Safety Precautions

The test adapter has been manufactured and tested in accordance with the following safety regulations: IEC/EN 61010-1/VDE 0411-1, DIN EN 61326-1/VDE 0843-20-1 Safety of the operator, as well as that of the test adapter, is only assured when it’s used for its intended purpose. Use for intended purpose stipulates application for loop and line impedance measurement ZL-PE and ZL-N as well as insulation resistance measurement RISO exclusively in combination with the
– PROFITEST MTECH+ IQ, as of FW V03.04.04
– PROFITEST MXTRA IQ, as of FW V03.04.04
– PROFITEST PRIME, as of FW V03.05.00 test instruments.
Any other application (e.g. voltage measurement or use in combination with other test instruments) are not permissible. Read the operating instructions carefully and completely before placing your test instrument into service. Follow all instructions contained therein. Make sure that the operating instructions are available to all users of the device. Read the operating instructions for the respective test instrument as well, in particular the sections concerning the measurement of insulation, loop and internal line resistance. Tests may only be performed by a qualified electrician, or under the supervision and direction of a qualified electrician. The user must be instructed by a qualified electrician concerning performance and evaluation of the test (see also training seminars listed at www.gossenmetrawatt.com ).
OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING SAFETY PRECAUTIONS:

• The device may only be connected to elec- trical systems with a maximum of 230/ 400 V which comply with applicable safety regulations (e.g. IEC 60346, VDE 0100) and are protected with a fuse or circuit breaker with a maximum rating of 16 A.
• The test adapter may only be used for tests described in the section entitled “Applications”.
• When using a test probe with coil cord: Grip the tip of the test probe firmly, for example if it has been inserted into a jack socket. Tensioning at the coil cord may otherwise cause the test probe to snap back resulting in possible injury.
• Insulation resistance can only be measured at voltage-free systems.
• Do not touch the test probes during measurement!

FUSE REPLACEMENT
All fuses for the test adapter’s neutral and phase conductors are accessible from the outside (see section 6.3). The fuses may only be replaced when the instrument is voltage-free, i.e. the instrument must be disconnected from mains supply power and may not be
connected to a measuring circuit. The fuse type must comply with the specifications in the technical data or the labeling on the instrument (see section 5).
Opening the Device / Repairs
The test adapter may only be opened by authorized, trained personnel in order to ensure flawless operation and to assure that the guarantee is not rendered null and void. Even original replacement parts may only be installed by authorized, trained personnel. If it can be ascertained that the test adapter has been opened by unauthorized personnel, no guarantee claims can be honored by the manufacturer with regard to personal safety, measuring accuracy, compliance with applicable safety measures or any  onsequential
damages. The test adapter may not be used:

• If external damage is apparent, for example if parts which conduct dangerous touch voltage are freely accessible, and in the event of defective LEDs
• With damaged connection and/or measurement cables, e.g. interrupted insulation or kinked cable
• If it no longer functions flawlessly
• After extraordinary stressing due to transport In such cases, the test adapter must be removed from operation and secured against unintentional use.

Applications

Use of the test adapter eliminates bother- some replugging, and thus reversing of the phases as well during measurement of RISO, ZL-PE and ZL-N.
The following measurements are supported:
L1-PE, L2-PE, L3-PE,
N-PE, L+N-PE,
L1-N, L2-N, L3-N,
L1-L2, L1-L3, L2-L3
The following test instruments are suitable for use with the test adapter:
– PROFITEST MTECH+ IQ, as of FW V03.04.04
– PROFITEST MXTRA IQ, as of FW V03.04.04
– PROFITEST PRIME, as of FW V03.05.00
Indication of Conductor Connections
The LEDs indicate conductor continuity between the connected system and the test instrument’s input:
– RED LED: Switch closed, conductor continuity
– GREEN LED: Switch open, no connection
The line circuit-breaker is opened and closed via the TEST ADAPTER CONTROLLER at the respective test instrument.
Measuring Insulation Resistance RISO in Electrical Systems In order to be able to detect faults in electrical systems which are caused by defective insulation, insulation resistance must be measured between each active conductor and the protective earth conductor. Observe the corresponding chapters in the operating instructions of your test instrument concerning correct measurement procedures.
NOTE!
Thanks to 4-wire measurement, there’s no need to determine the test adapter’s offset value.
Measuring Loop and Line Impedance ZL-PE and ZL-N Loop impedance is the sum of all resistances within the distribution network and the conductors in the branch circuit. In order to be able to determine the effectiveness of residual current devices, loop impedance ZL-PE must be ascertained between the phase conductor and the protective conductor. The same measuring procedure is used for line impedance ZL-N as is also the case for loop impedance ZL-PE. However, the current loop is completed via neutral conductor N, rather than protective conductor PE as is the case with loop impedance measurement. Observe the corresponding chapters in the operating instructions of your test instrument concerning correct measurement procedures.
NOTE!
Thanks to 4-wire measurement, there’s no need to determine the test adapter’s offset value.

Initial Startup

3.1 Testing the LEDs
Before performing any measurements, the LEDs should be tested for correct functioning. The test adapter has to be connected to the test instrument via the serial port to this end. Use the serial interface cable for this purpose (included). After switching the test
instrument on, the LEDs must light up green in all switch positions except for RISO, ZL-P and ZL-N.
3.2 Connecting the Test Instrument to the Test Adapter
Connecting the Measurement Inputs The respective test instrument is always connected to the test adapter via 3 poles using the PRO-SCHUKO plug insert or via safety sockets L, N and PE.
PROFITEST MTECH+ IQ: test plug
PROFITEST MXTRA IQ: test plug
PROFITEST PRIME: probes 1(L), 2(N), 3(PE)
This also applies in the case of 2-pole measurements, because the corresponding probes are controlled from the test instrument via the test adapter controller – the measurement cables or probes no longer have to be manually replugged.
Data Interface Connection
The test adapter must also be connected to the test instrument via the serial port in order to control the line circuit-breaker, for the purpose of indication by means of the conductor LEDs and for power supply. Only use the serial interface cable included in the scope of delivery  to connect the  test adapter with the test instrument.
3.3 Connection to the System or the Mains
The test adapter must be connected to the system for all tests (see connections overview on page 2). The following adapter cables are available for this purpose:

Adapter cable with 5-pole 16 A CEE plug and 4 mm safety plugs (L1, L2, L3, N, PE), CAT III 300 V, cable length: 4.8 m| Connecting-Cable-16| Z570B
Adapter cable with 5-pole 32 A CEE plug and 4 mm safety plugs (L1, L2, L3, N, PE), CAT III 300 V, cable length: 4.8 m| Connecting-Cable-32| Z570C
Adapter cable with 5-pole 63 A CEE plug and 4 mm safety plugs (L1, L2, L3, N, PE), CAT III 300 V, cable length: 4.8 m| Connecting-Cable-63| Z570D
