4GMC-I Messtechnik GmbH
1 Safety Precautions
SECUTEST BASE(10), SECUTEST PRO and
SECULIFE ST BASE(25) test instruments are
manufactured and tested in accordance with
the following safety regulations:
IEC/EN 61010-1 / VDE 0411-1, DIN VDE
0404, IEC/EN 61577 / VDE 0413-2,-4 / DIN
EN 61557-16 / VDE 0413-16 (draft standard)
The safety of the user, the test instrument
and the device under test (electrical equip-
ment or electrical medical device) is only
assured when the instrument is used for its
intended purpose.
Read these condensed operating instructions and
the full operating instructions carefully and com-
pletely before placing your test instrument into
service (available at our homepage www.gossen-
metrawatt.com for download). Follow all instruc-
tions contained therein. Make sure that the oper-
ating instructions are available to all users of the
instrument.
Tests may only be performed by a qualified elec-
trician, or under the supervision and direction of a
qualified electrician. The user must be instructed
by a qualified electrician concerning performance
and evaluation of the test.
Note!
Manufacturers and importers of electrical
medical devices must provide documen-
tation for the performance of mainte-
nance by trained personnel.
Observe the following safety precautions:
• The instrument may only be connected to
electrical systems (TN, TT or IT) with a
maximum of 240 V which complies with
applicable safety regulations (e.g. IEC
60346, VDE 0100) and is protected with a
fuse or circuit breaker with a maximum rat-
ing of 16 A.
• Measurements within electrical systems
are prohibited.
• Be prepared for the occurrence of unex-
pected voltages at devices under test (for
example, capacitors can be dangerously
charged).
• Make certain that the measurement
cables are in flawless condition, e.g. no
damage to insulation, no cracks in
cables or plugs etc.
• When using a test probe with coil cord
(SK2W):
Grip the tip of the test probe firmly, for
example during insertion into a jack
socket. Tensioning at the coil cord may
otherwise cause the test probe to snap
back resulting in possible injury.
•Measurement of insulation resistance and
equivalent leakage current (leakage current
alternative measuring methods)
Testing is conducted with up to 500 V.
Current limiting is utilized (I < 3.5 mA),
but if terminals L or N at the test socket
are touched, electrical shock may occur
which could result in consequential acci-
dents.
•Leakage current measurement during opera-
tion with line voltage: Please note that the
device under test is operated with line
voltage during measurement. Exposed
conductive parts may conduct danger-
ous touch voltage during testing. Do not
touch under any circumstances! (Mains
power is disconnected if leakage current
exceeds approx. 10 mA.)
Attention!
!
The function test may only be per-
formed after the DUT has successfully
passed the safety test!
Fuse replacement
The fuses may only be replaced when the
instrument is voltage-free, i.e. the instrument
must be disconnected from mains supply
power and may not be connected to a mea-
suring circuit. The fuse type must comply
with the specifications in the technical data
or the labeling on the instrument.

socket.
* for currents > 16 A AC please use adapter
AT3-IIS32 (Z745X), for example
The test instrument may not be used:
• If external damage is apparent, for example
if parts which conduct dangerous touch
voltage are freely accessible, if the display
is broken or defective (in which case dan-
gerous voltage or mains connection errors
might no longer be indicated)
• If the seal or sealing lacquer has been
removed as the result of repairs or manipu-
lation carried out by a non-authorized/non-
certified service provider.
• With damaged connection and/or mea-
surement cables and patient ports, e.g.
interrupted insulation or kinked cable
• If the instrument no longer functions flawlessly
• After serious damage due to transport
In such cases, the instrument must be removed from
operation and secured against unintentional use.

2.1 Mains Connection
Nominal mains values: 100 to 240 V, 50 Hz to 400 Hz
➭Connect the test instrument to the mains
cable via its inlet plug and insert the
mains plug into an electrical outlet. The
function selector switch can be set to
any position. If a mains outlet (earthing
contact outlet) is not available, or if only a
3-phase outlet is available, the adapter
socket can be used to connect the
phase conductor, the neutral conductor
and the protective conductor. The
adapter socket has three permanently
attached cables and is included with the
KS13 cable set (see wiring diagram in
the operating instructions).
Attention!
!
If connection is not possible via an
earthing contact outlet: Shut down
mains power first. Then connect the
cables from the coupling socket to
the mains using pick-off clips in ac-
cordance with the diagram. Discon-
nection from mains power is only
possible with the mains plug.
Measurements in IT Systems (as from FW 1.5.0)
The setting IT system can be activated in
selector switch position SETUP (Setup 1/3)

measurements which include the PE at the
mains connection end) are blocked. Test
sequences which contain such kind of mea-
surements are disabled as well.
2.2 Detection of Mains Connection Errors
The device automatically recognizes mains
connection errors if the conditions in the fol-
lowing table have been fulfilled. The user is
informed of the type of error, and all measuring
functions are disabled in the event of danger.

5 Internal Database
5.1 Creation of Test Structures
A complete test structure with data regard-
ing customers and devices under test be
created in the test instrument. This structure
makes it possible to assign single measure-
ments or test sequences to test objects
belonging to various customers. Manual sin-
gle measurements can be grouped together
into a so-called “manual sequence”.
A complete description of database creation is
included in the full operating instructions for
your test instrument.
5.2 Export – Transmission and Storage of
Test Structures and Measurement Data
Structures set up in, and measurement data
saved to the test instrument can be imported
to the IZYTRONIQ report generating software
via a plugged-in USB stick (PRO and/or Fea-
ture KB01 only) or via the USB slave port.
Data can then be saved to the PC and
reports can be generated.
Note!
Data transfer to IZYTRONIQ should not
be started during single measure-
ments or test sequences.
Furthermore, you can save the database to
a plugged-in USB stick for subsequent
restoring to the device memory.
5.3 Import (PRO and/or Feature KB01 only)

SECUTEST BASE(10)/PRO & SECULIFE ST BASE(25) Database – Keyboard

10 GMC-I Messtechnik GmbH
7 Notes on Saving Single Measurements and Test Sequences
At the end of each test, test results can be
saved under an ID number which is unequiv-
ocally assigned to the respective test object.
Depending on the initial situation, i.e.
whether or not a test structure or database
is already available or an ID has already been
entered, the following different procedures
are used for saving:
Variant 1 – pre-selection of an existing ID
You’ve already set up a test structure in the
test instrument
or loaded one from the
IZYTRONIQ .
Open the database view before starting the
measurement by pressing the MEM key.
Then select the test object or its ID within the
test structure by pressing the respective
scroll key. Exit the database view (MEM navi-
gation) by pressing MEM and start the mea-
surement. Press the Save as key at the
end of the measurement. The display is
switched to the SAVE view. The ID appears
with a green or orange background. Press
the Save key in order to complete the pro-
cedure.
Variant 2 – entry of an existing ID at the end of the
test
You’ve already set up a test structure in the
test instrument
or loaded one from the
IZYTRONIQ ( SECUTEST PRO only) . You perform the
measurement without first opening the data-
base. No test object was previously selected
in the database. Press the Save as key at
the end of the measurement. The following
message appears: “No DUT selected!”
Press the ID key. The softkey keyboard
appears.
If you enter an ID here which is already in the
database, the database view appears auto-
matically (MEM navigation) and the test
object’s ID is displayed inversely. Acknowl-
edge the entry by pressing the key. The
display is switched to the SAVE view. The ID
appears with a green or orange background.
Press the Save key once again in order to
complete the procedure.
Variant 3 – entry of a new ID at the end of the test
You haven’t yet set up a test structure in the
test instrument, or the ID is not included in
the existing structure.
Press the Save as key at the end of the
measurement. The following message
appears: “No DUT selected!” Press the ID
key in order to enter the test object’s ID. The
softkey keyboard appears.
If you enter an ID here which is not yet
included in the database, a prompt appears
asking you if you want to enter a new object.
– :If you press , the display is switched
to the SAYVE view. The ID appears with a
green background. Press the key once
again in order to complete the procedure.
– :If you press , the database view
appears (MEM navigation). Go to the next
page (Process objects 2/3) by pressing ,
and then enter a new test object. Press
to this end. All possible object types
are displayed. Press “DUT”. The newly
entered ID appears in red to the right of
the ID parameter. Acknowledge the entry
by pressing the key. The display is
switched to the database view (MEM navi-
gation). The newly entered test object is
displayed inversely in the structure. Press
MEM in order to return to the SAVE view.
The ID appears with a green or orange
background. Press the key once again
in order to complete the procedure.
–ESC: If you don’t want to save any mea-
sured values, press ESC twice in order to
go to the measuring view. If you press ESC
again, a prompt appears asking whether
or not you want to delete the measuring
points in order to continue with the mea-
surement without saving.

8 Single Measurements
Any measuring duration is possible. The
respective measurement is ended by press-
ing START/STOP. No limit values have been
entered for single measurements. As a
result, no evaluation of the measurement
results takes place.
Procedure for measuring with save function and
pre-selection of the (ME) device
If you’d like to save your single measure-
ments to selected (ME) devices in a data-
base (see section 5), the following procedure
is advisable.
1 Activate the database view (MEM
navigation) by pressing the MEM
key.
2 Select the (ME) device or its ID num-
ber for the following measurements
with the scroll keys.
3 Return to the measuring view by
pressing the MEM key or the
START/STOP key.
4 Start the test with the START/STOP
key.
The measured value recording
symbol shown at the right
appears. Each time this key is
pressed, the currently displayed
value is saved to the clipboard
and the number shown in the symbol is
increased by one.
5 End the test with the START/STOP
key.
The Save as symbol appears
(floppy disk icon with the number
of measured values saved to the
clipboard).
6 If you press the save symbol now,
the display is switched to the SAVE
view, where the pre-selected (ME)
device is highlighted.
7 After pressing the Save symbol
once again, acknowledgement of
successful storage appears. At the
same time, the display returns to the
measuring view.
Procedure for measuring with save function and
subsequent entry of the (ME) device
As an alternative to the procedure described
above, you can start with step 4 and, after
measurement has been completed, assign
the results to a (ME) device or its ID number
which is included in the database: manually
by selecting ID and entering the ID via the
alphanumeric keyboard, or by scanning a
barcode.
