The TS23 as a tester of electricity meters and instrument transformers

Testing of electricity meters (DUT – Device Under Test) directly on site or in laboratory may be realized in
different situations:
• voltage and current circuits of the DUT are powered from power net – in this case the TS23 is used as a
reference standard in manual operation mode,
• voltage and current circuits of the DUT are powered from external source (like C300B calibrator or TS33 /
TS41 automatic test system) – in this case the TS23 is used as reference standard at load point forced by
source,

• calculating meter error (partial errors,
average error, standard deviation) directly
in [%] with method of settings time of
measurement or number of pulses,
• measuring energy for verification of meter

The TS23 – data management, PC Software, general parameters and accessories

Data Management. The operator can store all measurements and test results in a modern SD memory card up
to 32GB, for later visualization in LCD and printing directly from the TS23 using a wireless printer without the
need of an external PC and putting the SD card into it.
The data management software TS PC Soft provides the ability to transfer the data between TS23 and an external
PC. All results can be summarized and printed in a test report by putting the SD card into an external PC or
downloaded through USB, Bluetooth or Ethernet.

The TS PC Soft software additionally provides the ability to manage data on an external PC or tablet:
• downloading of measurement results from the TS23 to a PC through communication port,
• archiving of measurement results and combining individual results into one collective file,
