and completely in order to ensure safe and

proper use.

from operation permanently and secure

it against inadvertent use.

•

If there are any signs of interior damage

to the instrument or accessories (e.g.

loose parts in the housing), permanently

remove the instrument/accessories from

operation and secure them against inad-

vertent use.

Route cables in an orderly fashion, e.g.

the mains power cable. Loose, disor-

derly cables result in unnecessary dan-

ger of tripping and falling.

The instrument may only be used for the

measurements/tests described in the

documentation for the instrument.

The instrument may only be connected to

electrical 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 cir-

cuit breaker with a maximum rating of

16 A.

The test adapter may only be used for

testing mode 2 and 3 charging cables.

No power consuming devices may be

connected to any of the sockets.

Measurements within electrical systems

are prohibited.

Read the operating instructions for the

respective test instrument as well, in particu-

lar the sections concerning the R

ISO

PE, R

and time-to-trip measurements, as well as

the tripping test.

General

•

Measurements/tests may only be per-

formed by a qualified electrician, or

under the supervision and direction of a

qualified electrician. The user must be

instructed by a qualified electrician con-

cerning performance and evaluation of

2.1

Intended Use /

Use for Intended Purpose

The PROFITEST EMOBILITY is an adapter

for standards-compliant testing of single and

3-phase, mode 2 and 3 charging cables with

simulation of faults in accordance with DIN

EN 50678 VDE 0701 / DIN EN 50699 VDE

0702 and per manufacturer’s specifications.

Some measurements/tests can be per-

formed with the adapter only, others require

a compatible test instrument or accessory.

•

Fully unroll all measurement cables

before starting a test/measurement.

Never perform a test/measurement with

the measurement cable rolled up.

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.

Test Adapter

The following faults can be simulated using

the test adapter with mains supply to a

charging cable:

•

Interruption of individual conductors

(undervoltage detection)

Reversed wires

Fuses

•

The instrument may only be used as long

PE to phase

as the fuses are in flawless condition.

Defective fuses must be replaced.

Never bridge the fuses. Never put the

fuses out of operation.

(Interference voltage in the protective

conductor due to connection of the

phase conductor to the protective con-

ductor)

•

Evaluation of the charging cable’s reaction to

each fault is strictly visual in this case via the

ICCB indicator lamp or the LEDs at the test

adapter.

the user (go/no-go) for later documentation.

It depends on the respective test instrument

whether or not and which test sequences

are available.

The test sequences are provided free of

charge for download from the myGMC por-

tal, however, it is the responsibility of the

user to import them into the test instrument.

Protective conductor current or bias current

may result in premature tripping of RCDs

used in ICCBs.

For this reason, the protective conductor is

led out of the housing as a loop between

surface mount sockets 4 and 6. This makes

it possible to measure any protective con-

ductor current with the help of a current

clamp transformer.

You therefore require an additional current

clamp transformer (e.g. METRACLIP 61).
