Test Instrument for Testing Electrical Devices, Medical Devices and Welding Units - with Test Sequences per VDE 0701-0702, IEC 62353 and IEC 60974-4
Adherence to Laws, Regulations and Standards Made Easy
Testing of the electrical safety of electrical devices is necessary in many applications and is required in accordance with legislation and regulations set forth by official authorities, operating companies and insurance carriers. Tests must be conducted as a preventive measure after each repair, and within the framework of work safety, at regular intervals in order to protect users.
Reliable, comprehensive and efficient testing of the electrical safety of:
- SECUTEST - Appliance Tester Electrical devices per DIN VDE 0701-0702 and GOST R (ГОСТ Р) 62353
- Including extension cables and PRCDs
- Electrical medical devices per DIN EN 62353
- Arc welding equipment per DIN EN 60974-4
Technical Characteristics
- Connection for a 2nd test probe- for measurement between any two measuring points, e.g. protective conductor resistance, insulation resistance or equivalent leakage current
- Electrically isolated connector sockets for voltage measurements
- For measuring SELV / PELV
- For connecting an AT3-IIIE / AT3-IIS
- For connecting a WZ12C current clamp
- For connecting a SECULOAD
- Touch-screen for data entry at the display
Special Features
- Additional database elements for property, building, floor, room for a better structuring of data and additional fields for department and cost center
- Multi-print - read-out of all test reports which are available for a device under test with 1 finger tip (at a connected Z721S thermal printer)
- Design user-created report templates with “SequenceDesigner” software (free available from myGMC)
- RFID transponder, read/write (Z751R,S,T), with SCANBASE RFID Z751E (UID or memory depending on how the reader is programmed)
- XML data export to a USB stick
- ETC or USB stick data import of all important data into the tester
- Design user-created sequences with “Report Designer” software (free available from myGMC)
Including ETC report generating software with a wide variety of support functions for data acquisition and management, as well as for documenting completed tests.
SequenceDesigner
User-defined test sequences can be created at the PC and transferred to the test instrument.
ReportDesigner
Report templates can be created for the printer Z721S at the PC and transferred to the test instrument.
Display with Selectable Language
The display panel consists of a backlit, color multi-display at which menus, setting options, measurement results, instructions and error messages, as well schematic and wiring diagrams appear.
The display and user prompting can be set to the desired language depending on the country in which the test instrument is used.
Data Entry
Data can be entered, for example, via a barcode reader connected to the USB port, a RFID scanner, a USB keyboard, or via the softkey keyboard when it appears at the display. The touch screen of SECUTEST PRO (or devices with Feature E01) allows for the convenient entry of data and comments while menu control is still based on softkeys.
Creating a Database
A complete test structure with data regarding customers, buildings*, floors*, rooms* and test objects can be created in the test instrument. This structure makes it possible to assign single measurements or test sequences to devices under test belonging to various customers. Manual single measurements can be grouped together into a so-called “manual sequence”.
The SECUTEST PRO test instruments and those instruments with database expansion (Feature KB01) enable the user to prepare a test structure by means of the ETC (Electric Testing Center) software at the PC for subsequent transmission to the test instrument.
Data Interfaces
Structures set up in, and measurement data saved to the test instrument can be imported to ETC report generating software via the USB slave port. Data can then be archived at the PC, comments can be added with the software and reports can be generated. The following input and output devices can be connected to the two integrated USB master ports:
- An external keyboard and a barcode reader
- USB stick for data backup
- A printer
Software Update
The test instrument can always be kept current thanks to firmware which can be updated via the USB slave port. Software is updated during the course of recalibration by our service department, or directly by the customer.
Report Generating Functions
All of the values required for approval reports or device logbooks for electrical equipment (e.g. per ZVEH) can be measured with this instrument. The measured data can be documented and archived thanks to the measurement and test report that can be printed with a thermal printer connected to the USB port, or stored to a PC.
Automatic Detection of Measuring Point Changes
During protective conductor measurement, the test instrument recognizes whether or not the test probe is in contact with the protective conductor, which is indicated by means of two different acoustic signals. This function is very useful where several protective conductor connections need to be tested.
Mains Connection Analysis
Line voltage and frequency are measured and compared with the data specified in the setup menu. Momentary voltage or nominal voltage in accordance with the standard is required, for instance in order to extrapolate measured values for the leakage current measurement.
Automatic Detection of Mains Connection Errors
The device automatically recognizes mains connection errors if the conditions in the following table have been fulfilled. The user is informed of the type of error, and all measuring functions are disabled in the event of danger.

ETC user Software for PC
- ETC offers a wide variety of support options for data acquisition and management.
- Amongst other things, the software acquires all data for reports.
- Test reports (ZVEH) can be generated automatically.
- Structures, once created, can be saved and loaded to the SECUTEST PRO test instrument or other instruments with Feature KB01 via USB connection.
- Data can be exported to Excel, CSV and XML formats.
- Device selection lists can be edited.
