  • With the Machinery-Tester MT 204-S the residual voltage can be measured 1 s or 5 s after switching off tested machine. Measurement of residual voltage can be carried out in linear or non-linear mode, see the section Residual voltage "Linear mode" or section Residual voltage "Non-linear mode".

1) Set the measurement function selector (5) to URES position.
2) Use the "F: t" / "F: URES" menu key (14) to select the measurement function (Residual voltage or Discharge time).
3) In Residual voltage function use the "MODE" menu key (14) to select measurement mode "LIN" or "UNLIN" and "TIME" menu key to select measuring time (1 s or 5 s).
4) In Discharge time function use the "LIM" menu key (14) to select the limit value for discharge time (1s or 5 s).
5) Connect test probes (or crocodile clips) to the unit under test, select the accessible points where the residual voltage can cause danger (mains connection, touchable contacts, capacitors, active conductors etc.)
6) Start the measurement by pressing the "START/STOP" button (7).
7) Pilot lamp "ON" (8) indicates active measurement.
8) Turn on main ON/OFF switch on tested machine, the value of present voltage appears on the LC-Display. Once the voltage is stabilized "READY" mark appears on the LC-Display.
9) Turn off main ON/OFF switch on tested machine and wait measurement result to be displayed (Residual voltage or Discharge time), pay attention to corresponding limit values.

  • For saving displayed measurement result press the "SAVE" function key (12) twice, for further instructions see the "Memorizing example" section.
  • If in linear mode the mains voltage is disconnected at too low value (<20% of peak value), it means scaling of measurement result to peak value is not possible. In this case "REPEAT THE MEASUREMENT" message appears on the display and the measurement must be repeated.

Explanation of linear and non-linear mode

Residual voltage measurement "Linear mode"

In linear mode it is assumed there are only "linear" components involved in discharge process (capacitors, resistors, inductors etc.) and therefore discharge characteristic is exponential, see the diagram below.

In linear mode displayed result refers to peak value of mains voltage, see the figure 13.

Beha-Amprobe MT204S - Explanation of linear and non-linear mode - 1
Figure 13: Linear mode

In linear mode the MT 204-S detects automatically two standard system voltages:

230V Uin = 230V± 10% 400V Uin = 400V± 10%

To include mains over-voltage, the measured residual voltage is calculated with reference to peak value of max. possible mains over-voltage, i.e.:

Up = 230V× 1.1× 1.41 = 358V standard system voltage 230V Up = 400V× 1.1× 1.41 = 620V standard system voltage 400V

If actual mains voltage differs from nominal system voltage more than ± 10% , the MT204-S scales the result to peak value of actual voltage.

Example 1: Uin = 173 Vef (the value differs more than 10% from 230V), result refers to 173V× 1.41 = 244Vp

Example 2: Uin = 209Vef , the value differs less than 10% from 230V , result refers to 230V × 1.1 × 1.41 = 358Vp

Residual voltage measurement "Non-linear mode"

In non-linear mode it is assumed there are also "non-linear" or unknown components involved in discharge process (relays, gas lamps etc.) and therefore discharge characteristic is non-exponential or even unpredictable, see the diagram below.

Beha-Amprobe MT204S - Residual voltage measurement "Non-linear mode" - 1
Figure 14: Discharge diagram in non-linear circumstances

In this case result can not be scaled to peak value, so actual value after the end of measuring time is registered and evaluated.

In this operation mode the measurement must be repeated several times to ensure the unit under test was tested under varying shut-off conditions. The highest measured value must be recorded.

Trigger conditions

The instrument recognizes disconnection of mains voltage when one of the following two conditions occurs:

  • AC or DC input voltage: If mean value of input voltage drops down with a slope of at least 25V / s (mean value measured each period)

AC input voltage only: If momentary voltage differs from ideal sine waveform value more than 40% of peak value of previous half period (momentary voltage sampled 100 times per period)

  • If in linear mode the mains voltage is disconnected at too low value (<20% of peak value), it means scaling of measurement result to peak value is not possible. In this case "REPEAT THE MEASUREMENT" message appears on the display and the measurement must be repeated.

For further selection, entry and display of instrument's settings, press the "MENU" function key (12), the following selection menu appears.

Prior to cleaning, remove the machinery tester from all measurement circuits and from mains.

Never use acid-based detergents or dissolvent liquids for cleaning.

After cleaning it, do not use the instrument until it is completely dried up.

Calibration interval

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

Fuse replacement

If, due to overload or improper operation, a fuse blows, it is necessary to obey the following notes for replacement:

Beha-Amprobe MT204S - Fuse replacement - 1

Prior to replacement of blown fuse, the Machinery-Tester MT 204-S must be disconnected from all measuring circuits and mains supply cord must be removed.

  • Use only fuses specified and rated in technical specifications.
  • Use of unspecified fuses and in particular shorting fuse-holders is prohibited.
  • Spare fuses can be obtained in electric supplies wholesale shops or in our factory service.

Fuse replacement (mains fuse F1)

In case mains switch pilot lamp (3) does not illuminate after connecting the Machinery-Tester MT204-S to mains outlet and switching on the mains switch and neither the LC-Display (16) shows any indication, it is very likely mains fuse (2) to be blown.

To replace the fuse proceed as follows:

1) Open the fuse holder 1 (2) above the ON/OFF switch by using an appropriate screwdriver
2) Remove the defective fuse and replace it with a new one (T 1 A / 250 V, 5 × 20 ~mm )
3) Close the fuse-holder again

Fuse replacement (fuse F2 for RPE10A, ZI, RISO and HV functions)
