3. PUTTING INTO OPERATION
3.1. Connecting to mains outlet
Use grounded mains outlet only to supply the instrument!
If mains outlet, mains cable, instrument’s case or accessories are damaged, do
not connect the REVEXplus to mains outlet!
The REVEXplus can be powered only from 230 V / 50 ÷ 60 Hz grounded mains, which is
protected with a fuse or circuit breaker with a maximum rating of 16 A.
The instrument is automatically switched on after plugging in to the mains outlet.
Disconnect any equipment under test while connecting/disconnecting the REVEXplus to/from
the mains outlet!
The REVEXplus automatically tests protective PE (ground) pin of mains outlet:
1) If PE connection is inadequate, then the (PROTECT) indicator lights up after the
REVEXplus is plugged in to mains outlet.
2) If dangerous contact voltage arises on PE, then the (PROTECT) indicator lights
up when operator's finger touches the key  START  .
If operator presses the  START  key for all that, the measurement will not start and
message „Prot“ appears on the display.
If test result of ground pin of mains outlet is unsatisfactory, the wrong outlet
must be repaired before you plug in the REVEXplus to mentioned outlet again!
3.2. Functionality test
It can be sometimes difficult to identify that the measuring instrument does not work properly,
especially during leakage current measurement. The REVEXplus has therefore built in the
possibility to promptly test the basic functionality.
Functionality of following functions can be tested:
•Insulation resistance.
•Measurement of substitute leakage current.
•Measurement of differential leakage current (only one L-N polarity).
•Measurement of PE current during operation. (only one L-N polarity).
Disconnect equipment under test before the REVEXplus functionality test!
Functionality test procedure:
•Disconnect equipment under test.
•Use respective key to select the function you are going to test.
•Press the CALkey and release it. The (CAL) indicator lights up.
•Press the STARTkey and release it. The test starts. After it is finished, the result is
displayed and the (CAL) indicator turns off.

User’s Manual REVEXplus, REVEXplus USB
Copyright © 2006–2019 ILLKO, s.r.o.
12
•If you test IPE or Ifunctions and displayed value is close to 0.000 mA, you must repeat
the test once more after switching the L-N polarity by repetitive press and release of
either the IPEor Ikey. The (INV) indicator lights up in such case.
If the value 2.000 M÷ 2.600 Mis displayed, the insulation resistance measurement is
correct.
If the value 0.090 mA ÷ 0.110 mA is displayed, the leakage current measurement is correct.
Contact service if the test results differ from the ones described above.

•Locking of measurement –press the STARTkey and then press the LOCKkey.
Release both keys. Measurement is in progress and current measured values are
displayed until the STARTkey is again pressed and released.
Measuring process is indicated by (START) indicator.
4.1.2. HOLD function
When measurement is in progress then current measured values are displayed. By press and
release of the HOLDkey the last measured result is displayed on display even if
measurement either ended or continues. The HOLD function is indicated by such way that
blinking of the (START) indicator changes to unremitting light.
HOLD function can be cancelled (measurement is still in progress) by press and release of the
HOLDkey. The (START) indicator then blinks again.
4.2. Earth bond 200 mA - RPE
•Make sure that tested equipment is deenergized –its mains voltage must be
disconnected before starting the measurement!
•Do not connect any external voltage between RPE terminal 3 and either PE in
test socket 1 or PE terminal 4.
•If you are going to test equipment which can be charged to voltage > 25V (e.g.
filter capacitors), discharge it before test!
•In case that external voltage is present on appliance under test, the
(PROTECT) indicator turns on and „Prot“ message is displayed. Such status
is dangerous fault condition; disconnect equipment under test from the
REVEXplus immediately to avoid its damage!
4.2.1. Test lead resistance compensation
Compensation means that the test lead resistance is measured and then automatically
memorized and subtracted from all RPE measurements. The real earth bond resistance
is thus displayed. The compensation constant remains in instrument’s memory even if
the instrument is switched off. And so the lead compensation is valid until new
compensation is carried out.

finished.
The compensation is effective for test lead resistance < 2 .
If test lead resistance is ≥ 2 and compensation procedure is carried out, compensation is
cancelled and all following displayed results are a sum of earth bond + test lead resistance.
If compensation is active (it means that test lead resistance < 2 was memorized) then the
(CAL) indicator lights up during RPE measurements.

Step 2 - measurement
•Press test tip against exposed conductive part of tested appliance.
•Press the STARTkey; measurement starts to run (see chapter 4.1. for measurement
control details). Measurement is indicated by the (START) indicator. If the (CAL)
indicator lights on during measurement, it means that test lead resistance is
compensated (see chapter 4.2.1. for details).
•After finishing of measurement (the (START) indicator turns off) the lowest measured
value of earth bond resistance is displayed. If only „1“ is displayed (see chapter 5.1 for
details) it means that measured earth bond resistance is higher than maximal value
which can be measured by the REVEXplus.
4.3. Insulation resistance - RISO
•Make sure tested appliance is deenergized –its mains voltage must be
disconnected before starting of measurement!
•Do not touch exposed conductive parts of tested appliance while measurement
is in progress –RISK OF ELECTRC SHOCK! Measurement in progress is
indicated by the (START) indicator.
•Do not disconnect test leads while measurement is in progress or immediately
after finishing the measurement. Capacitive component of tested appliance can
be charged to voltage up to 750 V; after the key STARTis released, this
voltage is automatically discharged! If the capacitive component would be so
extraordinary high that the discharging circuitry in the REVEXplus would not
be able to discharge it to voltage < 50 V, the message „Prot“ would be
displayed. Tested appliance must be disconnected from the instrument in this
case and its capacitance must be discharged by another alternative safe
method.
In case that external voltage is present on tested appliance, measurement will not be
carried out. Indicator (PROTECT) turns on and message „Prot“ is displayed.

-One-phase appliance with movable power supply cord –plug in its mains plug
to test socket 1.
-Three-phase appliance with movable power supply cord –connect PE pin of its
plug to the instrument’s PE terminal by means of optional test lead P2012 +
crocodile clip P4012. Then connect remaining current-carrying conductors by
means of test lead P2011 + test tip P3011 to the instrument’s RISO + ISUB
terminal (placed on rear panel).
-Hard-wired appliance –firstly disconnect appliance from mains! Connect its
point of PE connection to the instrument’s PE terminal by means of optional
test lead P2012 + crocodile clip P4012. Then connect remaining current-
carrying conductors by means of test lead P2011 + test tip P3011 to the
instrument’s RISO + ISUB terminal (placed on rear panel).
Step 2 - measurement
•Switch on tested appliance’s mains switch.
•Press the STARTkey; measurement starts to run (see chapter 4.1. for measurement
control details). Measurement is indicated by the (START) indicator. It is
recommended to hold the STARTkey pressed 5-10 s (or even longer if displayed
result is not stabilized) - the influence of tested appliance’s internal capacitance can be
eliminated by this method.
•After finishing of measurement (the (START) indicator turns off) the last measured
value of insulation resistance is displayed. At the same time either indicator
(M) or (k) lights up and so the unit of measured insulation resistance is determined.
If only „1“ is displayed (see chapter 5.1 for details) it means that measured insulation
resistance is higher than maximal value which can be measured by the REVEXplus.
4.4. Substitute leakage current - ISUB
•Make sure tested appliance is deenergized –its mains voltage must be
disconnected before starting of measurement!
•Firstly earth bond resistance (chapter 4.2.) must be tested; it is recommended
to test insulation resistance, too (chapter 4.3.). Then you can execute
substitute leakage current measurement!
•Do not touch exposed conductive parts of tested appliance while measurement
is in progress –RISK OF ELECTRC SHOCK! Measurement in progress is
indicated by the (START) indicator.
Test voltage is max. 230 V / 50 ÷ 60 Hz, short circuit current is about 3.5 mA.

and indicators (ISUB)and (mA) light up.
•Connect tested appliance:
-One-phase appliance with movable power supply cord –plug in its mains plug
to test socket 1.
-Three-phase appliance with movable power supply cord –connect PE pin of its
plug to the instrument’s PE terminal by means of optional test lead P2012 +
crocodile clip P4012. Then connect remaining current-carrying conductors by
means of test lead P2011 + test tip P3011 to the instrument’s RISO + ISUB
terminal (placed on rear panel).
-Hard-wired appliance –firstly disconnect appliance from mains! Connect its
point of PE connection to the instrument’s PE terminal by means of optional
test lead P2012 + crocodile clip P4012. Then connect remaining current-
carrying conductors by means of test lead P2011 + test tip P3011 to the
instrument’s RISO + ISUB terminal (placed on rear panel).
Step 2 –measurement
•Switch on tested appliance’s mains switch.
•Press the STARTkey; measurement starts to run (see chapter 4.1. for measurement
control details). Measurement is indicated by the (START) indicator.
•After finishing of measurement (the (START) indicator turns off) the last measured
value of substitute leakage current is displayed.

WARNING - DANGER!
•If test voltage is present in Test socket 1 –it is indicated by the (START)
indicator, then tested equipment starts to run after its mains switch is
switched on! Take into consideration all safety warnings, referred to
equipment under test!
•Do not touch exposed conductive parts of tested object after mains switch is
switched on!
•Firstly earth bond resistance (chapter 4.2.) must be tested; it is recommended
to test insulation resistance if it is possible, too (chapter 4.3.). Then you can
execute leakage current measurement!
•Equipment under test must be isolated from ground (from the earth
potential) during measurement of IPE!
•Test Socket 1 of the REVEXplus must not be used for continuous power
supply of appliance! It is intended for test purposes only; max. test duration
is 60 s @ 16A.
The REVEXplus is equipped with electronic checking of excessive leakage current
during measurement. If leakage current exceeds limit value about 12 mA, then mains
voltage is disconnected from test socket 1. This status is indicated by displaying
„Prot“ message; the indicator (PROTECT) turns on, too.
