1. 16 th Edition Testing FAQ Common Issues With 16 th Edition Testing

2. 16 th Edition Testing FAQ RCD Current  RCD Current Reads Incorrectly 1. Please note that RCD current specifications are always positive and when writing a procedure this must be taken into account. e.g. 100mA range spec. –0% +10% This means the current will be between 100mA and 110mA to write this into a ProCal procedure, the nominal test value should be 105mA ± 5%

3. 16 th Edition Testing FAQ RCD Current  Does mains voltage affect RCD current? YES! Many of the older RCD testers are affected by mains voltage.  Solution 1. Use a variable voltage mains transformer and set the voltage to the same as the calibrated voltage of the RCD tester. 2. Use a formula in ProEdit to compensate for the different in mains voltage.

4. 16 th Edition Testing FAQ 5I Testing  5I Test Does Not Work Most testers can only work on 5I with a time interval less than 40ms  Solution Set the 2100 to an RCD time interval of less that 40ms

5. 16 th Edition Testing FAQ Uncertainty Statements  Uncertainty Statements Do Not Appear On My Certificate ProEdit procedures requires a reference to a specific uncertainty statement line (up to 10 can be selected)  Solution Check the procedure has a valid uncertainty statement selected, and also check the uncertainty statements using the ProEdit Uncertainty Statements Editor.

6. 16 th Edition Testing FAQ Insulation Test Voltage  Insulation Test Voltage Does Not Measure Some testers output the insulation test voltage, with positive on the black lead.  Solution Reverse the test lead connections to the 2100 terminals

7. 16 th Edition Testing FAQ Selecting Test Points  How Do I Select Which Test Points To Use? As a general rule, 3 test points should be used on a range / function covering low, mid and high points of the range.

8. 16 th Edition Testing FAQ Information Resources  Where Can I Find Answers To Common Usability Issues? The Transmille Web Site contains FAQs for the 2100 which includes application notes with details on how to resolve common issues.
