PrimeTest 200 2.0 Operating Instructions Safety Notes This PrimeTest 200 has been built and tested in accordance with: DIN VDE 0404 part 1 and 2. BS EN 61010 part 1. BS EN 61557 part 1, 2, 4 and 10. The PrimeTest 200 has left the factory in a perfectly safe state. To maintain this state and ensure safe operation of the unit, all notes and warnings in these instructions must be observed at all times. This instrument may be used on electric circuits, which comply to over voltage category II.
PrimeTest 200 Operating Instructions It should be noted that the following parts of the PrimeTest 200 are user serviceable and must be replaced with appropriate parts as detailed below: - 1 off fuse, nominal current rating 0.5 A, 600 V AC/DC, Quick Blow, Type F (27B098) 2 off fuse, nominal current rating 10 A, 250 V AC/DC, Anti Surge, Type T (27B106) 6 off Alkaline batteries, 1.5 V AA size. Do not open unit, no other serviceable parts. 4.
PrimeTest 200 Operating Instructions 5.0 General Information 5.1 The polarity indicator 1 is automatic. Only one polarity is indicated with respect to the negative black socket 12 5.2 The bargraph display indicates resistance measurement on a logarithmic scale and voltage measurements on a linear scale. 5.3 Range overflow of the digital display 1 is automatic and is indicated by the greater than symbol >. 5.
PrimeTest 200 7.0 Operating Instructions Electrical Specification Appendix 1 specifies the operating error for all tests and functions of the PrimeTest 200. 7.1 Earth continuity measuring range (rotary switch position Measuring Range 19.99Ω Resolution Accuracy 0.01Ω ±5% +2 digits Analogue bargraph display Bargraph accuracy Open circuit voltage Test current Input protection , and IEC) Overload Protection 300 V AC/DC 0 to 20Ω 10% >4VDC >200mA (0-2Ω) 0.
PrimeTest 200 7.4 Operating Instructions Voltage measuring range Measuring Range 250 V AC/DC Resolution Accuracy 1V ±2% +2 digits Frequency Range Analogue bargraph display Bargraph accuracy Input protection Overload Protection 300 V AC/DC up to 400Hz 0 to 250 V 10% >20MΩ An input voltage of ≥30 V AC/DC, detected between the + and - input measuring terminals, disables the voltage measurement function. A repetitive audible alarm is activated and a flashing high voltage symbol is displayed on the LCD.
PrimeTest 200 7.9 Operating Instructions RCD test Test current Test current accuracy Test duration Trip time accuracy 30mA r.m.s +5%, - 0% 500ms maximum if RCD does not trip ±10% An input voltage of ≥30 V AC/DC, detected between the + and - input measuring terminals, disables the RCD test function. A repetitive audible alarm is activated and a flashing high voltage symbol is displayed on the LCD.
PrimeTest 200 8.2 Operating Instructions Differential Leakage Current, See figure 4. Attention - The Red or Black 4mm test sockets must not be used whilst the PrimeTest 200 is performing a leakage test. Electric Shock Danger. Attention - before a differential leakage current test is performed on a Class I EUT the operator must ensure that the EUT has already passed a Class I safety test. Attention - An RCD may be triggered if the EUT is defective.
PrimeTest 200 Operating Instructions Attention - the differential leakage current measurement can be affected by exposure of the PrimeTest 200 to magnetic fields or current being absorbed by the EUT during differential leakage measurements. Attention - where the input current waveform displays a crest factor of 2 then a percentage error of 2.2% is recorded on the PrimeTest 200 measured value. 8.
PrimeTest 200 8.4 Operating Instructions IEC Lead TEST, IEC See Figure 6. 8.4.1 Select the IEC test function on the rotary switch 10 . Do not connect the IEC lead to the PrimeTest 200, in preparation for an IEC lead test, before the unit is switched on. Failure to comply will result in an error message displayed on the LCD. 8.4.2 To test IEC leads connect the IEC socket side of the lead into the IEC plug 14 . Connect the mains plug side of the lead into the EUT socket 11 . 8.4.
PrimeTest 200 Operating Instructions 8.5.2 Plug the equipment under test (EUT) into the EUT socket 11 on the front of the PrimeTest 200. 8.5.3 Plug the black insulation test lead into the negative, black, socket 12 on the PrimeTest 200. 8.5.4 Connect the other end of the black insulation test lead to any exposed metal parts on the outer cover of the EUT or near the mains input or mains switch if there are no exposed metal parts. 8.5.5 To start a Class II safety test, press the button 9 .
PrimeTest 200 Operating Instructions If the power test is selected but the mains supply has not been connected to the PrimeTest 200 then PE and PN symbols will flash and the test is inhibited. 8.6.7 To start the touch leakage test, press the button 9 . Mains power is applied to the EUT for a period of 2 seconds. 8.6.8 When a longer touch leakage test is required the operator must press and hold the button down, then simultaneously press the lock button down.
PrimeTest 200 Operating Instructions 8.7.7 If an external voltage of 30 V AC/DC or greater is present at the tips of the test probes a repetitive audible alarm sounds along with the flashing high voltage symbol being displayed and the button 9 is inhibited. 8.7.8 In order to proceed, remove the external voltage from the circuit or test object to be measured. 8.7.9 To perform a resistance measurement, press the test button 9 8.7.
PrimeTest 200 8.9 Operating Instructions Temperature Measurement Function, °C. See Figure 11 Attention - Disconnect the IEC mains cable from the IEC socket before commencing this test. Electric Shock Danger! Do not exceed the maximum permitted voltage of 30 V AC/DC with respect to earth potential! Electric shock danger! 8.9.1 Select the temperature measurement function on the rotary switch 10 . The LCD will display two probe symbols to indicate that both the red and black sockets require connections.
