Testing the electrical connection The operator is responsible for the safety of the electrical installation (incl. on-site electrical connection and equipotential bonding system), in accordance with the fundamental statutory regulations (accident prevention regulations, valid standards). Testing the electrical connection is not part of the test requirements for modification, testing and repeat testing on the electrical devices.
Page 15
The test device is supplied via the mains connection on the top of the device. The TG Basic 2 and TG Basic 2+ devices are automatically deactivated completely after approx. 10 min. Important note! For the TG Basic 2+ tester: The rechargeable batteries are fully charged after approx.

• The „Discharge battery“ function can be found on the Connection menu of the TG Basic 2+. • Press the button to start the discharge process; the screen switches off, the relays switch on and the red LED flashes.
Page 17
Testing electrical appliances The tests required by standards are implemented in the integrated test sequences. Before performing the test, the test object has to be classified in the Profile menu. After repairs, modifications and repeat testing, electrical appliances must also offer users protection comparable with the protection of new appliances against electrical hazards.

Function test After completion of the electrical test, a function test must be carried out on the appliance. A partial test can be sufficient in accordance with legal requirements. Inspecting the inscriptions Safety-related inscriptions, for example stipulations on the direction of rotation, must be checked and, where necessary, renewed or supplemented in suitable form.

Set the automatic test sequence „Extension (protection class I)“ in the Test-Master app. Sample all PE conductor contacts. For individual measurements on the appliance, select „Plug“ under RPE measurement and contact the PE conductor with adapter [A1] or [A2] (TG Basic 2). Use the included test cable for measurement with the TG basic 2+. www.g-mw.de...

Protective earth conductor resistance measurement(e.g. three-phase current test objects) with two measuring lines Select „Probe - Probe“ under RPE measurement for individual measurements on the appliance. Insert the measuring line in the black socket of the test device and connect it to the PE conductor connection of the test object.
Page 26
Touchable, insulated, conductive parts Select „Probe - Probe“ under RPE measurement for individual measurements on the appliance. Measuring touchable parts that are not connected to PE: Sample these parts with the probe. For moving parts, such as those in a drill, sample the chuck in the rotating operating condition, ideally with the optional brush probe.

Insulation resistance LN-PE Automatic test sequence in the Test-Master app: Protection class I (with PE) „Active“ or individual test „Insulation resistance LN-PE“. For individual measurements on the appliance, select „LN - PE“ under = RISO measurement. Check the preset parameters (heat el. YES/NO), correct test voltage (250 V/500 V) if necessary. Insert the test object in the test socket.

Insulation resistance LN-PE of three-phase current test objects with the extension cable adapter Automatic test sequence „Protection class I (with PE) active“ in the Test-Master app or individual test. „Insulation resistance LN-PE’“ For individual measurements on the appliance, select „LN - PE“ under = insulation test.
Page 29
9.10 Substitute leakage current measurement LN-PE The „Substitute leakage current measurement“ is not available in the app!!! Note! The substitute leakage current measurement may only be carried out after the insulation resistance test has been passed. Note! The substitute leakage current measurement is not a sufficient test if the appliance has switching elements that switch all poles, as this measurement does not test the underlying current circuits.
Page 30
9.11 Substitute leakage current measurement LN probe The measurement is made when no voltage is present in the test object. This measurement is carried out between LN and touchable parts insulated from PE (including SELV parts – e.g. the secondary side of power adaptors). 9.12 Substitute leakage current measurement probe-probe Connect the measuring device as shown in the diagram.

9.13 Voltage measurement Insert the test object in the test socket. Automatic test sequence in the Test-Master app: „Protection class I (with PE) active“ or individual measurement. For individual measurements on the appliance, under = Voltage measurement. The Voltage measurement. Caution: The mains voltage is switched on at the shockproof test socket! As soon as there is mains voltage at the test socket, the LED on the high voltage display lights up in red.

9.15 Clip-on ammeter function test (TG Basic 2+ only) Connect the TGSZ 40 clip-on ammeter to test device TG Basic 2+ at the clip-on ammeter connection (15). This cannot be implemented via an automatic sequence in the app!!! For individual measurements on the appliance, select „Clip-on ammeter function test“ under .
Error message, troubleshooting 10.1 The display is off Note: The L or N conductor connection is probably not OK. If the mains is OK, the internal fuse may have blown. 10.2 Touch current measurement shows 0.000 mA That is not an error, it is the normal status. 10.3 Touch current measurement over 0.5 mA Attention! There is voltage present at the touchable conductive parts!!!
