GETEST SAFETY PRECAUTIONS Follow the warnings described in this manual with the symbols shown below. DANGER Warns of a risk, which could result in personal injury or material damage. ATTENTION Indicates that special attention should be paid to a specific point. -
Page 6: What Should It Be Used For
GETEST 2.2.- WHAT SHOULD IT BE USED FOR? The Getest unit is designed to measure step and contact voltages that may arise in a transformer substation, substation, etc. It also gives you the option of calculating the approximate earthing resistance to be tested. . -
Page 7: Verifications On Receiving
• 2 switches • Instruction Manual If any problem is noticed upon reception, immediately contact the transport company and/or CIRCUTOR's after-sales services 3.1.- RECEPTION PROTOCOL Make sure that the unit has not been damaged during transport. Check that the unit received matches the order and that its electrical features are suitable for the grid where it is to be connected. -

Page 12: Unit Installation
6.1.- INSTALLATION The Getest may be powered directly from the mains (230 Vac and 50-60 Hz) or from a single- phase generator set. The required power of the generator set will depend on the value of the circuit loop resistance. This means that the bigger the loop resistance (test earthing plus auxiliary earthing), the more power the generator set must have in order to inject the current required by the user. -

Required power ≥ (600 V x current to be injected) 3.- Flip the switch (6). The red LED will light up. 4.- Before connecting the telephone and unit via Bluetooth, we first have to link the Getest unit to the telephone as follows: Touch the following icon on the phone's main screen which will take you to settings 5.- Select the "Wireless connections"... - Page 16 GETEST 7. Once the unit is linked, return to the Circutor Getest program. Select the linked unit by opening the following window and then clicking on the "Connect" icon. 8.- Turn the safety switch (5) to the "Enabled" position. 9.- Select the testing mode (resistance, step or contact). If you select "resistance" you must indicate the test current.

Page 18: Connection Diagrams
CONNECTION DIAGRAMS Hardware earthing and auxiliary earthing connection Connect one of the GETEST's injection terminals (IP) to the hardware earthing or the transformer substation's or substation's protection earthing. Do not confuse the hardware earthing with that of the service, although in some earthing systems they will be interconnected. Connect the other GETEST injection terminal (IP) to the auxiliary earthing that we have previously created. -
Page 19: Step Voltage
Auxiliary earthing tested Connect the roll of 2-wire cable (yellow-green) to the Getest's voltage terminals (yellow-green). Run the other end to the weights, one cable for each weight. Arrange the weights one metre apart from each other, simulating the passage of a person. The step and contact measurements are taken... -
Page 20: Contact Voltage
GETEST in places where dangerous voltages could appear if the installation suffers an earthing fault (around the centre, within the centre, etc.). The recommended distance between the hardware earthing and the auxiliary earthing is 5 times the diagonal of the substation or transformer substation premises. The... -
