4. Selecting the Class/Type
The CLASS/TYPE selection sets the Type of EQUIPMENT that is being tested. This
affects the limits for the Protective Earth Resistance, Insulation Resistance L1, L2-
Case, Earth Leakage, and Enclosure Leakage Tests.
☛ Note: Class/Type is not used by custom standards, and hence, is not available.
The class/type should be set to the instrument's classification and type before testing.
The 601PRO defaults to the Class/Type setting for the most recently used test
standard.
The Class/Type option allows the operator to choose all valid class/type selections
for the present test standard. If the device under test has applied part leads, then they
should be entered via the view present settings key. The Class/Type option is
accessible from the MAIN MENU .
If the device to be tested conforms to IEC 601-1, its class/type can easily be
identified by symbols marked on the instrument.
In Manual mode, the Test Load used for measurements is set by the test standard
selection with the following exceptions:
⇒ The VDE Equivalent Device and VDE Equivalent Patient Leakage tests use
the IEC 601-1 Test Load exclusively.
⇒ The Accessible Voltage and Accessible Leakage tests use the IEC 1010 Test
Load exclusively. When a VDE or IEC 1010 test is selected, the Test Load is
switched to the test-specific load. When a test other than a VDE or IEC 1010
is selected, the Test Load specified by the current test standard (using the
Select Test Standard menu) is used.
