2. Voltage measurement L-N, TRMS
3. Residual Current (RCD) type A, AC, and F with CONTACT VOLTAGE measurement
4. Z LOOP (Global earth resistance in TT system and impedance L-Pe in TN with short circuit current)
5. Short circuit current
6. Voltage harmonics up to 49th
7. THD% (Total harmonics Distortion)
8. Frequency of the fundamental Harmonics and up to 49th

VOLT and SOCKET TEST

This feature measures the voltage between phase and neutral and tests the socket wiring according to local requirements.

1. Plug the instrument into the socket.
2. Select the Voltage function with the button.
3. The display will show the voltage between Phase and Neutral if the socket is correctly wired and the voltage contact is 50V.

Solution:

• Adjust the socket wiring
• Connect Neutral wire

INTRODUCTION

Congratulations for purchase Rapid Pro, the first multifunction tester in the shape of a socket tester.It allow the test of electrical system according the IEC standard as the common installation tester do.In addition to the TRMS Voltage measurement and the Socket Tester features allow Installation test to be performed from anyone ( RCD, LOOP L-PE ) in according to IEC61557-3 and IEC61557-6. Super bright color Display TFT 1,77” With internal memory for store results.Super- Cap technology let the instruments turn on even when disconnected from the socket.

SAFETY and WARNINGS

Attention: Follow the instructions given in the manual; improper use could cause damage to the instrument or create dangerous situations for the operator.
High Voltage Danger: risk of electric shocks

This products is manufactured following IEC/EN61010-1, guidelines for safety installation testers.Follow this user manual for avoid damage the instruments :

• Do not measure in high humidity or wet enviroment.
• Avoid measurement in highly flammable place.
• Avoid contact with the circuit unders test if you are not measuring
• Avoid contact with metallic part that can be under voltage
• If the instruments look broken or damaged please avoid the use for measure.

Maximum Voltage input is 265 V .Do not connect the instrument to higher voltage. Permanent damage to the instruments and electrical shock can occur if you don’t respect this guidelines.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

Rapid Pro execute the following test:

1. VOLT and Socket Test (Correct wiring of Plug)
2. Voltage measurement L-N , TRMS
3. Residual Current (RCD) type A, AC and F also in AUTO mode with CONTACT VOLTAGE measurement
4. Z LOOP (Global earth resistance in TT system and impedance L-Pe in TN with short circuit current )
5. Short circuit current
6. Voltage harmonics up to 49 th
7. THD% (Total harmonics Distortion)
8. Frequency of the fundamental Harmonics and up to 49 th

Function can be selected thorugh the dedicated button. Sub function features can be selected through the arrow button for example for selecting the RCD type or evaluate different harmonics. The instruments is powered from the line and due to the SUPERCAP technology can keep the power even when disconnected from the line. Fully charged supercap allow 45 second after switch off from the line. This allow the user to read the value after the RCD is tripped out(with tripping time) or when is difficult to read the display value Outcome are always GREEN when the measured value is correct in according the local regulations or RED when the test is not passed. In the SOCKET TEST uncorrect value the instruments generate also a sound alarm.

Arrow button ,allow to select subparameters for test and read the memory or to analyze the harmonics value up to 49th. Red button can start the RCD test or LOOP Resistance ( no trip RCD).

VOLT e SOCKET TEST

This feature measure Voltage between phase and neutral and test the socket wiring in according to local requirement.

Operation

Plug the instruments in the socket and select Voltage function with button.Voltage between Phase and Neutral will be shown at display if socket is correctly wired and voltage contact is <50V (Fig 1) error due to the uncorrect wiring is shown(Fig 2 e 3). Green bar indicate every parameter is correct. Frequency can be shown through button .

Wiring Error ( bar is Red and sound alarm)

• Phase – Neutral Reverse
• Phase – Ground Reverse
• Open Neutral
• No Ground
• Voltage contact >50V

Solution

• Adjust the socket wiring
• Adjust the socket wiring
• Connect Neutral wire
• Check Earth connection
• Dangerous Voltage on mass

RCD (RESIDUAL CURRENT DEVICE)

This feature allow test of RCD according EC/EN 61557-6 with tripping time and Voltage contact. Test Current of 30 mA is injected through the ground for type A , AC and F.

Test Mode

• x1 IΔn –Test with 30mA
• x5 IΔn –Test with 150mA
• AUTO –Test sequence x1/2 – x1/2 180° – x1 – x1 180° – x5 – x5 180°

RCD x1 , x5

• Connect RapidPro to the socket and press FUNC in order to select RCD function.

• Press the button for select the type of RCD and button for select the current (x1,x5) Press RED button for 3 second for start the measure.

• Tripping Time is shown on the display and Green bar means the test is performed correctly Vc is the contact Voltage. If Contact Voltage >50V the RCD tripping test will be stopped and the bar became RED

• Display shown tripping time is higher than the limit standard and Red Bar means outcome NOT OK (Fig 5). Vc is the Contact Voltage.

AUTO function

Plug the instrument in the socket and press FUNC for select RCD function. Press arrow button for select type of RCD and button for select function AUTO . Start measuring by pressing the Red button,The instruments will execute all test in sequence when you re-arm the RCD and voltage is on.

AUTO mode consist of 6 test in the folowing sequence:

• Display Show RCD tripping time in ms. For every STEPtripping time in ms will be shown. GREEN (Fig 6) if the test and tripping time are conform to local tripping time regulamentation.
• Value in RED (Fig 7) means the test is not conform to the local guideline and the test will be stopped.

LOOP

The measurament is performed according IC/EN61557-3 it measure impedance between Phase and Ground without RCD trip. Test Mode:

• TT: Measure Earth Resistance (0) and Contact Voltage (V) Fig.8
• TN: Measure Impedance Z L-Pe (S) and Ipsc prospective short circuit current (A) Fig.9
• Std: Test with 15mA nominal current
• Low: Test with 6mA. Use this setup if during the test the RCD trip due to the presence of leakage current in the electric system under test.

LOOP FUNCTION

• Plug Rapid PRO in the socket and press FUNC button for select LOOP. Press button for select TT or TN and press button for select TEST STD or LOW.
• Press the RED button for 2 second to start the measurement

WARNING: During the LOOP measurement, if the SUPER CAP is not fully charged, the Display may switch off or decrease the intensity, however the measurement will be performed and shown at the end.

LOOP TT e TN

• Z line:  PE impedance measurement in TT system
• Z: Global Earth Resistance
• Vc: Contact Voltage
• NOTE: Limit for earth ground resistance is defined as:
• Vc: Contact Voltage Limit (50V o 25V)
• IΔn: Nominal RCD current

Impedance measurement Zs L-pe in TN system

• Z: Fault Ground Impedance L-Pe
• Ipsc: Prospective short circuit current (for check correct sizing of MCB or FUSE protecting the system)

HAR VOLTAGE HARMONICS

This function allow to check Voltage quality and harmonics up to 49th .
TEST MODE
