2 Applications
Please read this important information!
2.1 Intended Use / Use for Intended Purpose
The PROFITEST H+E EXPERT CHECK is a tester for checking AC charging points
in accordance with DIN EN/IEC 61851-1 (VDE 0122-1). The tester can be used to
check the performance of AC charging points. In combination with measuring/test
instruments from the PROFITEST MF or PROFITEST MASTER IQ series, the effec-
tiveness of protective measures can be tested at AC charging points.
The tester is intended exclusively for function tests conducted on AC charging
points in charging mode 3. The tester can be connected to AC charging points with
type 2 inlet or permanently attached type 2 cable (extended CP test pin for perma-
nently attached cables).
Safety of the operator, as well as that of the tester, is only assured when it’s used
for its intended purpose.
2.2 Use for Other than Intended Purpose
Use of the tester for any purposes other than those described in these operating
instructions is contrary to use for intended purpose.
In particular, the tester is not suitable for use as an adapter for vehicle simulation 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 Tester / Repairs
The tester 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 tester is prohibited.
If it can be ascertained that the tester has been opened by unauthorized personnel,
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 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
vehicle.
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

6.1 Functions Description
Qualified electricians can use the device to test AC charging points for correct func-
tioning. In addition to cable and vehicle simulation, faults can also be simulated and
communication can be evaluated to this end.
Beyond this, AC charging points can be electrically tested by combining the tester
with a measuring/test instrument from the PROFITEST MF or PROFITEST MASTER
IQ series for the purpose of initial testing in accordance with DIN VDE 0100-600
and for periodic testing during operation in accordance with DIN VDE 0105-100.
6.2 Device Characteristics
• The tester can only be used to test AC charging points in charging mode 3.
• Vehicle simulation (CP): the tester 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.
• Cable simulation (PP): the tester uses an automatic program sequence to check
values for a 13, 20, 32 or 63 A cable. Testing for the absence of a connected
cable is also possible (N.C.).
• Communication (PWM signal) can be evaluated.
• Fault simulation: the tester can be used to perform diode testing, as well as to
check for CP-PE short-circuits (fault E) and PE faults (ground faults).
• In combination with instruments from the PROFITEST MF or PROFITEST MAS-
TER IQ series, protective devices at AC charging points can be tested:
– Continuity of the conductors (low-resistance measurement)
– Insulation resistance
– Testing of residual current circuit breakers (RCD/R)
– Sensor testing, 6 mA RDC-DD/RCMB
– Fault loop impedance (loop resistance), internal system resistance
