Page 7: Introduction
INTRODUCTION The Beha-Amprobe Model ProInstall-75 is a battery powered multifunction installation tester. This tester is designed to measure and test the following: • Voltage and Frequency • Insulation Resistance (EN61557-2) • Continuity (EN61557-4) • Loop/Line Resistance (EN61557-3) • Residual Current Devices (RCD) Tripping Time (EN61557-6) •... -

Page 9: Unpacking The Tester
UNPACKING AND INSPECTION Your shipping carton should include: • ProInstall-75 • Test lead set • ProInstall-TL-UK (LC38 AMP-MFT, mains test cord) • Alligator clips • Test probe • ProInstall-TL-KIT (Remote test probe and probe tips) • ProInstall-CC (Soft case with carrying strap) •... - Page 10 Number Measurement Function Starts the selected test. The TEST key is surrounded by a “touch pad”. The touch pad measures the potential between the operator and the tester’s PE terminal. If you exceed a 100 V threshold, the W symbol above the touch pad is illuminated. Set RCD variable trip current.

Page 11: Understanding The Display
Understanding the Display Number Description Configuration options. Settings you can make within the measurement functions. For example, in the RCD Tripping Time function ( T) you can press F2 to multiply the test current by x1/2, x1, x5 and you can press F3 to select the type of RCD you are testing. - Page 12 Indicates the preset fault voltage limit. The default setting is 50 V. Some locations require the fault voltage be set to 25 V, as specified by local electrical codes. Press F4 when you turn on the tester to toggle the fault voltage between 25 V and 50 V.

MAKING MEASUREMENTS Measuring Volts and Frequency Figure 3. Volts Display/Switch and Terminal Settings To measure voltage and frequency: 1. Turn the rotary switch to the V position. 2. Use two (red and blue) terminals for this test. You can use test leads or mains cord when measuring AC voltage. -
Page 16: Measuring Continuity
Measuring Continuity Figure 5. Continuity Zero Display/Switch and Terminal Settings A continuity test is used to verify the integrity of connections by making a high resolution resistance measurement. This is especially important for checking Protective Earth connections. Note: In countries where electrical circuits are laid out in a ring, it is recommended that you make an end-to-end check of the ring at the electrical panel. -
Page 17: Loop Impedance (Line To Protective Earth L-Pe)
Loop Impedance (Line to Protective Earth L-PE) Loop impedance is source impedance measured between Line (L) and Protective Earth (PE). You can also ascertain the Prospective Earth Fault Current (PEFC) that is the current that could potentially flow if the phase conductor is shorted to the protective earth conductor. The tester calculates the PEFC by dividing the measured mains voltage by the loop impedance. -

2. Press to select L-PE. 3. Press to select RE (resistance). 4. Press and release . Wait for the test to complete. • The primary (upper) display shows the loop impedance. • The secondary (lower) display shows the earth resistance. Line Impedance Line impedance is source impedance measured between Line conductors or Line and Neutral. -
Page 20: Measuring Rcd Tripping Time
WWarning At this step, be careful not to select L-PE because a high current loop test will take place. Any RCDs in the system will trip if you proceed. Note: Connect the leads in a single-phase test to the system line and neutral. To measure line-to-line impedance in a 3-phase system, connect the leads to 2 phases. - Page 21 WWarning • Test the connection between the N-conductor and earth before starting the test. A voltage between the N-conductor and earth may influence the test. • Leakage currents in the circuit following the residual current protection device may influence measurements. •...

To measure RCD tripping time using Auto mode: 1. Plug the tester into the outlet. 2. Turn the rotary switch to the position. 3. Press F1 to select the RCD current rating (10, 30, or 100 mA). 4. Press F2 to select Auto mode. 5. - Page 23 WWarning • Test the connection between the N-conductor and earth before starting the test.

Page 24: Rcd Testing In It Systems
RCD testing in IT systems RCD testing at locations with IT systems requires a special test procedure because the Protective Earth connection is grounded locally and is not tied directly to the power system. The test is conducted at the electrical panel using probes. Use the connection shown in Figure 13 when performing RCD testing on IT electrical systems. -
Page 25: Maintaining The Tester
To perform a phase sequence test: 1. Turn the rotary switch to the position. 2. The primary (upper) display shows: • 123 for correct phase sequence. • 321 for reversed phase sequence. • Dashes (---) instead of numbers if insufficient voltage is sensed. MAINTAINING THE TESTER Cleaning Periodically wipe the case with a damp cloth and mild detergent. -
