2 Applications
Please read this important information!
2.1 Intended Use / Use for Intended Purpose
The PROFITEST H+E EASY CHECK is a function tester for testing AC charging
points in accordance with DIN EN / IEC 61851-1 (VDE 0122-1) and permits auto-
matic testing of functional performance by laypersons. In the event of a confirmed
malfunction of the AC charging point, qualified personnel must become involved.
The instrument is intended exclusively for function tests conducted on AC charging
points in charging mode 3.
The instrument can be connected to AC charging points with type 2 inlet or perma-
nently attached type 2 cable.
Safety of the operator, as well as that of the instrument, is only assured when it’s
used for its intended purpose.
2.2 Use for Other than Intended Purpose
Use of the instrument for any purposes other than those described in these operat-
ing instructions is contrary to use for intended purpose.
In particular, the instrument is not suitable for use as an adapter for vehicle simula-
tion in accordance with VDE 0122-1 (DIN EN 61851-1) for the performance of
required, standards-compliant testing of charging infrastructures for electric road
vehicles and the associated part of the electrical system.
2.3 Liability and Guarantee
Gossen Metrawatt GmbH assumes no liability for property damage, personal injury
or consequential damage resulting from improper or incorrect use of the product, in
particular due to failure to observe the product documentation. Furthermore, all
guarantee claims are rendered null and void in such cases.
Nor does Gossen Metrawatt GmbH accept any liability for data loss.
2.4 Opening the Instrument / Repairs
The instrument may only be opened by authorized, trained personnel in order to
ensure flawless, safe operation and to assure that the guarantee isn’t rendered null
and void. Even original replacement parts may only be installed by authorized,
trained personnel.
Unauthorized modification of the meter is prohibited.
If it can be ascertained that the instrument has been opened by unauthorized per-
sonnel, no guarantee claims can be honored by the manufacturer with regard to
personal safety, measuring accuracy, compliance with applicable safety measures
or any consequential damages.

5 Background Knowledge Concerning Electromobility
5.1 Charging Point / Wallbox
Electric vehicles are charged with alternating current (AC) at AC charging points in
charging mode 3 with type 2 plug. Since electric vehicle batteries can only store
direct current (DC), the alternating current is converted to direct current by the elec-
tric vehicle’s on-board charger.
AC charging points are available for single-phase or three-phase connection. In the
case of single-phase connection, currents of up to max. 20 A are permissible.
Three-phase connections are designed for currents of up to 32 A.
Electric vehicles are charged with direct current at so-called fast charging points.
5.2 Charging Cables
The Mode 3 charging cable establishes a connection between the electric vehicle
and the AC charging point. There are 3 different ways to establish a connection
between the electric vehicle and the AC charging point:
• The charging cable is permanently attached to the vehicle. The charging cable
is plugged into the type 2 charging socket at the AC charging point.
• The charging cable is portable. The type 2 plug is plugged into the vehicle’s
charging socket, and the type 2 coupler is plugged into the charging socket at
the AC charging point.
• The charging cable is permanently attached to the AC charging point. The type
2 plug of the AC charging point is plugged into the charging socket of the elec-
tric vehicle.
5.3 Plugs
Type 2 plugs are used to transmit power to and communicate with the electric vehi-
cle.
The plug controls the following functions:
– Verification that an electric vehicle is connected
– Monitoring of protective conductor continuity
– Switching the system on
– Switching the system off
– Charging current selection
– Charging current settings
– Locking/unlocking the connectors
– Enabling power

6 The Instrument
6.1 Functions Description
The instrument presents laypersons with the possibility of safely checking the func-
tionality of AC charging points without the need for the direct involvement of quali-
fied personnel.
Qualified personnel only need to be summoned for further action (e.g. repair) in the
event that a malfunction has actually been confirmed.
6.2 Device Characteristics
• The instrument can only be used to test AC charging points in charging mode 3.
• The instrument simulates the charging socket of the electric vehicle. It can be
connected to the charging socket or the type 2 plug of an AC charging point.
• During the automatic program sequence, the instrument checks values for 20
and 32 A cables.
6.3 Scope of Delivery
