1.- SAFETY PRECAUTIONS Follow the warnings described in this manual with the symbols shown below. DANGER Warns of a risk, which could result in personal injury or material damage. ATTENTION Indicates that special attention should be paid to a specific point. If you must handle the unit for its installation, start-up or maintenance, the following should be taken into consideration: Incorrect handling or installation of the unit may result in injury to personnel as well as damage to unit. In particular, handling with voltage applied may result in electric shock, which may cause death or serious injury to personnel. Defective installation or maintenance may also lead to the risk of fire. Carefully read the manual prior to connecting the unit. Follow all the installation and maintenance instructions for the unit throughout its working life. In particular, follow the installation standards indicated in the Low Voltage Directive and additional technical instructions. The installation, operation and maintenance of LV units must only be carried out by authorised installers. LV regulations (Art. 22) specifically define the requirements that authorised installers must meet. If in order to install the unit, you must work in areas that have high-voltage (HV) units installed, then the personnel handling units in this area must be authorised to work in HV installations. See National Electric Code 55/2004 dated 18-06-2004, which regulates the requirements and the operation of high-voltage installation and maintenance companies. 2.- PRODUCT DESCRIPTION 2.1.- DESCRIPTION Step and contact analyzer based on current injection during one network cycle. Provides up to 50 A to a maximum recommended earthing resistance of 10 ohms. Remote control via telephone and Bluetooth communication. The unit's software is easily updated and customized.

2.2.- WHAT SHOULD IT BE USED FOR? The Getest unit is designed to measure step and contact voltages that may arise in a transformer substation, substation, etc. It also gives you the option of calculating the approximate earthing resistance to be tested. . 2.3.- WHERE SHOULD IT BE USED? The unit is intended to operate in transformer substations, substations and high-voltage lines. 2.4.- UNIT SAFETY This device can generate voltages that are harmful or even fatal to the human body. It has built-in protections that reduce the risk of electric shock to a minimum, but even so, you should take the necessary safety measures. This instrument can generate deadly voltages. It is essential that the operator takes safety measures. In the event of risk or device failure, do not hesitate to cancel the firing sequence. Ensure that there are no people in the current injection area of influence. Also ensure that nobody is handling the cables before starting the firing sequence. The device weighs 45 kg. This weight may be harmful to the user if it is handled by unqualified people or if it is lifted incorrectly. The instrument has two ergonomic handles and we recommend it be carried by two people. The device also includes two electrodes. These weigh 25 kg each. This weight may be harmful if it is not lifted If the firing sequence is accidentally started (by pushing the "START" button on the PDA), it may be cancelled at any time by: - Pushing the "STOP" button - Switching the safety switch to the "disabled" position - Cutting off the Bluetooth link (for example, by removing the PDA's battery or leaving the coverage area) - Flipping the circuit breaker switch The circuit breaker switch and the safety switch are independent devices and they act directly on the network power supply (switch) or on the output current (security switch). In this way, even in an unlikely software or hardware failure, these two devices prevent current injection. If the sequence is not cancelled, the MPC device fires a first shot of 25 V. If the resistance found is higher than 110 Ω, a message warns the user, asking if he would like to continue or not. Bearing in mind that the resistance of the human body in normal conditions is 1 kΩ, this warning is a basic protection measure. If the sequence continues, the new MPC will only inject current for 20 ms. According to the IEC 60479-1 standard, the maximum applied voltage should not cause ventricular fibrillation, even

when touching the conductive parts with the palm of your hand in humid conditions; but medial assistance may be required. 3.- VERIFICATIONS ON RECEIVING Check the following points when you receive the instrument: a) The unit meets its order specifications. b) The unit has not suffered any damage during transport. c) Perform an external visual inspection of the unit prior to switching it on d) It comes equipped with the following accessories: 1 Getest unit 3 Rolls of cable (2 red + 1 yellow-green) 2 Weights of 25 kg each 2 Switches 1 Power supply cable. 1 Case containing: • Power supply cable • Calibration certificate • Samsung Galaxy Young telephone with all its components (charger, box, etc.) • Cocodrile clamp • Cable to connect the weights • Measuring pick • 2 switches • Instruction Manual If any problem is noticed upon reception, immediately contact the transport company and/or CIRCUTOR's after-sales services 3.1.- RECEPTION PROTOCOL � Make sure that the unit has not been damaged during transport. � Check that the unit received matches the order and that its electrical features are suitable for the grid where it is to be connected. � Check the shipping documentation.

� If any problem is noticed upon reception, immediately contact the transport company and/or CIRCUTOR's after-sales services. 3.2.- TRANSPORT, LOADING AND UNLOADING, HANDLING AND STORAGE To move the unit a short distance, the unit's floor support profiles facilitate handling with a pallet jack or forklift. Transport with pallet jack When unloading and moving the unit, use a forklift with forks long enough to support the entire length of the base. Otherwise, the forks should be long enough to support at least ¾ of said depth. The centre of gravity of some units may be found at a considerable height. Therefore, when handling with a forklift, it is recommended that the unit be securely fastened and that no abrupt operations are made. The unit should not be lifted more than 20 cm off the ground. The transport, loading and unloading and handling of the unit must be carried out with proper precautions and using the proper manual or mechanical tools to prevent damage to the unit. If the unit is not to be immediately installed, it must be stored at a location with a firm and level floor, and the storage conditions listed in the technical features section must be observed. In this case, it is recommended that the unit be stored with its original protective packaging

The forks must be flat and supported firmly by the base. The cabinet must be raised by placing the forks underneath the profile that supports the unit. Unloading with a forklift 3.3.- STORAGE The unit should be stored according to the following recommendations: - Avoid placing it on uneven surfaces. - Do not store it in outdoor areas, humid areas or areas exposed to splashing water. - Avoid hot spots (maximum temperature: 45 ºC) - Avoid saline and corrosive environments. - Avoid storing the unit in areas where a lot of dust is generated or where the risk of chemical or other types of contamination is present. - Do not place any weight on top of the unit cabinets. - 4.- DISCLAIMER CIRCUTOR, SA reserves the right to make modifications to the device or the unit specifications set out in this instruction manual without prior notice. CIRCUTOR, SA advises the user to obtain the device's latest version of the specifications and applications at http://www.circutor.es CIRCUTOR, SA recommends the use of the original cables and accessories supplied with the unit. 5.- UNIT FEATURES 5.1.- PERFORMANCE FEATURES - Step and contact analyzer based on current injection during one network cycle - Provides up to 50 A to a load of 10 ohms (test earthing plus auxiliary earthing).

Auto ranging up to 100 Vac. - It has built-in safety protection that make it almost impossible to cause harm to people - Output protected against short-circuit (25 Vac output limited to 35 A). 5.2.- ELECTRICAL FEATURES Power circuit F-N Voltage (L1-N) 230 Vac ±20% Frequency 50…60 Hz Current 15 Aac You need a low-impedance power supply line to get maximum performance, given that peaks of up to 130 A for 20 ms may appear when applying maximum power. We recommend using cable with a cross-section of 2.5 mm 2 or greater to get low resistance in the cabling. We recommend protecting the line with: 50 A B-curve Circuit Breaker (ICP), or 30 A C-curve Circuit Breaker, or 16 A D-curve Circuit Breaker, per EN60898. This avoids potential firing of the protections when taking measurements with the unit.

Due to the nature of the device, an injection of several amps will cause some disturbances in the power supply lines, but the EMC directive permits these disturbances in these cases, in which the phenomenon is inherent to the nature of the device. Furthermore, depending on the quality of the power supply lines, the power supply voltage may drop to 20% for 20 ms, so we recommend disconnecting all units that are sensitive to these line variations before taking measurements Category IEC61010 CAT III 600V Connections Power supply IEC320 C20 16A Current injection 4 mm safety jack CATIV 600V 32 A Voltage measurement 4 mm safety jack CATIV 600V 32 A

Despite these connectors being designed for nominal currents of up to 30 A, they can withstand currents of up to 150 A for 20 ms without affecting their strength or features.

Electrodes not included 6.- UNIT INSTALLATION This manual contains information and warnings that the user must adhere to in order to guarantee the safe operation of the reconnecting device, maintaining it in a good state with regards to safety. The unit should not be switched on until it has been mounted in its final location in the electric cabinet. If the unit is used in a manner other than that specified by the manufacturer, its protection elements may be compromised. When it is likely that the unit has lost its safety protection (signs of visible damage), it should be disconnected from the auxiliary power supply. In this case, contact a qualified technical service representative. 6.1.- INSTALLATION The Getest may be powered directly from the mains (230 Vac and 50-60 Hz) or from a single- phase generator set. The required power of the generator set will depend on the value of the circuit loop resistance. This means that the bigger the loop resistance (test earthing plus auxiliary earthing), the more power the generator set must have in order to inject the current required by the user. The line protection circuit breaker device must be, at least, 50 A for B-curve circuit breakers, 30 A for C-curves and 16 A for D-curves, according to the EN60898 standard. If using devices with lower capacity, the MPC will not be able to deliver the maximum power. The cross-section and length of the connection cable may limit the MPC's capacity. Despite the MPC not needing high-capacity cabling or connectors due to its current injection system, we recommend that the cross-section of the power supply cables be as large as possible, to reduce voltage losses that affect the device's maximum capacity. As an example, indicated below is the maximum earth resistance to which 5, 10, 25 and 50 A may be injected, depending on the power supply cable used:

When using a rolled extension cord to connect the unit to the mains, it is necessary to unroll it completely to perform the test, as well as the current and voltage coils supplied with the unit. 6.2.- UNIT PARTS GETEST Wiring Max R 5A Max R 10A Max R 25A Max R 50A Power on indicator Safety switch 20 A D-curve circuit breaker Measurement connection Current injection connection Bluetooth connection indicator Power supply connector IEC C20

6.3.- START-UP 1.- Connect the measuring cables (2) and the current injection cables (3), depending on the measurement you are going to take. 2.- Connect the power supply cable (7) to the MPC and to the mains socket. The device is designed to operate with 230 Vac. 50/60 Hz. Please ensure that the voltage is correct before plugging in the device. The device is protected from overvoltage with a F250 mA fuse Note: Connect the device to a line or generator capable of supplying the required power: Required power ≥ (600 V x current to be injected) 3.- Flip the switch (6). The red LED will light up. 4.- Before connecting the telephone and unit via Bluetooth, we first have to link the Getest unit to the telephone as follows: Touch the following icon on the phone's main screen which will take you to settings 5.- Select the "Wireless connections" option. Activate Bluetooth and then click on the "Scan for Devices" option. The telephone will detect the switched-on Getest unit with the name ESD100v1.1.0. Click on that name and wait for the blue "Linked" message to appear.

7. Once the unit is linked, return to the Circutor Getest program. Select the linked unit by opening the following window and then clicking on the "Connect" icon. 8.- Turn the safety switch (5) to the "Enabled" position. 9.- Select the testing mode (resistance, step or contact). If you select "resistance" you must indicate the test current. In "step" and "contact" mode, you must indicate the maximum fault current (value provided by the supply company) and the test current. The step and contact voltage currents are calculated using the following formulas according to the erratic voltage values:

If the erratic voltages are less than 10% of the voltage to be injected If the erratic voltages are more than 10% of the voltage to be injected Note: the erratic voltages are measured automatically, warning the user if they exceed 50 Vac 10.- Press "Fire" to begin the sequence. The sequence consists of: a) Warning signal b) Current output contactor connection c) Erratic voltage measurement d) Test at 25 Vac e) Injection of, as a minimum, the required current f) Increased voltage if the desired current is not reached g) Injection of current with an 180º lag h) Display of results 10.- Once the test is finished the results of the test will be displayed on the PDA's results screen. 11.- The results obtained may be saved and transferred to a computer with a USB cable. º 0 0º max.

7.- CONNECTION DIAGRAMS Hardware earthing and auxiliary earthing connection Connect one of the GETEST's injection terminals (IP) to the hardware earthing or the transformer substation's or substation's protection earthing. Do not confuse the hardware earthing with that of the service, although in some earthing systems they will be interconnected. Connect the other GETEST injection terminal (IP) to the auxiliary earthing that we have previously created. As an example, if you wish to inject 5 A you must have a sum of earthing connections that does not exceed 110 Ω and for 50 A it must not exceed 10 Ω Hardware earthing detail You must find or build a good auxiliary earthing, as it will determine whether the unit can inject the test current. Bearing in mind that the ohmic value of the hardware earthing can not be reduced; try to reduce the auxiliary earthing resistance instead. If you use spikes to make an auxiliary earthing, you can reduce the ohmic value if you add more spikes in parallel, wet the ground itself, nail the spikes deeper into the ground, etc. There are several options for making an auxiliary earthing: • Use a neutral earthing from the installation as long as it is not connected to the hardware earthing. • Nail several spikes into the ground with some distance between them. • Use the earthing from other elements outside the transformer substation or substation

Supports Spike system Neutral earthing 7.1.- STEP VOLTAGE Connect the roll of 2-wire cable (yellow-green) to the Getest's voltage terminals (yellow-green). Run the other end to the weights, one cable for each weight. Arrange the weights one metre apart from each other, simulating the passage of a person. The step and contact measurements are taken Auxiliary earthing Earthing to be tested Auxiliary earthing

in places where dangerous voltages could appear if the installation suffers an earthing fault (around the centre, within the centre, etc.). The recommended distance between the hardware earthing and the auxiliary earthing is 5 times the diagonal of the substation or transformer substation premises. The separation distances shown in this manual's connection diagrams are minimum distances that must be increased based on the dimensions of the transformer substation or substation. Once the connections are made, select step voltage mode in the PDA and enter the maximum fault current (value provided by the supply company). 7.2.- CONTACT VOLTAGE To perform the contact test, the weights must be connected to each other using a safety jack cable and also connected to one of the unit's voltage terminals. Connect the other voltage measurement terminal to anything metallic in the transformer substation or substation (truss, door, casing, etc.) that may be exposed to dangerous voltages in the event of an earthing fault. As shown in the following image, the weights are connected with a "banana" safety jack cable. Auxiliary earthing Earthing to be tested Metal part

Once the connections are made, select contact voltage mode in the PDA and enter the maximum fault current (value provided by the supply company). 7.3.- EARTH RESISTANCE Pouring water around the auxiliary earth (spike system) and increasing the number of spikes are measures that can solve the problem (safety measures must be maintained when using/transporting water in electrical installations). In any of the working modes (step, contact or resistance), the auxiliary earth must be good enough to allow a correct measurement. Bear in mind that a poor auxiliary earth adds a series resistance to the circuit, which reduces the MPC device's performance, decreasing the current injection capacity. If you try to take measurements with a high auxiliary earth, an Error message will appear on the PDA screen warning you of the situation. Measurements must be taken with full respect for the diagrams and warnings in this manual. If not, the values obtained from the PDA will be wrong. You must not use the earth pick that comes with the unit as an auxiliary earthing spike. Earth pick

8.- PC CONNECTION The use of a PDA to control the MPC allows you to store the data in the PDA's memory and transfer them to a PC once the measurements have been taken to process them or create a report "Windows Mobile" Version 1.- Install Microsoft ActiveSyncTM. The program can be downloaded for free at the Microsoft TM web site. This program manages the connection between the PC and the PDA. 2.- Connect the PDA to the PC. This connection can be made using the USB cable or through a Bluetooth connection. 3.- ActiveSyncTM automatically detects the PDA and gives the user the option of syncing several elements (address book, e-mails, files, etc.). Pressing "Cancel" will let you exchange files only, which is sufficient for our purposes. 4.- Open a file explorer and go to the "My PC" icon. A "Mobile device" will appear. This device is your PDA; you can browse through it and copy any files you wish to your PC's hard drive. 5.- Once you have copied the file to the PC's hard drive, you can open it with any program you wish to display it, edit it or analyse it. "Android" version 1.- Connect your telephone to the computer with a USB cable. 2.- Enable the phone's connection to the computer. 2.- Enter in "My PC" and select the "Removable device" icon. 3.- Open the desired file. 9.- WARNING AND ERROR MESSAGES ON THE PDA If something happens during the process of measuring step, contact and resistance voltages, an error message will appear on the PDA showing us the cause of the error. The following table shows the possible errors that may appear on the PDA. Message Cause Solution Error: Reading cal data. Loading default data Error in the calibration data. The MPC may be out of calibration Contact the vendor to receive recalibration instructions, if possible Error: Language file not Found! Error in the language file Reinstall the software on the PDA ERROR: COM port error Data transmission error Close the application and reboot the PDA and the MPC Error: Timeout opening a port Fault in the Bluetooth port Close the application and reboot the PDA and the MPC Error: Current value is invalid Value entered is invalid Enter a correct value Error: The file is invalid File you wish to open does not have the correct format Select a MPC file in "csv" format Error: Main contactor failure. Safety switch in "Disabled" Turn the switch to "Enabled" position

It won't switch on. Check the safety switch position Error: the required current cannot be reached. Do you wish to continue extrapolating data? The MPC unit can not reach the required current due to an unknown cause. If allowed, the PDA will extrapolate the values at the desired current using the highest current that it can Connect the MPC to a mains socket connected to an installation with less impedance or to a generator with more power. You may also try to reduce the load Danger: Main contactor failure. It won't switch off There is a risk of electric shock. The main contactor has broken and the safety protection is no longer valid Contact the vendor. Erratic voltages higher than 50V. Continue? There is a risk of electric shock. The erratic voltages are too high. It is possible that one phase of the network is earthed Contact the manager of the installation being tested. Danger: very high loop resistance, possible connection error. Check connections and make sure no one is touching the injection circuit. Do you wish to continue? There is a risk of electric shock. Resistance found is too high, maybe due to bad connections Check connections and make sure no one is touching the connectors/electrodes/auxiliary earth, remove rust from connectors/electrodes/auxiliary earth Warning: the unit may not have enough power to inject the required current. The loop resistance is too high for the indicated current. Do you wish to continue? There is a risk of electric shock. The loop resistance is too high for the requested current MPC will apply the maximum power, but will not be able to reach the required value Error: impossible to reach the required current; there is a drop in the device's power supply voltage. The installation to which it is connected is unable to supply the required current. A minimum of 20 KVA is needed. Do you wish to continue extrapolating data? You are requesting the MPC to supply more power than the electrical network is able to supply. Power is equal to the earth resistance times the square of the current to be injected. If allowed, the PDA will extrapolate the values using a lower current than desired Connect the MPC to a mains socket connected to an installation with less impedance or to a generator with more power Warning: a short-circuit has been found in the output. The current has been limited to 35 A. Check the connections. Measured resistance less than 0 W Check the connections. There may be a metallic plane in the earth Warning, resistance found is greater than 120 ohms. Check the connections. Do you wish to continue? There is a risk of electric shock. Resistance found is too high Check the connections and make sure no one is touching the connectors/electrodes/auxiliary earth, remove rust from connectors/electrodes/auxiliary earth 10.- MAINTENANCE AND TECHNICAL SERVICE In the case of any query in relation to unit operation or malfunction, please contact the CIRCUTOR, SA Technical Support Service.
