3.2 Device description

The ARTES 460 and 560 relay test systems are used for functional tests and to test the configured
excitation and tripping characteristics of various protective devices, such as distance and differential
protection relays, DT/IDMT relays, or voltage and frequency relays. They can also be used to test all
kinds of measuring transducers. The test instruments can also be used as a three-phase function
generator which is freely configurable in amplitude, frequency and phase angle.
The test systems feature four voltage and six current signal sources, enabling tests to be carried out
on static and digital relays and on differential protection relays without additional equipment.
Not only can ARTES 460 and ARTES 560 be used for static tests, they can also carry out dynamic
tests during which the current, voltage, frequency and phase angle parameters can be varied
widely. In addition, both binary signals and analog measurement values can be used to address the
protection device under test.
The reaction of the device under test is recorded in real time synchronously to signal output and
evaluated directly.
The test instruments feature an integrated control unit for stand-alone operation. The test systems
can also be operated and controlled using the ARTES testing software on a standard PC.

4 Commissioning and start up

Proper transport, specialist storage, set-up and commissioning and careful operation, maintenance
and servicing are essential in order for ARTES devices to function perfectly and safely.
The device must be packed and unpacked with due care and without the use of force. Suitable
tools should be used. A visual inspection should be carried out to check that the device is in perfect
mechanical order.
Check that the delivery is complete and was not damaged during transport. Do not put the device
into operation if there is any damage.
4.1 Transport and set-up

If possible, the device should always be transported in the transport bag or carrying case provided.
Avoid vibration! Always make sure the device is in a stable position and cannot fall down, slip or tip
over.
The devices have been designed for portable use and comply with IP20. They are not protected
against the ingress of moisture.For this reason they may only be used indoors in dry conditions.
Damp and wet can damage the test instrument and cause dangerous short circuits.
The operating voltage applied must lie within the supply voltage range detailed on the rating plate.
The signals connected to the measurement inputs must not exceed the maximum measuring range.
An overcurrent protective device should be used to protect the supply voltage.
When the test instrument is brought from a cold environment into a warm one, condensation can be
a source of danger. For this reason, it is important that earthing instructions are followed exactly.
The test systems are protected against overheating

by internal fans. Air grilles in the bottom panel
provide ventilation. The air grilles are fitted with a
dust filter from the inside to prevent the ingress of
coarse particles of dust or dirt. Before starting the

Doc. 7213002 – Rev. 1.00 12

Commissioning and start up
4.2 Connecting the protective earth conductor
Before connecting up and operating the device, the test system and the device under test must be
earthed correctly. Always check the earth connection before starting up the device.
 The test system is earthed by connecting it to an

earthed two-pole-and-earth socket-outlet using
the three-core power cable provided.
 The earth connection should never be interrupted
by an extension cord without an earth conductor.
 If, for example, the test system is supplied with
electricity from a station battery and no earth
continuity conductor is available, the test system
must be earthed using the separate earthing
socket.
4.3 Connecting a device to be tested

The device to be tested should only be connected to or disconnected from the test instrument when
it is absolutely certain that no test values are available at the outputs.
The information given below must be taken into account when connecting a device to be tested:
 De-energize the measuring circuit.
 Check proper earthing
 Only use measuring leads which conform to the relevant safety regulations
 Only use measuring leads which can be firmly fixed to the device under test using plug-in
contacts or cable lugs
 Remove all superfluous measuring leads
 Use measuring leads which are as short as possible
 When connecting leads to the current outputs in particular, check the correct dimensioning of
the conductor cross-sections.
To start up the test instrument, the following steps should be carried out in the order given below:
1. Make sure that the main POWER switch is in the OFF position (0).
2. Connect the test instrument to the supply voltage. Only use the power cable with earthing

Doc. 7213002 – Rev. 1.00 13

Settings and operation
4.3.1 Operational states

The states and operating modes of the inputs and outputs are indicated by LEDs on the front panel.
5 Settings and operation

5.1 Connections
All the connections required for linking the device under test to the test instrument are located on
the front panel. The individual inputs and outputs are arranged in groups which can be identified by
their position and the frames which surround them.
The following connections are located on the front
panel:
 Connection to power supply / main power
switch/ fuse
 Protective earth connection
 Voltage outputs
 Auxiliary voltage source (DC Aux.)
 Current outputs
 Binary outputs
 Analog inputs
 Binary inputs
 Communication interfaces
5.1.1 Connection to power supply and external earthing

The device is supplied with power via the cable for
non-heating appliances provided.
The device is switched ON and OFF at the switch.
The device also has an external earth connection
which can be used to earth the device separately.
Doc. 7213002 – Rev. 1.00 14

5.1.2 Amplifier outputs

ARTES 460|560 feature four voltage amplifiers and six current amplifiers. The amplitude, frequency
and phase angle of their output signals can be set independently of one another. The current and
voltage amplifiers have electronic overload and short-circuit protection.
The test values are computed from the parameters entered in the software and fed to the device
under test via D/A converters and amplifiers. The synthetic generation of the test values
guarantees immunity to disturbances in the power supply.
The generated test values are supplied to the amplifier outputs where they can be picked up. The
amplifier outputs are arranged in groups:
 Voltage Output
 Current Output
The device under test is connected to the test instrument via safety banana sockets or multi-pole
system sockets (low-level signal outputs).
5.1.3 Voltage outputs

The four test voltages generated by the device can
be tapped at the outputs of the Voltage Output
group. All output voltages refer to N, the common
reference point (blue socket). The phase,
amplitude and frequency of channel U4 are freely
configurable, as are the phase amplitude and
frequency of the other voltage outputs. However,
channel U4 can also be used to simulate the
displacement voltage or to output the total voltage
(U1+U2+U3) (for more detailed information, consult
the user manual for the ARTES software).
The output range of the voltage amplifiers can be
switched from 300 V to 150 V to increase the
output current:
 4-phase 4 x 0...300 V / 75 VA
 1-phase 1 x 0...600 V / 150 VA
or:
 4-phase 4 x 0...150 V / 75 VA
 1-phase 1 x 0...300 V / 150 VA
5.1.4 Auxiliary voltage source (DC Aux.)

The test instrument features an auxiliary voltage
source for powering digital protection relays,
labelled DC Aux. (auxiliary voltage supply) on the
front panel. The direct voltage provided by this
output can be set between 12 and 260 V using the
ARTES testing software. The output power is 50 W
across the entire output range.
Doc. 7213002 – Rev. 1.00 15

5.1.5 Current outputs
The currents generated by the test system are

available at the outputs of the Current Output
groups. Six current channels are available whose
phase, amplitude and frequency can be configured
freely.
The current outputs are divided into two groups
(Current Output I1 to I3 and Current Output I4
to I6). All output currents refer to N, the common
reference point. The blue sockets for the reference
point of the first and second Current Output
groups are directly connected inside the device!
The current amplifiers deliver a maximum test
current of 16/32 A per channel. If greater test
currents are required, the amplifier outputs can be
operated in parallel. For example, if 3 x 32/64 A
are required for a three-phase test, the following
outputs should be connected in parallel: I1 and I4,
I2 and I5, I3 and I6.
Suitable shorting jumpers connected directly to the sockets of the front panel can be used to
connect the outputs in parallel. To keep power losses resulting from the connection between the
test system and the device under test to a minimum, it is better to take a separate connecting lead
from each output to the device under test and then connect them in parallel directly at the
terminal of the device under test.
With parallel operation, the test values are only output correctly if the appropriate settings are
made in the ARTES software. For more detailed information, consult the user manual for the
ARTES testing software.
The following amplitude and power data applies for three-phase systems with symmetrical
conditions:
ARTES 460 ARTES 560
6-phase 6 x 0 … 16 A / 40 VA 6 x 0 … 32 A / 100 VA
3-phase 3 x 0 … 32 A / 80 VA 3 x 0 … 64 A / 200 VA
5.1.6 Low-level signal outputs (LS Out)

All low-level signal outputs can be set separately
and independently of one another as regards
phase, amplitude and frequency. They are divided
into three separate groups, each of which can be
used independently of the others. Each group can
be used independently of the others. Use the cable
set LCS 460 to connect the device under test to
the multi-pole sockets on the front panel. The
outputs can also be used to control external
current and voltage amplifiers. The output signals
lie between 0 and 10 Vpk.
Pin assignment of the low-level signal outputs:
Doc. 7213002 – Rev. 1.00 16

5.1.7 Binary outputs

ARTES 460|560 have two binary outputs in the
form of switched relay contacts. They are located
in the Binary Output group. The sequences of the
individual outputs can be configured freely. The
contacts of the output relays are potential-free
(dry) and galvanically isolated from one another.
The switching capacity of the relays is:
AC 0…250 V, 8 A, resistive load
DC 0…300 V, Imax = 8 A, 50 W resistive load
5.1.8 Binary inputs

The test systems feature eight binary inputs which
are protected against polarity reversal and are
located in the Binary Input frame.
The binary inputs are arranged in two groups of
four channels. The connecting lines between the
reference points of the individual binary inputs
indicate the individual groups.
Each input group can be configured as wet (for
measurement of a contact) or dry (for
measurement of a voltage signal). Use the
operating software or the touch screen control
panel to switch the input groups to wet or dry.
Voltages between 24 VDC and 300 VDC can be
detected as signals.
Danger of damaging the device under test

When connecting a device under test, it is important to remember that the reference points of the
binary inputs of a group (1...4 and 5...8) are directly connected to one another within the device.
Doc. 7213002 – Rev. 1.00 17

5.1.9 Analog inputs

Two measurement inputs and two multi-pole
sockets for current and voltage are located on the
front panel for measuring analog values. This gives
a total of eight inputs which are divided into two
groups. The inputs of the Analog Voltage Input
group are used for voltage measurement while the
inputs of the Analog Current Input group are
used for current measurement. The inputs can be
switched between two different measuring ranges:
Voltage range:
±10 V
600 Vrms
Current range:
±10 V
±20 mA

Stand-alone operation (local mode)
6 Stand-alone operation (local mode)

The test instruments can be equipped with one of three different control panels. The model with
the jog dial enables the user to operate the test device and to control the current and voltage
sources without a PC. The control panels with touch screen as well as with touch screen and jog
wheel also make it possible to configure and carry out simple tests without having to make
configuration settings on a PC beforehand.
6.1 Control panel with jog dial

The function keys F1, F2, F3 and F4 and the jog
dial are used to make settings and select functions.
Each function key provides access to a number of
different functions, depending which menu item or
setting is currently selected. Texts displayed at the
bottom of the screen immediately above the
individual function keys show which functions are
currently available.
If no special functions are assigned to the keys, no
texts are displayed on the screen above them. The
following default functions then apply:
Quit the current menu item and return to

the menu above without saving any
changes or settings which have been made.
Call up the previous menu item.
Call up the next menu item.
Select the menu item displayed or confirm
the changes or settings.
In principle the function keys can be used to select individual menu items, navigate within menus
and edit settings. However, the jog dial can be used as an alternative. Turning the jog dial to the
left has the same effect as pressing the F2 key (), while turning the jog dial to the right has the
same effect as pressing the F3 key (). Pressing the jog dial has the same effect as pressing the
F4 key (OK).
In the Remote operating mode, the ARTES testing software is used to control the test instrument.
The values set in the software are automatically regulated by the system.
