10.1 General
If the same sequence of single tests will be run frequently (one
after the other with subsequent report generation), for example as
specified in the standards, it’s advisable to make use of test
sequences (also called measuring sequences).
Limit values have been entered for test sequences in accordance
with the standards. And thus a go/no-go evaluation takes place
during measurement based on worst-case assessment. If the
momentary measured value is displayed in green, it lies within the
limit values specified in the standard. If the measured value is red,
is does not fulfill the requirements set forth in the standard. If the
measured value is orange, further entries are required after the
test step (e.g. cable length), which are decisive as to whether or
not the test has been passed. Even if the DUT fails just one single
measurement, the test sequence is aborted and testing in accor-
dance with the selected standard is failed.
Automatic test sequences are run in rotary switch positions
AUTO, as well as A1 through A8.
Test sequences A1 to A8 and AUTO are preconfigured at the fac-
tory.
We recommend assigning frequently used test sequences to A1
through A8, and conducting special sequences for which param-
eters often need to be adjusted in the AUTO switch position.
The measurements are evaluated automatically by the test instru-
ment. Evaluation is based on the worst-case and, depending on
settings, in consideration of measuring uncertainty.
Test Sequences in the AUTO Switch Position
The following test sequences are included as a standard feature
with the SECUTEST BASE(10) in the AUTO switch position:
• DIN VDE 0701-0702
Recurrent test and test after repair and modification of electri-
cal equipment
• IEC 62353
Medical electrical equipment – Recurrent test and test after
repair of medical electrical equipment (applied parts with test
probe P1)
• IEC 60974-4
Arc welding equipment – Part 4: Periodic inspection and test-
ing (voltage measurement with test probe P1 without electrical
isolation). One pole of the voltage to be measured must be
connected to PE at the mains.
The individual sequences are selected with the softkeys.
Test Sequences in Switch Positions A1 to A8 (option)
Up to 8 customer-specific test sequences can be assigned to
these rotary switch positions. The sequences are created at the
PC with the help of Sequence Designer software. Possible
sequence parameters are downloaded from the test instrument to
the PC program and dynamically adapted. The test sequence is
finally uploaded to the SECUTEST PRO as an XML file.
The sequence is tested for errors and plausibility at the PC – not
at the test instrument.
Specifications for the test sequences can be entered to the test
instrument in two different ways:
• SETUP switch position: general settings can be entered which
apply to all test sequences (regardless of the respectively
selected standard).
• Switch positions AUTO and A1 through A8: classification and
sequence parameters can be entered which only apply to the
selected switch position.
Sequence Designer
With the help of Sequence Designer software, test sequences can
be created at the PC and transferred to the test instrument via a
USB connection or a USB flash drive.
If you change or shorten the default test sequences for
the respective standards, the danger exists that they will
no longer be compliant and will thus become invalid as
substantiation of operating safety in accordance with
DGUV regulation 3 or BetrSichV, or will no longer fulfil
these standards.
