This register window comprises two additional windows, “Earth Resistance” (A) and “Used
Measurement and Test Instruments” (B). Both of these fields have the following character-
istics:
The highest earth resistance value measured from all pertaining distributions and cur-
rent circuits is automatically entered into the “Earth Resistance” field (refer to A) when
reading in the measurement data. This value can be modified at any time.
This value can be taken from a direct earth measurement or from an RCD contact vol-
tage measurement. If the measurement values in the pertaining tables under ”Distri-
bution-Current Circuit – Measurement Data” are subject to subsequent changes, these
values will not be updated.
When reading in measurement data, the type and the serial number of up to four used
measurement instruments are entered into the field “Used measuring and test instru-
ments” (B). However, it is possible to directly enter a measurement instrument. For this
purpose, click on the “...” button to the right of the entry field. The “Test Instrument”
window appears. Search for the respective entry and confirm by clicking on “OK”.

5.2.4 Create Data Record for Distribution
In this example distributions and current circuits are created manually. If measure-
ment values are transferred from the Test and Measurement instruments equipped
with a data memory (e.g. UNITEST 0100-Expert plus or 0100-EUROtest), distribu-
tions and current circuits are automatically created within the database, once you ac-
cept measurement data and assign it to Customer/Installation/Test.
The manual entry facility for distributions and current circuits allows the entry of a in-
stallation structure prior to testing. A current circuit list can be printed, helping the
controller when entering distribution and current circuit codes at the time of saving
the measurement values.
Various default settings for installations with the respective structure regarding dis-
tributions and current circuits can be created (e.g. detached family house, multiple
dwelling, building site main cabinet). If required, they can be copied or modified.
Change to the “Distribution” window selecting either the “View | Distribution” menu or
directly click on the “Distribution” list field. The previously created data records for
“Customer A”, “Installation 1”, and “New installation” must still be displayed in the re-
spective windows.
Create a new data record using the “Data record | Add” menu command or use the con-
text menu, which may be accessed by clicking the right mouse key. A new distribution
“xxxxx” is created for the new installation within “Installation 1” for “Customer A”. The
new distribution data record is displayed as shown in Figure 5.17.
33
Figure 5.17 Add data record for distribution
The distribution code is automatically assigned when creating the data record. It is ad-
vised that this code remains unchanged. However, if desired, it can be modified accor-
dingly. The code must be a three-digit number between 1 and 999.
The distribution code is used to save the measurements within the test instrument to
ensure that they are automatically assigned to the pertaining distributions and cur-
rent circuits when reading in the data. The distribution code is the number having
been entered for the distribution when saving at the test instrument. The measure-
ment data is saved under this number within the test instrument.
For the instrument 0100-Expert plus this is memory level “U” (sub distribution).
For the instrument 0100-Expert this is memory level “S”.
34
Furthermore, a number (No.) can be indicated for the distribution. Consequently, you
are kindly asked to leave this field empty. If a value is entered, this value is printed in
lieu of the distribution code.
Select the distribution name “Main distribution (with meter counter)” by clicking on
the “” field on the right of the entry field. A list is now displayed indicating all distri-
bution designations used. Select the respective entry from the list.
For automatic measurement assignment to distributions and current circuits, the di-
stribution code within one test must be unambiguous and contain no double num-
bers! The distribution code is automatically assigned when creating the data record.
It is advised that this code remains unchanged. However, if desired it can be modi-
fied accordingly.
If double distribution codes occur within the same client, reference will be made by
the display of a respective message. The codes must be modified accordingly in the
distribution window, please refer to section 7.4.4 “View | Distribution” or to section
7.4.5 “View | Current Circuit”.

5.2.5 Create Data Records for New Current Circuits
In this example distributions and current circuits are created manually. If measure-
ment values are transferred from the Test and Measurement instruments equipped
with a data memory (e.g. UNITEST 0100-Expert, UNITEST 0100 Expert plus, or 0100-
EUROtest), distributions and current circuits are automatically created within the da-
tabase, once you accept measurement data and assign it to Customer/Installation/Test.
The manual entry facility for distributions and current circuits allows the entry of a in-
stallation structure prior to testing. A current circuit list can be printed, helping the
controller when entering distribution and current circuit codes at the time of saving
the measurement values.
Change to the “Current Circuit” window selecting either the “View | Current Circuit” menu
or directly click on the “Current Circuit” list field. The previously created data records
for “Customer A”, “Installation 1”, “New installation”, and “Counter Cabinet with ...” must
still be displayed in the respective windows.
Create a new data record using the “Data record | Add” menu command or use the con-
text menu, which may be accessed by clicking the right mouse key. A new current cir-
cuit “001 xxxxx” is created at the “Counter Cabinet with ...” distributor for the new in-
stallation within “Installation 1” for “Customer A”. The new distribution data record is
displayed as shown in Figure 5.18.
36
Figure 5.18: Add record for current circuit
The current circuit code is automatically assigned when creating the data record. It is
advised that this code remains unchanged. However, if desired, it can be modified ac-
cordingly. The code must be a three-digit number between 1 and 999.
The current circuit code is used to save the measurements within the test instrument
to ensure that they are automatically assigned to the pertaining distributions and cur-
rent circuits when reading in the data. The current circuit code is the number having
been entered for the current circuit when saving at the test instrument.
For the instrument 0100-Expert plus this is memory level “S” (Current circuit).
For the instrument 0100-Expert this is memory level “P”
37
Furthermore, a number (No.) can be indicated for the current circuit. Here, the current

5.4 Performing Tests and Measurements using an Example

This section deals with the performance and recording of tests and measurements on elec-
trical installations. The structure of the installation to be tested should be created in es con-
trol 0100 prior to performing the measurements. Thus, assignments of the measurements
to distributions and current circuits are simplified.
A current circuit list containing codes, numbers, and names for distributions and current
circuits is printed. It is used as model for correct saving of measurements within the test
instrument.
Furthermore, an explanation for the distributions is printed, bearing the numbers and des-
ignations of the pertaining current circuits.
Then, the measurements are performed and re-transferred into the UNITEST es control
database. In addition to the measurements, the tests performed are recorded. Finally, the
test reports are printed
The structure for the installation to be tested is already created as demonstration data
record for this example. The respective measurement data can be imported from a
file.

6.3 Performing the Test

For this example, you may carry out some measurements using your test instrument and
read in the data..
When working with the instrument UNITEST ”0100-Expert” and 0100-EXPERT plus
code must be entered under ‘U’ and the current circuit code under ‘S’, to allow cor-
rect assignment within the es control 0100 professional!
For the UNITEST 0100-Expert the distribution code must be entered under 'S' and the
current circuit code under 'P'. The designation ‘S” for current circuit and ‘P’ for place
is no longer valid for es control 0100 professional!
If desired, for this example, you may directly read in the measurement results of the
performed tests from a file without necessity to perform the measurements. For
“Example 2”, the measurements of a building site main cabinet is used.
For this purpose, use the function “File | Read in data from File”. Read in the measure-
ment data from the file “BEISPIEL2.SER” and continue with section 6.3.2.

Lines with that type of marking are assigned to already available data records during data
transfer. This data has already been modified by the user or recognised by means of the
transferred distribution and current circuit indications.
Marking (B), “001” (light green):
Lines with that type of marking are automatically subject to new creation during the data
transfer.
Marking (C), “???” (red):
Lines with that type of marking are not accepted during data transfer. These measurement
values must be modified by the user, or the respective indications for customer, installa-
tion, and test must be created (please refer to section 7.4).).
When working with a UNITEST “0100 Expert”:
For the instrument 0100-Expert plus the distribution code is saved under “U” and the
current circuit code under “S”.
When saving with the UNITEST “0100 Expert”, the distribution code must be enter-
ed under “S” and the current circuit code under “P” The description “S” for current
circuit and “P” for location is no longer valid for the es control 0100!
Transfer data from several test instruments:

After the measurement data transfer, you may close the “Read in data” window and start
new data transfer from another test instrument. The measurement data is then added to

For owner of the instrument series UNITEST Telaris:

Test instruments of the Telaris series are able to save a current circuit code for the measu-
rement. The measurements are saved under a consecutive memory address number.
For this reason, it is recommended to create the installation within the es control 0100 pro-
fessional with pertaining distributions and current circuits in a test before performing the
measurements. Afterwards, the current circuit list can be printed and the measurements
can be performed on the installation using the list.
Figure 7.47: Telaris test instruments – Current circuit list
The present memory location number can be entered into the "Remarks" column after ha-
ving tested a current circuit.
After the assignment of the measurements to the test created the measurements are di-
splayed in the read-in data window
158
Figure 7.48: Telaris test instruments – assign read in measurements
Figure 7.49: Telaris test instruments – read in data
Measurements of instruments belonging to the Telaris series may be recognised at the 4-

digit current circuit code (0001, 0002, etc.) These current circuit codes (memory address
number) recognisable at the colour coding light green cannot be automatically assigned to
an available current circuit. The assignment of these measurement has to be performed
manually.
After the assignment the measurements are taken over clicking the "Accept data" button.
