will trip. Note: To do a Loop impedance test in a circuit with a 10 mA RCD, we recommend a trip time RCD test. Use a nominal test current of 10 mA and the factor x ½ for this test. If the fault voltage is below 25 V or 50 V, dependent on the local requirement, the loop is good. To calculate the loop impedance, divide the fault voltage by 10 mA (Loop impedance = fault voltage x 100).

1. Turn the rotary switch to the

2. Connect all three leads to the L, PE, and N (red, green, and blue) terminals of the tester.

Only the calibrated test lead which are in scope of supply must be used! The resistance of the calibrated test leads is subtracted from the result automatically.

4. Connect all three leads to the L, PE, and N of the system under test or plug the mains

cord into the socket under test.13 Figure 12. Display After Zeroing

. Wait for the test to complete. The primary (upper) display shows the loop impedance. The secondary (lower) display shows the prospective short current (PSC) in amps or kilo amps. This test will take several seconds to complete. If the mains is disconnected while the test is active, the test automatically terminates. Note: Errors may occur due to preloading the circuit under test. To measure loop impedance—Hi current trip mode: If no RCDs are present in the system under test, you can use the high current Line Earth (L- PE) loop impedance test.

1. Turn the rotary switch to the

2. Connect all three leads to the L, PE, and N (red, green, and blue) terminals of the tester.

Only the calibrated test lead which are in scope of supply must be used! The resistance of the calibrated test leads is subtracted from the result automatically.

3. Press F1 to select L-PE. The

appears to indicate that hi current trip mode is selected.

4. Repeat Steps 4 through 8 from the preceding test.

WWarning The symbol on the LCD indicates the high current loop mode - any RCDs in the system will trip - ensure there are no RCDs present. Loop impedance (Hi current trip mode) in IT systems The impedance being measured by a phase to earth test depends on the condition of the IT- system. It should be a very high impedance on a healthy system. Low impedance values may be caused by a shorted disneuter, loads connected to the system, or an existing first fault condition. This is not a common test as the state of the system must be known before you can determine the significance of the measured value. Use the mains test lead but do not connect the N-wire to the instrument, so just the PE and L inputs are used. See figure 18a. Note: An RCD will trip during this test, in case the impedance is low. Line Impedance Line impedance is source impedance measured between Line conductors or Line and Neutral. This function allows the following tests:

• Line to Neutral loop impedance. Tip: We recomend to measure in additon to each loop impedance measurement also the line impedance to ensure correct wiring. This will proof the correct connection of live (L) and neutral (N) wire for short circuit and overload protection.14

• Line to Line impedance in 3-phase systems.

• Two wire L-PE loop measurement when Neutral is not available. This is a way of making a high current, 2-wire loop measurement. Therefore connect Line to L input and PE to N input. It cannot be used on circuits protected by RCDs because it will cause them to trip.

• Prospective Short Circuit Current (PSC). PSC is the current that can potentially flow if the phase conductor is shorted to the neutral conductor or another phase conductor. The tester calculates the PSC current by dividing the measured mains voltage by the line impedance. Figure 14. Line Impedance Display To measure line impedance:

1. Turn the rotary switch to the

position. The LCD indicates that the high current loop mode is selected by displaying the symbol.

2. Connect the red lead to the L (red) and the blue lead to the N (blue). Only the calibrated

test lead which are in scope of supply must be used! The resistance of the calibrated test leads is subtracted from the result automatically.

3. Press F1 to select L-N.

WWarning At this step, be careful not to select L-PE because a high current loop test will take place. Any RCDs in the system will trip if you proceed. Note: Connect the leads in a single-phase test to the system live and neutral. To measure line-to-line impedance in a 3-phase system, connect the leads to 2 phases.

4. Press and release

. Wait for the test to complete.

• The primary (upper) display shows the line impedance.

• The secondary (lower) display shows the Prospective Short Circuit Current (PSC). Use the connection shown in Figure 15 when measuring in a 3-phase 500 V system.

L (L1/Red) N (L3/Blue) Figure 15. Measuring in a 3-Phase System15 Measuring RCD Tripping Time Figure 16. RCD Tripping Time Display/Switch and Terminal Settings In this test, a calibrated fault current is induced into the circuit, causing the RCD to trip. The meter measures and displays the time required for the RCD to trip. You can perform this test with test leads or using the mains cord. The test is performed with a live circuit. You can also use the tester to perform the RCD tripping time test in Auto mode, which makes it easier for one person to perform the test. Note: When measuring trip time for any type of RCD, the tester first does a pretest to determine if the actual test will cause a fault voltage exceeding the limit (25 or 50 V). To avoid having an inaccurate trip time for S type (time delay) RCDs, a 30 second delay is activated between the pretest and the actual test. This RCD type needs a delay because it contains RC circuits that are required to settle before applying the full test. WWarning

• Leakage currents in the circuit following the residual current protection device may influence measurements.

• The displayed fault voltage relates to the rated residual current of the RCD.

• Potential fields of other earthing installations may influence the measurement.

• Equipment (motors, capacitors) connected downstream of the RCD may cause considerable extension of the tripping time. Note: If the L and N terminals are reversed, the tester will auto-swap them internally and continue testing. If the tester is configured for UK operation, testing will halt and you will need to determine why the L and N are swapped. This condition is indicated by symbol (

Type A and type B RCDs do not have the 1000 mA option available. To measure RCD tripping time:

1. Turn the rotary switch to the

– AC current to test type AC (standard AC RCD) and type A (pulse-DC sensitive RCD) – Half-wave current to test type A (pulse-DC sensitive RCD) – Delayed response to test S-type AC (time delayed AC RCD)16 – Delayed response to S-type A (time delayed pulse-DC sensitive RCD) – Smooth-DC current to test type B RCD – Delayed response to S-type B (time delayed smooth-DC current RCD)

5. Press F4 to select the test current phase, 0° or 180°. RCDs should be tested with both

phase settings, as their response time can vary significantly depending on the phase Note: For RCD type B ( ) or S-type B ( ), you must test with both phase settings, all three test leads are required.

6. Press and release

. Wait for the test to complete.

• The primary (upper) display shows the trip time.

5. Press F3 to select the RCD test-current waveform.

6. Press and release

The tester supplies ½x the rated RCD current for 310 or 510 ms (2 seconds in the UK). If the RCD trips, the test terminates. If the RCD does not trip, the tester reverses phase and repeats the test. The test terminates if the RCD Trips. If the RCD does not trip, the tester restores the initial phase setting and supplies 1x the rated RCD current. The RCD should trip and the test results appear in the primary display.

8. The tester reverses phases and repeats the 1x test. The RCD should trip and the test

results appear in the primary display.

10. The tester restores the initial phase setting and supplies 5x the rated RCD current for

up to 50 ms. The RCD should trip and the test results appear in the primary display.

12. The tester reverses phase and repeats the 5x test. The RCD should trip and the test

results appear in the primary display.

• You can use the arrow keys to review test results. The first result shown is the last measurement taken, the 5x current test. Press the down arrow ke to move backward to the first test at ½x the rated current.

14. Test results are in temporary memory. If you want to store the test results, press

and proceed as described in “Storing and Recalling Measurements” on page 37 of this manual. Note: You must store each result separately after you select it with the arrow keys.17 Measuring RCD Tripping Current Figure 17. RCD Tripping Current/Switch and Terminal Settings This test measures the RCD tripping current by applying a test current and then gradually increasing the current until the RCD trips. You can use the test leads or mains cord for this test. A 3 wire connection is required for testing of RCD type B. WWarning

• The primary (upper) display shows the trip time.18 RCD testing in IT systems RCD testing at locations with IT systems requires a special test procedure because the Protective Earth connection is grounded locally and is not tied directly to the power system. The test is conducted at the electrical panel using probes. Use the connection shown in Figure 18 when performing RCD testing on IT electrical systems. RCD Mains Supply PE (L2/Green) L (L1/Red) N (L3/Blue) Figure 18. Connection for RCD Testing on IT Electrical Systems The test current flows through the upper side of the RCD, into the L terminal, and returns though the PE terminal. Alternative procedure In IT systems, when testing an RCD at a mains socket: Use the mains test lead but do not connect the N-wire to the instrument, so just the PE and L inputs are used. See figure 18a.

Figure 18a. Measuring Earth Resistance Figure 19. Earth Resistance Display/Switch and Terminal Settings19 The earth resistance test is a 3-wire test consisting of two test stakes and the earth electrode under test. This test requires an accessory stake kit. Connect as shown in Figure 20.

• Best accuracy is achieved with the middle stake at 62 % of the distance to the far stake. The stakes should be in a straight line and wires separated to avoid mutual coupling.

• The earth electrode under test should be disconnected from the electrical system when conducting the test. Earth resistance testing should not be performed on a live system. 62% L

Calibration To ensure the accuracy of the measurements it is recommended that the instrument is calibrated regularly by our service. We suggest a calibration interval of one year. Cleaning Periodically wipe the case with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Do not use abrasives or solvents. Dirt or moisture in the terminals can affect readings. To clean the terminals:

1. Turn the meter off and remove all test leads.

2. Shake out any dirt that may be in the terminals.

3. Soak a new swab with alcohol. Work the swab around each terminal.

Testing and Replacing the Batteries Battery voltage is continuously monitored by the tester. If the voltage falls below 6.0 V (1.0 V/cell), the low battery icon appears on the display, indicating that there is minimal battery life left. The low battery icon continues to appear on the display until you replace the batteries.23 WWarning To avoid false readings, which could lead to possible electric shock or personal injury, replace the batteries as soon as the battery icon ( ) appears. Be sure that the battery polarity is correct. A reversed battery can cause leakage. Replace the batteries with six AA batteries. Alkaline batteries are supplied with the tester but you can also use 1.2 V NiCd or NiMH batteries. You can also check the battery charge so that you can replace them before they discharge. WWarning To avoid electrical shock or personal injury, remove the test leads and any input signals before replacing the battery. To prevent damage or injury, install ONLY specified replacement fuses with the amperage, voltage, and speed ratings shown in the General Specifications section of this manual. To replace the batteries (refer to Figure 24):

to turn the tester off.

2. Remove the test leads from the terminals.

3. Remove the battery door by using a standard-blade screwdriver to turn the battery door

screws (3) one-quarter turn counterclockwise.

4. Press the release latch and slide the battery holder out of the tester.

5. Replace the batteries and the battery door.

Note: All stored data will be lost if the batteries are not replaced within approximately one minute

6. Secure the door by turning the screws one-quarter turn clockwise.
