SEN60204 Machinery Directive Tester 33 FIGURE 4C RESIDUAL VOLTS DECAY TEST USING PROBES FEATURES DESCRIPTION The SEN60204 is one of the most advanced machinery directive testers available, providing a comprehensive guide to the electrical safety of 230V and (with 3 phase adaptor) 400V machines. The SEN60204 is microprocessor controlled and enables the user to select either Manual, Automatic or Testcode mode of operation. Alternatively the SEN60204 may be controlled by the RS232 serial port of a computer. All internal power and test outputs for single phase testing are derived from the 230V mains...

SEN60204 Machinery Directive Tester 32 FIGURE 4A FUNCTIONAL TESTS FIGURE 4B FUNCTIONAL TESTS USING A THREE PHASE ADAPTOR The SEN60204 performs eight functions: • Visual Inspection • Protective Bonding Test • Insulation Test • Voltage Test • Pre-Load Test • Operations Test • Leakage Test • Residual Volts Decay Test The control and use of the instrument is extremely simple with clear explicit prompts on the large liquid crystal display. SAFETY FEATURES A number of safety features are included in the instrument design and these include: • A monitor between neutral and earth connection to the SEN60204...

SEN60204 Machinery Directive Tester 31 FIGURE 3A INSULATION / VOLTAGE TEST FIGURE 3B INSULATION / VOLTAGE TEST USING PROBES Eight different tests are performed by the SEN60204 and these are described as follows: VISUAL INSPECTION General The objective of the visual check is to confirm that the machinery under test is not damaged and thereby safe to test. PROTECTIVE BONDING TEST- EN 60204.1.20.2, EN 60439.1.8.3.3 General The objective of this test is to ensure that the connection between the earth or protective conductor of the machinery’s mains plug / incoming supply terminal earth connection...

SEN60204 Machinery Directive Tester 30 FIGURE 2A PROTECTIVE BONDING TEST POINT TO PLUG FIGURE 2B PROTECTIVE BONDING TEST POINT TO POINT standard). The voltage between the earth terminal of the power test socket and the Protective Bonding test clip is measured, scaled and displayed. This method of measurement is the Kelvin or 4 wire method. The resistance of the test leads, providing that they do not have appreciable voltage drop at the test current, does not affect the measurement. The objective of the high current is to thermally stress all protective earth connections. The result is displayed...
