CS 2099 Eurocheck Eurocheck operation 4 Eurocheck operation 4.1 Recommended calibration sequence and practice This chapter lists recommended sequence for calibration of installation test instruments. It is not obligatory to follow this sequence. Eurocheck offers additional calibration functions (all functions are explained in detail in the following chapters). Calibration using universal test cable Step Calibrated function...
Eurocheck operation 4.2 Sample test report form Caution: This sample test report form is suitable for Metrel installation test instruments like MI3100 – EurotestEASI. It could be easily modified to suit other types of instruments. It is not based on any regulation or recommendation.
CS 2099 Eurocheck Eurocheck operation 4.3 Selecting calibration function/sub-function The following measurements can be selected with the RCD/LOOP function selection button (see Figure 3.1). Appropriate LED lights when particular function/sub-function is selected: Fault loop and trip-lock impedance calibration (two impedance values available), RCD trip-out time calibration and instrument test current verification.
CS 2099 Eurocheck Eurocheck operation 4.5 Fault loop impedance calibration Fault loop impedance is measured between L and PE conductors. Fault loop calibration will not trip an RCD if it’s present in installation where Eurocheck is connected, regardless of selected IΔn current. Caution: When performing fault loop impedance calibration Eurocheck connects fault loop calibration output to mains line impedance (L and N, important when...

CS 2099 Eurocheck Eurocheck operation 4.6 Trip-lock impedance calibration Fault loop impedance is measured between L and PE conductors. Trip-lock calibration will not trip an RCD if it’s present in installation where Eurocheck is connected, regardless of selected IΔn current. Caution: When performing fault loop impedance calibration Eurocheck connects fault loop calibration output to mains line impedance (L and N, important when...
CS 2099 Eurocheck Eurocheck operation Selected IΔn current will affect dissipation of measurement results. Lower IΔn currents (especially 10 mA) will cause larger variations in results. Consider accuracy of trip-lock function when evaluating calibration results (accuracy is defined in User manual of your instrument). 4.7 Line impedance calibration Line impedance is measured between L and N conductors.
CS 2099 Eurocheck Eurocheck operation 4.8 RCD trip-out time calibration Eurocheck simulates an RCD with IΔn of 30 mA and trip-out time of 50 ms. Trip-out time calibration will not trip an RCD if it’s present in installation where Eurocheck is connected, regardless of selected IΔn current.
It is essential that the test instrument measuring current is within certain limits. For example, standard EN 61557 defines low limit as IΔn – 0 %, and high limit as IΔn + 20 %. Metrel test instruments has even narrower specification, high limit is defined as IΔn + 10 %.
– 0 Ω (short-circuited test leads). Metrel installation test instruments usually offer 2 distinctive functions for measuring low resistances. LowΩ usually stands for measuring low resistances with 200 mA test current, often with automatic polarity reversal. Continuity denotes a function with lower measuring current, usually around 7 mA.

Notes: Most Metrel installation test instruments use L and N measuring leads of universal test cable to perform low resistance measurements. However, there are exceptions to this rule like MI 3101 – EurotestAT, which uses N and PE leads.
– 0 V (short-circuited test leads, not open). Frequency is equal to mains and is usually very close to 50 Hz or 60 Hz. Most Metrel installation test instruments measure all three line voltages: U L-PE .

CS 2099 Eurocheck Eurocheck operation Insulation of measurement leads Insulation of measurement leads may deteriorate over time. This can cause measurement and/or safety related problems. If insulation material leaks current measured results will be wrong. Also in such case there is a risk of electric shock when the user touches deteriorated part of insulation.
