USER MANUAL TV 900 Testboy

WARNING Read this manual carefully before using the instrument. Failure to use the instrument in accordance with the manufac- turer’s specifications can affect the protection which it provides.

WARNING Sources of danger include e.g. mechanical parts, which can cause serious injuries. Objects are also at risk (e.g. damage to the instrument).

WARNING An electric shock can result in death or serious injury and jeopardise the function of objects (e.g. damage to the instru- ment).

WARNING Unauthorised modification and/or changes to the instrument are not permitted for reasons of safety and approval (CE). In order to ensure safe and reliable operation of the instrument, you must always comply with the safety information, warnings and the information contained in the section “Intended use”.

WARNING Observe the following information before using the instrument: | Avoid operating the instrument near to electric welding equipment, induction heaters or other electromagnetic fields. | To stabilise the instrument after abrupt changes in temperature, it must be allowed to adjust to the new ambient tem- perature for approx. 30 minutes before use. | Temperatures below 5 °C can impair the readiness of the voltage tester. Please provide a sufficient power supply by using suitable batteries as specified for the deployed temperature range! | Do not expose the instrument to high temperatures for a long period of time. | Avoid dusty and humid environments. | The voltage tester and accessories are not toys and must be kept out of the reach of children! | When working in industrial facilities, comply at all times with the accident prevention regulations for electrical systems and equipment as established by the employers’ liability insurance association.

Please observe the five safety rules: 1 Disconnect 2 Secure against reactivation 3 Ensure isolation from the power supply (check that there is no voltage on both poles) 4 Earth and short-circuit 5 Cover adjacent live parts

WARNING | Compared with the reference value of 100 k, a voltage tester with relatively low impedance does not indicate all interference voltages with an original value above the ELV. On contact with the parts of the system to be tested, dis- charge can mean that the voltage tester temporarily diminishes the interference voltages to a level under the ELV. Removing the voltage tester returns the interference voltage to its original value. | Compared with the reference value of 100 k, a voltage tester with relatively high internal impedance will not clearly indicate “Operating voltage not present” when an interference voltage exists. | If the display “Voltage present” does not appear, we strongly recommend that you insert the earthing device before starting the work. | If the display “Voltage present” appears for a part that is considered to be separate from the system, we strongly rec- ommend that you take additional action (e.g.: use a suitable voltage tester, visually check the separating point in the electrical network, etc.), verify and determine the “Operating voltage not present” state of the part of the system to be tested and determine that the voltage indicated by the voltage tester is an interference voltage.Safety information Testboy

TV 900 Operation Thank you for deciding on the Testboy TV 900, an EVSE (Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment) adapter. This test adapter is an accessory for additional Testboy measuring instruments and testers, for example, to carry out safety or func- tion tests using an installation tester. It has a type 2 connector for testing charge accessories for electric vehicles (EVSE Mode 3). The solid housing of the Testboy TV 900 means that it can also be used under harsh operating conditions. The Testboy TV 900's LED display is intended as a guide value rather than a reading. For this, suitable measuring/test equipment should be used! Safety information You have chosen an instrument providing a high degree of safety. To ensure safe and correct application, it is necessary to fully read this operating manual before using the instrument for the first time. 1) Type 2 connector 2) Phase indicator 3) Banana jacks for phases L1, L2, L3 4) Banana jack for CP 5) Banana jack for PE 6) CP-State rotary switch 7) Phase rotary switch 8) CP-State E (Fault Simulation) button 9) Socket 10) BNC jack 11) Banana jack for N 12) PP-State rotary switch 13) PE Fault Simulation button The following safety precautions apply: | If the display fails to indicate one or more functions, then do not continue to use the instrument. It must be checked by a specialist. | Avoid contact with the banana jacks (3, 4, 5, 11)! (Refer to the figure) | The instrument must not be operated in a humid environ-ment! | Always keep the instrument dry and clean. The housing should only be cleaned using a damp cloth. | The various signals displayed by the voltage tester should not be used for measurement purposes.

Function The instrument simulates a connected electric vehicle and enables various charge states to be simulated. The TV 900 has various measuring and tapping points. To switch on the instrument, connect the type 2 connector to a charge column. When the charge column is enabled, the LEDs indicate the phase(s). The “CP-State” (Control Pilot Resistance) rotary switch can be used to simulate various charge states. The banana jacks enable testing using various test leads. The BNC jack enables an oscilloscope to be used. Additional measuring instruments can be connected to the socket. The phases can be switched with the relevant rotary switch. The “PP-State” (Proximity Pilot Resistance) switch can be used to simulate a cable (N.C., 13 A, 20 A, 32 A, 63 A are selectable). The “CP-State E” and “PE Fault Simulation” buttons can be used to simulate fault states. E.g. a PE conductor break.

WARNING The socket has a maximum load capacity of 5 A! It is also important not to switch between phases under load!Operation Testboy

TV 900 13 ENGLISH ENGLISH Test procedure Connect your installation tester to the socket (alternatively to the banana jacks) on the TV 900. Select CP-State “A” and PP-State “N.C.”. Then connect the type 2 connector for the TV 900 to the charge equipment/column to be tested. Installation tests can only be carried out for voltage-free installation circuits. Now simulate the various charge conditions with the CP-State and PP-State rotary switches. Observe the feedback from the charge equipment/column. The “Phase” rotary switch can be used to switch the phases to the sockets, so that each phase can be tested individually via the socket. Via the BNC jack on the head piece of the instrument, an oscilloscope can also be connected. PP-State explanation Position Description N.C. Incorrect operation or connector not connected 13 A 20 A 32 A 63 A Setting for maximum current of EV cable TV 900 is connected to the charge equipment/column and can carry out testing in each of these settings.

CP-State explanation Position Simulation Description

Charge equipment/column is not connected TV 900 is idle, charge equipment/column does not supply energy

Charge equipment/column is connected TV 900 has been detected, charge equipment/column does not supply energy

Charge equipment/column is active without fan Charge equipment/column is ready for charging, TV 900 starts the charge process and does not require ventilation, energy supply only if there is no ventilation.

Charge equipment/column is active with fan Charge equipment/column is ready for charging, TV 900 starts charge process and re- quires ventilation, energy supply only if there is no ventilation.

Fault simulation The TV 900 test adapter has the option to simulate two faults that could occur on charge columns. CP-State E can be activated with the switch on the left of the socket. This corresponds to a fault or a break in the communication between the vehicle and the charge column. A short circuit is switched via a diode between PE and CP. This sometimes trips the fuse of the charging station! The button on the right of the socket can be used to interrupt the PE conductor. It is then possible to check whether the charge col- umn responds accordingly to this fault. Cleaning Use a damp cloth and mild household detergent to clean the instrument should it become soiled through daily use. Never use harsh cleaning agents or solvents to clean the instrument.

To avoid electric shocks, do not allow moisture to penetrate the housing.Technical data 14 Testboy
