10.1 General
If the same sequence of single tests will be run frequently (one 
after the other with subsequent report generation), for example as 
specified in the standards, it’s advisable to make use of test 
sequences (also called measuring sequences).
Limit values have been entered for test sequences in accordance 
with the standards. And thus a go/no-go evaluation takes place 
during measurement based on worst-case assessment. If the 
momentary measured value is displayed in green, it lies within the 
limit values specified in the standard. If the measured value is red, 
is does not fulfill the requirements set forth in the standard. If the 
measured value is orange, further entries are required after the 
test step (e.g. cable length), which are decisive as to whether or 
not the test has been passed. Even if the DUT fails just one single 
measurement, the test sequence is aborted and testing in accor-
dance with the selected standard is failed.
Automatic test sequences are run in rotary switch positions 
AUTO, as well as A1 through A8.
Test sequences A1 to A8 and AUTO are preconfigured at the fac-
tory.
We recommend assigning frequently used test sequences to A1 
through A8, and conducting special sequences for which param-
eters often need to be adjusted in the AUTO switch position.
The measurements are evaluated automatically by the test instru-
ment. Evaluation is based on the worst-case and, depending on 
settings, in consideration of measuring uncertainty.
Specifications for the test sequences can be entered to the test 
instrument in two different ways:
• SETUP switch position: general settings can be entered which 
apply to all test sequences (regardless of the respectively 
selected standard).
• Switch positions AUTO and A1 through A8: classification and 
sequence parameters can be entered which only apply to the 
selected switch position.
Test Sequences in the AUTO Switch Position
The following test sequences are included as a standard feature 
with the SECUTEST BASE(10) in the AUTO, A1 to A8 switch positions:
• DIN VDE 0701-0702 
Recurrent test and test after repair and modification of electri-
cal equipment
• IEC 62353 
Medical electrical equipment – Recurrent test and test after 
repair of medical electrical equipment (applied parts with test 
probe P1)
• IEC 60974-4 
Arc welding equipment – Part 4: Periodic inspection and test-
ing (voltage measurement with test probe P1 without electrical 
isolation). One pole of the voltage to be measured must be 
connected to PE at the mains.
The individual sequences are selected with the softkeys.
Test Sequences in Switch Positions AUTO, A1 to A8
Up to 8 customer-specific test sequences can be assigned to 
these rotary switch positions. The sequences are created at the 
PC with the help of Sequence Designer software. The measure-
ments and parameters available in your SECUTEST version are 
loaded from the test instrument and provided in the PC software 
for this purpose. Finally, the created test sequence can be loaded 
directly into the SECUTEST... (prerequisite: database extension 
Z853R or feature KB01) and saved to the computer as an XML 
file. As a rule, customer-specific (user-defined) test sequences are 
identified with a prefixed asterisk on the SECUTEST user inter-
face. 
Sequence Designer
With the help of Sequence Designer software, test sequences can 
be created at the PC and transferred to the test instrument via a 
USB connection or a USB flash drive.
Attention!
!
If you change or shorten the default test sequences for 
the respective standards, the danger exists that they will 
no longer be compliant and will thus become invalid as 
substantiation of operating safety in accordance with 
DGUV regulation 3 or BetrSichV, or will no longer fulfil 
these standards.
