MI 3309 DeltaPAT Automatic test sequences

6 Automatic test sequences

Simple test and Shortcut autotest are the fastest (autotest) modes for testing appliances.

In both test modes pre-programmed measurements run automatically in a sequential

order. The complete autotest results can be stored together with the associated appliance

ID and appliance NAME.

6.1 Simple test

Up to 50 customized sequences can be pre-programmed in this test mode. Typical simple

test sequences are added to the list by default.

The simple test sequences can be also uploaded from the PC software PATLink PRO.

Refer to chapter 8 Communication for more information. The pre-programmed sequences

can be restored to default settings by selecting Initial settings in Setup menu.

The list of pre-programmed simple test sequences can be found in Appendix B of this

manual.

Select Simple test in PAT testing Main menu.

6.2 Shortcut test sequences

In the Shortcut menu any of the pre-defined autotest procedures can be selected. Pre-

programmed sequences cover almost all in-service tests, regardless of appliance type and

safety class.

All limits and tests are in compliance with currently valid standards and regulations. In

case of any changes, new firmware will be available at your distributor or from Metrel

directly.

The number of autotest shortcut sequences that are offered by the instrument can be set

in the SHORTCUT SETUP menu. The complete list of autotest shortcut sequences can be

found in Appendix C of this manual.

Note:

 The DeltaPAT instrument does not include all test functions and parameters

covered in the Shortcut codes. If such a Shortcut code is set the instrument

automatically perform alternative tests :

- a 200 mA Earth continuity test if a test current of more than 200 mA is set.
