  • Page 13: Functionality Description

    The measurement electronics are supplied via an internal fuse. Memory The measurement values can only be stored in the Test-Master app on a mobile phone or tablet. Test devices TG Basic 2 / TG Basic 2+ do not have internal memory. www.g-mw.de...
  • Page 14 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.
  • Page 16 • 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.
  • Page 18 Electrical connection According to the fundamental statutory regulations, the accident prevention regulations and valid standards, it is not the manufacturer of the appliances to be connected who is responsible for the safety of the on-site electrical connection and, where applicable, connection of the equipotential bonding system to the device;...
  • Page 19 The arrow keys can be used to activate additional functions, like standby power measurement and polarity reversal of phase and neutral conductor. • Additional functions in the TG Basic 2+ • Clip-on ammeter function test = Differential current and phase current can be tested here with a clip-on ammeter.
  • Page 20 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.
  • Page 21 ‘Enter’ to finish. The measured value is saved until the next restart. The TG Basic 2+ testers do not always need to be supplied with mains voltage. Certain tests can be carried out with battery power.

  • Page 25 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.
  • Page 27 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.

  • 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.
