1 Applications
The SI (Storage Interface) module SECUTESTSI is a special accessory for
the the following test instruments:
SECUTEST..., PROFITEST 204 und METRISO 5000 D-PI
It is installed in the lid of the tester and fastened with two knurled screws.
The test results determined with the test instrument are directly trans-
ferred to the SI module via the ribbon line.
1.1 Application SECUTEST...
All measured values for approximately 300 reports (amount of one work-
ing day) can be stored in this memory.
Via a serial RS232 port, the stored measured values can be transferred
from the SECUTESTSI to the PC, archived and processed there with the
special software packages PC.doc-WORD/EXCEL, PC.doc-ACCESS or
PS3 (e.g. for the preparation of invoices), or printed directly into a pre-
made form. Transmission of the data to the PC is only possible when the
SI module is connected to the test instrument.
1.2 Application PROFITEST 204 and METRISO 5000 D-PI
Operation with these test instruments is limited to the function „Entry of
comments via the alphanumeric keyboard.“ Only the following chapters
are relevant in this context:
chap. 2 Safety Features and Safety Precautions
chap. 3.1 Installing the SI Module
chap. 10 Technical Data (without memory function)
chap. 11, 12 and 13 Maintenance and Addresses
1.3 Meaning of the Symbols on the Unit
Warnung concerning a point of danger
(Attention: observe documentation!)

mation regarding the WEEE mark can be accessed on the Internet

2 Safety Features and Safety Precautions
When the SECUTESTSI is properly used, the safety of both the user and
the unit is assured.
In order to meet the legal regulations for electromagnetic compatibility
(EMC), an electrically conductive plastic material is used for the housing
for shielding. Touching of the SI module under normal operation causes
no danger as contact-hazardous voltages do not occur in the
SECUTESTSI.
Attention!
The housing of the SI module has electrically conductive char-
acteristics that are similar to those of metal. It must not come
into connection with live parts.
Read the operating instructions carefully and completely before you use your unit
and follow them in all respects.
Data Backup (only instruments of the SECUTEST... series)
The measurement, report and entry data can be safely stored in the
RAM of the SECUTESTSI storage module.
We advise you to regularly transmit your stored data to a PC in order to
prevent potential loss of data in the storage module.
We assume no liability for any data loss.
For data processing and management we recommend the following PC
software programs:
–PS3 (transmission of measurement data to a PC, documentation,
management, report generation and monitoring of deadlines)
–PC.doc-WORD/EXCEL (report and list generation in MS WORD or MS
EXCEL)
–PC.doc-ACCESS (test data management in MS ACCESS)

3 Getting Started
3.1 Installing the SI Module
SECUTEST... only: Remove the cover from the lid of the SECUTEST.... For
this purpose, press the cover to the side.
Insert the SI module into the lid and fasten it with the two knurled re-
taining screws.
Connect the module to the connection socket of the RS232 interface
of the test instrument via the ribbon cable.
SECUTEST... only: Below the SI module there is a compartment provided
in the lid for the storage of the probe lead. Lock the flap inserted in the
module on the hinge of the lid so that the probe lead will not fall out
when the lid is closed.
3.2 Activating the SI Module
To activate the SI module, a connection to the RS232 interface of the
SECUTEST... must be established and the test instrument must be con-
nected to the mains.
Attention!
As long as the signal lamp lights up at the SI module, a syn-
chronization between the test instrument and the SI module is
being performed during which no test data may be imported
from the SI module. Do not press any key at the test instru-
ment.
Initial Start-up – Clear memory
For initial start-up, the memory should be completely cleared by means
of a reset:
Activate the menu function by pressing .
Select the Setup menu and then the menu Clear memory.
Press + simultaneously.
Reset date and time after initialization.

Request menu
Press 1x
Selection and execution of the functions listed
in the menu is done by means of the corre-
sponding keys on the test instrument.
The other operating controls and connectors
should remain unchanged while the SI module
is active so that the data traffic will not be dis-
turbed.
The menu item "Return" causes a return to the LC display presented
prior to activating the SI module.
The display shows that 10 % of the storage capacity are already
occupied. When 99% of the memory are filled, the data should be trans-
mitted to a PC and stored there. Subsequently, the existing data must be
deleted before new data can be stored to memory. Otherwise, the mes-
sages „Memory full“ and „Clear memory in setup“ appear.
4 Presettings
Upon selection of the menu item „Setup“
you can perform the following settings:
4.1 Setting the Clock
Note:
Please ensure that the same date and time are
set in the connected test instrument.

4.2 Enter and Delete Top and Bottom Lines
From the keyboard, you can enter optional texts which – before and/or
after the test result – are to be automatically included in the report print-
out. For top and bottom lines, 5 lines of 24 characters each are available.
The top and bottom lines are the same for all test results in the memory.
Enter the texts via the keyboard.
Data entry is also possible via barcode reader (see chapter 7, page 19).
You will get to the next line by pressing the key
You can delete the top and bottom lines with the and keys
4.3 Clear Memory
To clear the memory, press the key
on the SI module.
To stop, press the key on the SECUTEST....
Note

With the „Clear memory“ function, text information that has
been entered consisting of headline and bottom line, device
type, manufacturer, prototype as well as details on customer,
repair work and statistics are preserved. These data can only
be deleted by performing a reset ( + ).
