WARNING

An electric shock can result in death or severe injury. It can also lead to property damage and damage to this instrument.

WARNING

Never point the laser beam directly or indirectly (on reflective surfaces) towards the eyes. Laser radiation can cause irreparable damage to the eyes. You must first deactivate the laser beam when measuring close to people.

General safety notes

WARNING

Unauthorized changes or modifications of the instrument are forbidden – such changes put the approval (CE) and safety of the instrument at risk. In order to operate the instrument safely, you must always observe the safety instructions, warnings and the information in the "Proper and Intended Use" Chapter.

WARNING

Please observe the following information before using the instrument:

Do not operate the instrument in the proximity of electrical welders, induction heaters and other electromagnetic fields.
After an abrupt temperature fluctuation, the instrument should be allowed to adjust to the new temperature for about 30 minutes before using it. This helps to stabilize the IR sensor.
Do not expose the instrument to high temperatures for a long period of time.
Avoid dusty and humid surroundings.
Measurement instruments and their accessories are not toys. Children should never be allowed access to them!
In industrial institutions, you must follow the accident prevention regulations for electrical facilities and equipment, as established by your employer's liability insurance organization.

Please observe the following five safety rules:

1 Disconnect.
2 Ensure that the instrument cannot be turned back on again.
3 Ensure isolation from the main supply voltage (check that there is no voltage on both poles).
4 Earth and short-circuit.
5 Cover neighbouring parts that are under live electrical load.

Function

Thank you for choosing the Testboy® TV 950, an EVSE tester with LED display. This device can be used to test the function of EVSE charging posts. The LEDs indicate which and how many phases are present at the charging socket. In addition, the plug interlock can be tested, if this is given.

Function

The Testboy TV 950 is an EVSE charging pole tester that checks the most important charging pole functions in no time at all to ensure safe charging. The device simulates a vehicle ready for charging, checks the plug interlock and shows the applied phases via LED display.

Preparation

To switch on the device, hold the unlock button and connect it to your EVSE charging pole. Release the unlock button as soon as the TV 950 is fully plugged in. It is possible that the charging pole will unlock automatically, otherwise it is necessary to unlock the charging pole via user interface. To test the charging pole, it must be unlocked. Before the test procedure, make sure that any required documents, such as an activation code, are available.

Checking the plug locking

When the charging pole has been unlocked and is ready for charging, the TV 950 can be plugged into the EVSE charging pole. As soon as the tester has been plugged in, the automatic locking of the charging pole should arrest the TV 950 (CP state B).

Phase display

If the EVSE charging station has been enabled and the TV 950 is plugged into the charging station, the charge key can be pressed and held (CP state C). When the charge button is pressed, the device indicates which phases are present (e.g. L1, L2, L3). When the load key is released, the simulated load process is completed.

Unlocking the plug / removing the device

To remove the device from the charging pole, press and hold the unlock button and disconnect the device at the same time (CP-State A).

CP-State explanation

Position	Simulation	Description
A	Charge equipment/column is not connected	TV 950 is idle, charge equipment/column does not supply energy
B	Charge equipment/column is connected	TV 950 has been detected, charge equipment/column does not supply energy
C	Charge equipment/column is active without fan	Charge equipment/column is ready for charging, TV 950 starts the charge process and does not require ventilation, energy supply only if there is no ventilation.

Cleaning

Use a damp cloth and mild household detergent to clean the instrument should it become soiled through daily use. Never use aggressive cleaning agents or solvents to clean the instrument.

To avoid electric shocks, do not allow moisture to penetrate the housing.

Maintenance

The instrument does not require special maintenance when used as specified in this operating manual.
