1.6.8 Information on the protective conductor resistance test

Observe the instructions in the "Safety Rules for Installation and Repair"
(ARTD-002.731.17 ...).
Additionally, country-specific regulations and norms must be observed.
The protective conductor resistance must be measured, documented, and evaluated dur-
ing maintenance.

08.09 CS PS SP
14 General
NOTE For evaluation purposes, the first measured value and the
values documented during previous maintenance or safety
checks must be compared to the measured values. A sudden
or unexpected increase in the measured values may indicate
a defect in the protective conductor connections - even if the
limit value of 0.2 ohms is not exceeded. (Protective conduc-
tor or contacts).
The measurement must be performed according to DIN VDE 0751, Part 1 (refer to ARTD
Part 2). The protective conductor resistance for all touchable conductive parts must be
measured during the normal operating state of the system.
Make sure that control cables or data cables between the components of the system are
not mistaken for protective conductor connections.
During the measurement, the power cable and additional connection cables which also cre-
ate the protective conductor connection between system parts (e.g. monitor cable between
the basic unit and monitor trolley) must be moved section by section to detect cable breaks.
The protective conductor resistance must not exceed 0.2 ohms.

Pos. 1 = System
Pos. 2 = Application part type B (if available)
Pos. 3 = Measurement setup (integrated into measuring device)
The values determined, including the measuring points, must be recorded and evaluated
in the protective conductor resistance protocol.
The measuring procedure and the measuring device used (designation and serial number)
must also be documented.
1.6.9 System leakage current measurement information
NOTE During maintenance, the system leakage current measure-

ment must be conducted and recorded as a repeat measure-
ment.
However, the first measured value must be newly determined
and a new protocol be must created under the following con-
ditions:
- Lack of documentation for system leakage current mea-
surement
- When local line voltage or line frequency deviates from the
line voltage and line frequency documented in the protocol
(e.g., in the event of a site/operator change)
- When a different procedure for measuring the system leak-
age current than the one documented in the protocol is used.
For the purpose of traceability, reference to the new protocol
must be written in the old protocol. The reason for newly
determining the first measured value must be documented
and confirmed with a name and signature.
Observe the instructions in the "Safety Rules for Installation and Repair"
(ARTD-002.731.17 ...).
Additionally, country-specific regulations and norms must be observed.

08.09 CS PS SP
16 General
WARNING Electrical voltage!

¹ The system leakage current measurement may be per-
formed on systems of protection class I only after the
protective conductor test has been passed.
First measured value

The first measured value was already determined and documented in the system leakage
current protocol. The measuring procedure was also recorded.
The measurement was performed with the recorded line voltage, line frequency and with
the recorded measuring equipment.
Measurement
Perform the measurement according to DIN VDE 0751, Part 1 (see ARTD-002.731.17....),
and record the determined value.
The measuring procedure indicated in the protocol must be used.

If the first measured value has to be newly determined (see previous information), a mea-
suring procedure can be selected (direct measurement or differential measurement).
Measurement of the system leakage current according to the differential current method
(measurement setup according to (Fig. 2 / p. 16)) must be given preference, since this
method is not dangerous to the person performing the measurement and other persons.
However, please note the minimum resolution of the system leakage current measuring
instrument and any additional manufacturer's data restricting the use of the measuring
device.

Pos. 1 = System
If the direct measurement of the system leakage current is used (measurement setup
according to (Fig. 3 / p. 17)), the system must be insulated during the measurement and
must not be touched.

WARNING Electrical voltage!

¹ No housing parts of the system may be touched during
direct measurement of the leakage current (measure-
ment setup according to (Fig. 3 / p. 17)).
¹ Third-person access to the system must be prevented.
The system must be switched on during measurement. Measuring devices with automated
measuring sequences must therefore be set to manual measurement.
Enter the highest value in the system leakage current protocol.
This value must not exceed the permissible leakage current values according to DIN VDE
0751-1/2001-10, Table F.1, line "system leakage current for units according to remarks 1
and 3" of
2.5 mA.
Measure and record the current line voltage. If the measured line voltage deviates from the
nominal voltage, correct the measured value to the value corresponding to a measurement
at the nominal value of the line voltage. This must also be documented.
Document the measuring procedure (differential measurement or direct measurement)
and the measuring device used (designation and serial number).
In the case of repeat measurements, the measured value must also be evaluated.
that a fault has occurred in the primary power supply circuit
(insulation damage, damage from moisture, defective inter-
ference suppressor, etc.) - even if the limit value of 2.5 mA is
not exceeded.
The evaluation is not necessary in the case of a new determination.

File the protocol sheet in the system binder or log book.
