Page 5: Introduction
INTRODUCTION The Amprobe Model Telaris ProInstall-100 and Telaris ProInstall-200 are battery powered electrical installation testers. This manual applies to all models. All figures show the Model Telaris ProInstall-200. These testers are designed to measure and test the following: • Voltage and Frequency • Insulation Resistance (EN61557-2) • Continuity (EN61557-4) • Loop/Line Resistance (EN61557-3) - Page 6 • Do not use the product around explosive gas, vapor or in damp or wet environments. • Do not use test leads if they are damaged. Examine the test leads for damaged insulation, exposed metal, or if the wear indicator shows. Check test lead continuity. • Use only current probes, test leads, and adapters supplied with the product.

Over-temp Wait while the tester cools down. Check the installation, in particular, the voltage Fault Voltage between N and PE. Put the stakes deeper into the soil. Tamp down the soil Excessive Probe directly around the stakes. Pour water around the stakes Resistance but not at the earth ground under test. -
Page 12: Making Measurements
MAKING MEASUREMENTS Measuring Volts and Frequency Figure 8. Volts Display/Switch and Terminal Settings To measure voltage and frequency: 1. Turn the rotary switch to the V position. 2. Use all (red, blue, and green) terminals for this test. You can use test leads or mains cord when measuring AC voltage. -
Page 13: Measuring Continuity
Measuring Continuity Figure 10. Continuity Zero Display/Switch and Terminal Settings A continuity test is used to verify the integrity of connections by making a high resolution resistance measurement. This is especially important for checking Protective Earth connections. Note: In countries where electrical circuits are laid out in a ring, it is recommended that you make an end-to-end check of the ring at the electrical panel. -
Page 14: Loop Impedance (Line To Protective Earth L-Pe)
Loop Impedance (Line to Protective Earth L-PE) Loop impedance is source impedance measured between Line (L) and Protective Earth (PE). You can also ascertain the Prospective Earth Fault Current (PSC) that is the current that could potentially flow if the phase conductor is shorted to the protective earth conductor. The tester calculates the PSC by dividing the measured mains voltage by the loop impedance. -
Page 15: Line Impedance
To measure loop impedance—Hi current tri p mode: If no RCDs are present in the system under test, you can use the high current Line Earth (L- PE) loop impedance test. 1. Turn the rotary switch to the position. 2. Connect all three leads to the L, PE, and N (red, green, and blue) terminals of the tester. Only the calibrated test lead which are in scope of supply must be used! The resistance of the calibrated test leads is subtracted from the result automatically. -
Page 16: Measuring Rcd Tripping Time
WWarning At this step, be careful not to select L-PE because a high current loop test will take place. Any RCDs in the system will tri p if you proceed. Note: Connect the leads in a single-phase test to the system live and neutral. To measure line-to-line impedance in a 3-phase system, connect the leads to 2 phases. - Page 17 WWarning • Leakage currents in the circuit following the residual current protection device may influence measurements. • The displayed fault voltage relates to the rated residual current of the RCD. • Potential fields of other earthing installations may influence the measurement. •...

Page 18: Measuring Rcd Tripping Current
To measure RCD tri pping time using Auto mode: 1. Plug the tester into the outlet. 2. Turn the rotary switch to the position. 3. Press F1 to select the RCD current rating (10, 30, or 100 mA). 4. Press F2 to select Auto mode. 5. -
Page 19: Rcd Testing In It Systems
This test measures the RCD tripping current by applying a test current and then gradually increasing the current until the RCD trips. You can use the test leads or mains cord for this test. A 3 wire connection is required for testing of RCD type B. WWarning •... -

Page 21: Testing Phase Sequence
To measure earth resistance: 1. Turn the rotary switch to the position. 2. Press and release . Wait for the test to complete. • The primary (upper) display shows the earth resistance reading. • Voltage detected between the test rods will be displayed in the secondary display. If greater than 10 V, the test is inhibited. -
Page 22: Memory Mode
Memory mode You can store measurements on the tester: • Telaris ProInstall-100 – up to 399 • Telaris ProInstall-200 – up to 1399 The information stored for each measurement consists of the test function and all user selectable test conditions. Data for each measurement is assigned a data set number, data subset number, and a data id number. -
Page 23: Recalling A Measurement
• If the memory is not full, the data will be saved, the tester will automatically exit Memory mode and the display will revert back to the previous test mode. • If the data identity has been previously used, the display will show STO? Press F2 again to store the data, press F1 to choose another data identity, press exit Memory mode. -
Page 24: Maintaining The Tester
To upload test results: 1. Connect the IR serial cable to the serial port on the PC. 2. Attach the IR adapter and the device to the tester as shown in Figure 23. 3. Start the Amprobe PC software program. 4. -
