2 Application
This instrument fulfills the requirements of the applicable EU
guidelines and national regulations. We confirm this with the CE
mark. The relevant declaration of conformity can be obtained from
GMC-I Messtechnik GmbH.
The measuring and test instrument allows for quick and efficient
testing of protective measures in accordance with DIN VDE 0100-
600:2008 (Erection of low-voltage installations; tests – initial tests),
as well as ÖVE-EN 1 (Austria), NIV/NIN SEV 1000 (Switzerland)
and other country-specific regulations.
The test instrument complies with IEC 61557/EN 61557/
VDE 0413 regulations:
Part 1: General requirements
Part 2: Insulation resistance
Part 3: Loop resistance
Part 4: Resistance of earth connection and equipotential bonding
Part 5: Earth resistance
Part 6: Effectiveness of residual current devices (RCDs) in TT and
TN systems
Part 7: Phase sequence
Part 10: Electrical safety in low-voltage systems up to 1000 V AC
and 1500 V DC – Equipment for testing, measuring or
monitoring of protective measures
The test instrument is especially well suited for:
• Systems setup
• Initial start-up
• Periodic testing
• Troubleshooting in electrical systems
All of the values required for approval reports (e.g. per ZVEH) can
be measured with this test instrument.
All acquired data can be archived, and measurement and test
reports can be printed out at a PC. This is of special significance
where product liability is concerned.
The applications range of the test instrument covers all alternating
and three-phase current systems with nominal voltages of 230 V /
400 V (300 V / 500 V) and nominal frequencies of 16⅔ / 50 / 60 /
200 / 400 Hz.
The following can be measured an tested with the test instrument:
• Voltage / frequency / phase sequence
• Loop impedance / line impedance
• Residual current devices (RCDs)
• Earth resistance / earth loop resistance (relative to the mains)
• Insulation resistance
• Low-value resistance (potential equalization)
• Voltage drop
Refer to section 19.3 regarding testing of electrical machines in
accordance with DIN EN 60204.
Refer to section 19.3 for periodic testing in accordance with
DGUV regulation 3 (formerly BGV A3).

Using Cable Sets and Test Probes

• KS-PROFiTEST INTRO (Z503L)
• Remote control with measurement key (Z550A), optional
accessory
Measurements per DIN EN 61010-031 may only be performed in
environments in accordance with measuring categories III and IV
with the safety cap attached to the test probe at the end of the
measurement cable.
In order to establish contact inside 4 mm jacks, the safety caps
have to be removed by prying open the snap fastener with a
pointed object (e.g. the other test probe).
See also section 17.1, "Technical Data for Measurement Cables
and Adapters", beginning on page 52.
