A-1532XA + IT-XC MI 3152

Instaltest XC MI-3152 Multifunction Installation Tester

The Instaltest XC MI-3152 is a revolutionary touch screen multifunction installation tester for live and dead installation testing, verification and diagnosis, as well as high volume RCD testing with bar code scanning of asset IDs. Test results can be saved for downloading to reporting software.

The unit includes features never before seen on a multifunction installation tester:

• Touch screen guarantees quick and intuitive operation. No confusing nested menus or rotary switches
• Basic and advanced live and dead socket and installation testing with tick or cross result and fault diagnosis
• Auto-sequences to verify sockets and installations in seconds by combining up to 6 single tests into a single push button sequence
• Power & total harmonic distortion (THD) measurements
• Illuminance measurement and logging
• Wire tracing and fuse identification

InstalTest XC Overview:

• Replaces 5 instruments with 12 tests in 1 instrument
• Socket and installation testing of live and dead circuits with fault diagnosis
• RCD testing and logging as well as logging of RCD Push Button Tests
• Inbuilt limits set to AS/NZS3017

Metrel A-1532XA EVSE (Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment) Adapter

The Metrel A-1532XA EVSE (Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment) adapter is a special accessory for the InstalTest series of multifunction testers for use in the verification of electrical safety and functional testing of Mode 3 electric vehicle charging stations with a type 2 connector.

Check out the Metrel Overview video below which gives you a quick guidance on how easy it is to conduct ESVE tests using the A-1532XA and the InstalTest installation testers.

When used with InstalTest XC and XD Installation testers, the complete EVSE charging station can be tested (state-by-state) electrically and functionally with a push of a button and create a professional station-based report with Metrel's MESM software.

What is EVSE Protocol?
The Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE) protocol keeps you and your electric vehicle safe while charging.

Using two-way communication between the charger and car, the correct charging current is set based on the maximum current the charger can provide as well as the maximum current the car can receive. As part of the protocol, a safety lock-out exists, preventing current from flowing when the charger is not connected to the car. It ensures that if a cable is not correctly inserted, power will not flow through it.

EVSE can also detect hardware faults, disconnecting the power and preventing battery damage, electrical shorts and fire.

A-1532XA EVSE Adaptor Connection & Test Procedure

Testing Procedure:

• Connect the A 1532XA output to the Instaltest XC or XD tester (via mains test socket or via safety banana sockets)
• Select PP State (3) position N.C. and CP State (4) position A.
• Connect A 1532XA plug (6) to the EVSE.
• Run installation tests for non-energized installation circuits.
• Simulate different charging conditions with PP State (3) and CP State (4). Verify the response of the EVSE.
• In PP State (3) position different to N.C. and CP State (4) position in C or D, the EVSE output is energized. Installation tests for energized installation circuits.

Examples of Error Conditions Identified:

• Error condition or disconnection of plug
• EVSE does not supply energy
• EV detected, EV not ready to receive energy, EVSE does not supply energy
• EV ready to receive energy, EVSE is supplying energy if ventilation is not required.
• EV ready to receive energy and requires ventilation, EVSE is supplying energy only if ventilation exists.
• EVSE doesn’t supply energy (no power).

InstalTest XC or XD Auto-Sequences

Metrel's Auto-Sequences combine a single tests into single key press operation and indicate Pass/Fail with a green tick or red cross. The dedicated ESVE auto-sequences also ensure that users are carrying our the required tests in the correct order.
