Recommendations for electrical testing
intruments
Preventive measures for high voltage
As the voltage of the test can reach 5 kV, a risk of electric shock has to be taken into account.
ATEQ recommends the following for the operators protection :
• the use of a bi-manual remote • the clear delimitation of the safety

contrôle with a coincidence relay, zone (floor marking, warning
light…) around the test area or the
use of a protection bell over the test
part.
Precautions on the test environnement

• Let the test area dry and clean, free from explosive gaz.
Precautions on the operators

• ATEQ recommends that the operators using the instruments should have a suitable
qualification and training with respect to the work bench requirements.
General precautions
• Read the users manual before using • the electrical main supply must
the instrument, absolutely have proper earthing,
• all electrical connections coming to • disconnect the electrical
the instrument must be equipped connections to the equipment for
with a safety system (fuse, cicruit maintenance,
breaker…) adapted to the needs and
• do not open the instrument under
adhering to the norms,
power voltage,
• to avoid electromagnetic • avoid water spillage in the direction
interferences, the cable connections of the instrument,
to the instrument should be less
than two meters in lenght, • ATEQ is at your disposal for any
further information concerning the
use of the instrument under
maximum safety conditions.
We would like to bring to your attention that ATEQ will not be held responsible
for any accident connected to the improper use of the instrument, to the work
bench or to the lack of compliance with safety rules.
ATEQ Company is free from any responsibility for any adjustment of its
instrument which would not have been done by its own technicians.

• a car fleet for rapid intervention,
• a commitment to quality ...
ATEQ IS COMMITTED TO REPAIRING INSTRUMENTS

WITHIN 48 HOURS IN ITS OFFICES
(24 HOURS ON DEMAND)
! THE OVERHAUL
ATEQ carries out the overhaul of your instruments at interesting prices.
The overhaul corresponds to the maintenance of the instrument (checking, cleaning, replacing of used parts) as part
of preventive maintenance.
Preventive maintenance is the best way to guarantee reliability and efficiency. It allows the maintenance of a group of
instruments in good operational order and prevent eventual break-downs.
! MAINTENANCE KITS
The ATEQ After Sales Service proposes, two kits destined for the preventive maintenance of the pneumatic circuits of
instruments.
! CALIBRATION
This may be carried out on site or in our offices.
ATEQ is attached to the COFRAC and delivers a certificate following a calibration.
! TRAINING COURSES
In the framework of partnership with our customers, ATEQ offers two types of training in order to optimise the usage
and knowledge of our instruments. They are aimed at different levels of technician:
• method / control training,
• maintenance / upkeep training.
! A TARGETED TECHNICAL DOCUMENTATION

A number of technical documents are at your disposal to allow you to intervene rapidly in the event minor breakdowns:
• problem sheets describing and offering solutions to the main pneumatic and electronic problems,
• several maintenance manuals.
! A QUALITY GUARANTEE
The instruments are guaranteed for parts and labour in our offices:
• 2 years for leak detection equipment,
• 1 year for electrical tests to norms instruments,
• 1 year for the accessories.
Our After Sales Service is capable of rapidly answering all your needs and queries.

Note : pulse duration at End of Cycle signal is 500 ms.

4. ELECTRICAL SUPPLY
The electrical supply is done by the 3-pin connector located below the equipment. The
equipment can be supplied with a voltage between 90 and 260 V

Blue wire = Neutral
Brown wire = Phase
Green/yellow wire =
90 - 260 V AC earth

A main wire is supplied with the equipment.

5. INPUT/OUTPUT TIMING CHART
In order to interface the ATEQ EP2P with the equipment (PLC, PC …), the following timing
chart shows the sequencing of the electrical outputs (relay board on Connector J15) in
accordance with the input/output commands on front panel or on the Connector J18 (START,
RESET and sequence number selection).
The timing proposed depends directly on the rotary switch position; this allows selection of
the 2 end of cycles: automatic RESET or STOP.

current on the left display. It is also possible to display this correction resistance by
pressing key F.

13. STARTING THE EARTH CONTINUITY (OR GROUND) MODE
This function allows selection of the type of start given to the equipment for the earth
continuity test (ref. chapter 2 : inside panel of door, the earth continuity connector) :
• pulsed : the start is given by the probe,
• state (crocodile clip) : start is operated by the START or by remote control.
If this mode is inactive, the default mode of the equipment is pulsed mode.

14. CORRECTION OF THE POWER / CURRENT TEST MODE
This mode allows correction of the test results of the power or current test ( see AMP
function) in relation to a programmed voltage in case the measured voltage differs from
the programmed voltage.
The formula used is as follows :

2
 Unom 
Pcor = Pmes ×  
 Umes 
Pcor : corrected power
Pmeas : power tested
Unom : nominal voltage
Umeas : voltage tested

In CYCLE mode, if the function is active, the letter C appears at the left of the test pressure on
F
the left display. Moreover it is possible to see the correction resistance on pressing .

15. PEAK VALUE MODE
This mode gives the peak value for power or current measured during the test time.
F Pic
Press on the key till you get the mode on the right display.
To activate or deactivate this mode press on the , a point (.) will indicate that the selected
mode is active.
16. AMPERE MODE
This mode allows selection of current measurement instead of power measurement.
F Amp
Press on till you get the mode on the right display.
To activate or deactivate this mode press on the , a point (.) will indicate that the
selected mode is active.

17. PHASE SHIFT ANGLE MODE
This mode allows checking of the value of the phase shift angle as well as measurement of
current/power. In the cycle the phase shift angle does not display if it is bad & if the result for the
value of the power/current is good.

R E F . : 323.00 N°A
The save module secures the software and the parameters of ATEQ.
The save module connects to the RS 232 output. It also allows :

- programming of the equipment immediately with the parameters of the work unit
(loss of parameters, change of equipment),
- programming of other machines of the same series with identical paramters.
The module does not save the configuration of the equipment.
Refer to the program manual.

MESSAGES DISPLAYED
At the end of test, the result is displayed on the front panel of the equipment.
1. RESULT INDICATOR
• green indicator PASS :

the test result is good and is between the maximum and minimum cut off which were
programmed.
+%- • red indicator :

the test conditions were not respected: the test is abandoned.
•red indicator :
1. the test result is above the max cut off of reject level and the test is bad – Fail.
2. the test result is below the min cut off of reject level and the test is bad – Fail.
Note : the Fail indications are combined on the same output on the on/off output J15 on 3 and 4.
2. PRINTING THE RESULTS
A serial interface port RS 232 is available (J19 connector) for the connection of a printer or a P. C.
At the end of the test the results are transmitted on the serial line. It is possible to separate the results by
adding the line feed (L.F. see Chapter 4, Frame Function).
