The Ampcontrol Outlet Test System – Earth Leakage (OTS-EL) described in this document is the property of AMPCONTROL PTY LTD. It is furnished under a license agreement and is to be used only in accordance with the terms of the agreement.
1.1.5 Operation The OTS-EL is not a primary safety device: it is periodically operated to ensure the correct operation of the primary earth leakage protection on an outlet. It is therefore necessary that it is operated only by trained and competent personnel who can correctly interpret and verify the test results obtained through the use of the OTS-EL.
If there is evidence of physical damage, notify Ampcontrol immediately. Notify Ampcontrol immediately in the case of any discrepancies to the packing list. Keep a record of any claims and correspondence. Photographs are recommended.
Assets and Users are refreshed for selected site. All OTS test records can be accessed by anyone with internet access and authorisation (user account). The OTS-EL will measure both the contactor opening time in addition to the true earth leakage clearing time (time for back EMF voltages to fall below ELV).
4.1.4 Modifications of any form to the Outlet Test System are prohibited. If modifications of any form are made to the OTS-EL, the equipment may no longer be fit for use. If any modifications or damage to the OTS-EL is evident, do not use the equipment and contact Ampcontrol for advice.
4.3.1 OTS-EL Mechanical Installation Information Figure 4.2: OTS-EL Dimensions The OTS-EL Test module performs all the test actuation and measurements. It is a DIN Rail mounted unit that interfaces with the outlet electrics. The terminal layout and description is shown in Figure 4.3 Table 1 respectively.

OTS-EL USER MANUAL MAG-205 Version 3 – DEC/19 4.4 Electrical Installation Information A typical installation diagram of the OTS-EL is shown below, Figure 4.6. The following sub-sections provide a more detailed description of each of the individual circuit elements. Note*:...
The OTS-EL contains an internal high voltage barrier that allows the OTS-EL to directly interface with the phase conductors. The high voltage connections from the OTS-EL must be made on the load side of the outlet’s contactor / breaking device.
MAG-205 Version 3 – DEC/19 4.4.3 Comms Module Connections (RJ45 Port) The OTS-EL interfaces with the user’s compatible tablet via the OTS Comms Module. The Comms Module is connected to the OTS-EL via a standard CAT5 or CAT6 cable (straight-through RJ45 termination).

4.4.5 MC Auxiliary Input Connections (Terminals 8 & 9 or 11 & 12) The MC Auxiliary Input provides feedback to the OTS-EL on the current position of the outlet’s contactor / breaking device. The OTS-EL provides two options for monitoring the MC Auxiliary. The first option is used in 110VAC control circuits, as shown in Figure 4.11.
OTS-EL. If the reports are different (i.e. the last test was conducted on a different device) a new test report will be generated with the data stored on the OTS-EL. This is of particular use if there were any issues with the tablet or Bluetooth connection during testing.
EL test circuit. Once the earth leakage test is initiated, the OTS-EL will measure the time taken for the outlet to open its contactor or breaking device. In addition, the OTS-EL will also monitor the voltage on the load side of this breaking device to determine the time that it takes for the back EMF generated by the connected load to subside to extra low voltage (<50VAC).
Blue Comms Module Connection to Tablet Tablet The RJ45 port is designed to connect the OTS-EL to the Comms Module via a straight through CAT5 or CAT6 cable. CAUTION! The Comms Module Connection Ports are not standard Ethernet ports. These cores carry voltages that will damage an incompatible device if connected.
