FIELD OF APPLICATION AND USAGE
This instruction for use, specially its safety information, is to be read and to be
observed by everyone before working with the ARCUSPHASE DSP (Digital
Signal Processor)!
Keep this instruction for use to have information available when required.
In case you will hand over the ARCUSPHASE DSP to another person, include
the instruction for use!
ARCUSPHASE DSP is design for inspection of encapsulated switchgear up to
52 kV rated voltage and 50 Hz nominal frequency.
For usage observe EN 50110-1 or standardised safety rules of your country and
internal operational instructions!

Safety information GA240GB-09.19
Required qualification of operating personnel
Operation and maintenance of this ARCUSPHASE DSP is to be carried out
only by electricians or specially trained personnel following EN 50110-1 or the
standardised safety rules of the respective country. Further it needs to be
secured that before start of work the operating personnel was trained for this
operation.

Prevention of dangers
Only use ARCUSPHASE DSP for inspection of encapsulated switch-
gear up to 52 kV rated voltage and 50 Hz nominal frequency!
Make sure that your ARCUSPHASE DSP is congured for the correct
operating and nominal voltage!
Standard supply of ARCUSPHASE DSP includes a measuring line for
coupling parts according to IEC 61243-5 with LR-system. With suitable
interface adaptors, ARCUSPHASE DSP can be used on other coupling
parts to IEC 61243-5 (Spare parts and accessories →page 47)!

GA240GB-09.19 Safety information
Prevention of dangers (continued)
Measurement with a wrong interface adaptor on the connections can
damage the ARCUSPHASE DSP and may lead to personal injuries!
For examination of encapsulated switchgear trained personnel
is required!
Directly before each use the ARCUSPHASE DSP is to be examined for
faultless function. The built-in self-test device is destined for this
purpose (→page 19-26)!
Absence of voltage at the working place always is to be veried on
all phases!
Use of the ARCUSPHASE DSP does not relieve from observance of
EN 50110-1 requirements regarding necessary steps to produce
and secure a de-energised condition during work on electric
installations!
In case of very bright environment, secure clearness of OLED-display
(e.g. by giving shadow by hand).
Only use spare parts manufactured by Arcus Schiffmann
(→ page 47)!
Maintain the ARCUSPHASE DSP well!
Carry out regular periodic testing! The last date of periodic testing of
your ARCUSPHASE DSP can be found on the label (→page 7).
The next date for periodic testing can be found under Main Menu ->
Instrument information.
Relevant regulations of the professional association are to be
observed!

The following test and measurement options are integrated:
• Self-test (→page 19-26)
• Periodic testing of coupling parts (→page 27-31)
• Voltage test (→page 27-31)
• Frequency measurement (→page 31-33)
• Oscilloscope (→page 33-35)
• FFT (→page 35-36)
ARCUSPHASE DSP is a 1-polar voltage detector according to IEC 61243-5,
with visual indication.
UNPACKING AND EXAMINATION
The ARCUSPHASE DSP is packed to be protected against normal impact and
damage during transport.
Unpack and examine the ARCUSPHASE DSP as follows:
• Unpack the ARCUSPHASE DSP and make sure you have received
all parts listed on the packing list.
• Examine the ARCUSPHASE DSP for damages from transportation.
In case packing is damaged and you have to expect damage or loss of
supplied parts, this is to be noted on the delivery documents, otherwise
insurance will not pay ! If shipment is packed orderly and parts are
damaged or missing, please contact ARCUS Schiffmann.
Recommendation !
Stock all packing material to be available in case the
ARCUSPHASE DSP needs to be returned to ARCUS Schiffmann.
