Safety Introduction • Introduction: You have acquired a high-quality test adapter that enables you to perform repeatable measurements for an extended period of time. • Designed specifically for testing the function and electrical safety of AC charging stations in mode 3, this adapter can be used in conjunction with suitable test instruments such as installation testers and/or oscilloscopes.
3. Safety Precautions • The utilization of this equipment is restricted to individuals who have undergone appropriate training and are capable of operating it effectively. • In order to achieve optimum performance, it is essential to read the instruction manual before using the product. •...
3-3.Personnel Safety • Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating equipment. • Avoid using equipment when tired or affected by drugs, alcohol, or medication. • Serious personal injury may occur due to a brief lack of attention while operating equipment.
4. Available Measurements and Product Description • The adapter is capable of conducting electrical safety and function tests on mode 3 electric vehicle charging equipment (EVSE) with a type 2 connector . • PE Pre-Test (potential presence of dangerous voltage at PE. terminal by mistake)-touch electrode and led lamp.
5. Before Use 5-1.Standard Equipment • Prior to usage, ensure all the items listed below are present in the package: • Main Unit x 1 • Type 2 Test Cable x 1 • Portable Package x 1 • Instruction Manual x 1 5-2.safety precautions •...
mentioned in the technical specification section. • The adapter should only be used in dry and clean environments as dirt and humidity can reduce insulation resistance and potentially lead to electrical shocks, especially for high voltages. • Never use the adapter in precipitation such as dew or rain, as temperature fluctuations may cause condensation leading to its malfunction.
6. Warning Marks Description 1-Immediate cessation of further testing is necessary if the PE Pre-Test indicator lights up during the test, as it indicates a high risk of electric shock. Ensuring a proper connection between your body and the earth is crucial while performing this test.

8-3-5.CP Error “E” Simulation • The CP Error "E" button can be pressed to simulate a CP error according to IEC/EN 61851-1. • When the CP error "E" button is pushed, a short circuit is created between CP and PE through an internal diode, resulting in the termination of the ongoing charging process.
8-3-9.Measuring Terminals L1, L2, L3, N and PE • The measuring terminals are directly linked to the L1, L2, L3, N, and PE conductors of the tested charging station through the test cable. • These terminals may only be utilized for measurement purposes, and it is not permissible to draw current over an extended period or supply any other electrical loads.
9-3.Fuse Replacement • The fuse (10A (H)/250V, 5x20mm) may blow if there is no voltage between the L and N terminals of the mains socket while the charging connector is connected to the charging station in charging mode. • If a fuse blows due to overload or improper operation, follow these steps for replacement: •...
