REVEXmax - User’s Manual 1 Introduction

1 Introduction

1.1 Safety

WARNING

Read this User’s Manual carefully and completely and follow

all instructions contained therein. If not, the use of the in-

strument may be dangerous for the operator, devices under

test or for the instrument!

If there is reason to believe that safe operation has become impossible,

put the instrument out of operation and secure it against any unin-

tended operation. Safe operation must be presumed to be no longer

possible, if:

•The instrument does not operate properly any longer.

•The instrument, cables, connectors, plugs or accessories exhibits

visible damages.

•The instrument was stored in unfavourable conditions for a long

period.

•The instrument was exposed to extraordinary stress caused by

transport.

WARNING

•Make sure that the instrument, measuring cables and all other

accessories are in ﬂawless condition, e.g. no damaged insulation,

no broken cables or plugs etc.

•Make sure that the AC outlet is easily accessible. If some trouble

or malfunction occurs, immediately disconnect the REVEXmax

adaptor from the outlet.

•If the equipment is used in a manner not speciﬁed by the manu-

facturer, the device’s protection may be compromised.

•The instrument may only be powered from a 230 V / 50 Hz

grounded mains outlet, which is protected with a fuse or circuit

breaker with a maximum rating of 16 A.

•In order to check the proper PE connection to a mains outlet,

REVEXmax generates a continuous current of ca. 1.5 mA /

50 Hz to the PE conductor. This test current can activate the

insulation monitoring device in IT systems.

•Only a trained, skilled person, who is familiar with hazardous

voltage operations, can handle the REVEXmax. Unexpected

hazardous voltages can occur on devices under test (dangerously

charged capacitors, etc.).

REVEXmax - User’s Manual 1 Introduction

WARNING

•It is necessary to respect all safety regulations applicable to the

particular measurement.

•Test Socket 1of the REVEXmax must not be used for contin-

uously powering the appliance. It is intended for test purposes

only; max. test duration is 25 min @ ≤12 A and 60 s @ 12÷16 A.

•The functional test may only be performed after the DUT has

successfully passed the safety test.

•Dangerous voltage or mains voltage may be present on Test

Socket 1during some tests.

•Devices under test which are connected to Test Socket 1of the

REVEXmax can be powered by mains voltage during some tests.

The appliance can thus be activated.

•The PE terminal is connected to the PE terminal of Test Socket

1. When using the REVEXmax, do not connect any voltage to

the terminal PE. If connected, there is a danger of electric shock

or damage to the REVEXmax.

•Use only standard or optional accessories supplied with the

REVEXmax by your distributor.

The ﬁgures in this manual are only illustrative and may vary slightly

from the actual state or the version on your instrument.

1.2 Performance REVEXmax

The REVEXmax S (STANDARD) / REVEXmax W (WELD) is a professional,

compact, portable analyzer, designed to verify the electrical safety of appliances or

arc welding equipments (WELD variant only). The REVEXmax has an extraordi-

nary wide scope of use thanks to a lot of optional accessories, which enable testing

practically any portable or hard-wired, one-phase or three-phase appliance.

2 Description of the instrument

2.1 General description

The REVEXmax S (STANDARD) / REVEXmax W (WELD) instrument is de-

signed to verify the safety of electrical appliances in general. All AC measurements

are measured by the method TRMS (true rms), and for some measurements the

DC component value can be displayed. Measured circuits meet the requirements

of EN 61557 and EN 60974-4 (requirements for measuring circuits), including the

required input characteristics.

The REVEXmax performs the following tests:

•Earth bond test >1 A AC

•Insulation resistance test 500 V DC and 250 V DC

•Alternative (substitute) leakage current

•PE current during operation and touch leakage current

•Diﬀerential leakage current and touch leakage current

•Apparent power

•Mains voltage

•Current consumption

•Welding equipments output voltage and leakage current (WELD variant only)

•External voltage (WELD variant only)

With additional equipment can be measured:

•measurement of PE current during operation of three-phase portable appliance

by means of optional adapters

•measurement of diﬀerential leakage current of three-phase portable appliance

by means of optional adapters

•measurement of PE current during operation by means of current clamp

•measurement of diﬀerential leakage current by means of current clamp

•measurement of current consumption by means of current clamp

•measurement of apparent power by means of current clamp

The REVEXmax has furthermore additional features, which improve the safety of

both the operator and the DUT. These include:

•check for dangerous contact voltage on the PE of power outlet (before the

start of the measurement)

•check if the PE of the power outlet is grounded (before the start of the mea-

surement)

•automatic check for leakage current amplitude of the device under test

•check of the appliance’s current with automatic switch oﬀ the Test Socket 1:
