Revision 11, 2014-02-21 Page 5(143)
The testing methods used in this program follows established industrial standard.
The users can create their own switch types with bounded test performance, measure condition, and functional
values for different working pressure and protocol layouts. The users can also create their own general input
data, manually measured data and checks in a "test profile” All set-up data are stored in an ACCESS- or a SQL-
database.
Both analogue and pulse transducers with linear or rotated movement can be used for contact travel curves.
Tables for conversion of rotated movement into linear movement can be configured and used.
The program can handle three poles with four main contacts with four contacts for pre-insertion resistors in each
pole and three separate mechanisms with four auxiliary contacts at the same time. Data acquisition of up to 36
contact curves, three travel curves and a coil current curve can be made and displayed at the same time.
The following operations can be made:

* Measuring device FSU10 is needed.
Additional investigation after an operation is done with the zoom and cursor functions.
Re-calculation of curve parameters with new measure conditions can also be done.
There is a separate analysis function for curve filtering, showing speed curves and acceleration curves and
selecting a reference curve for comparison.
Storing of test results are done in an MS-ACCESS or in a SQL database.
Service and calibration functions make it easy to check and calibrate the control units and power units. A
calibration wizard guides the user through the calibration procedure.

After a connection is established (or work offline) the software try to open the last used database.
If no valid database is found the database management function will be displayed.
For more information about creating and setting up a database.

See chapter 7.10 Function Database.
If the database is accessed for the first time with your login or a new database is created the program need
some user information.
Type your full name in the textbox “Full Name”
Type your short signature or another

identification number in the text box “Stamp”
Note! This “Stamp” is normally used as a label for

check boxes in a test.
Press button “Next”
This box give you the possibility (optional) to add a

scanned signature that for example can be used at
protocol printouts.
Press “Finish” to confirm your user information.
Revision 11, 2014-02-21 Page 11(143)
If the BTS11 software is used for the first time it also needed information about what “Units” to use.
There are 3 predefined sets of units: “EU Units”, “US Units” and “SI-units”
These predefined unit sets cannot be changed.
You can also create your own “Unit set” by pressing the command button “New”
See chapter 7.13 Function “Units” for more information.
Select a Unit set in the combo box.

Press “OK” to confirm.

for test (contact measurements).
See chapter 3.2 Quick Test (Field
test equipment’s SAXX only).
3.2 Quick Test (Field test equipment’s SAXX only)

The Quick test is designed to give the user the opportunity to just make an operation and see the contact curves
without setting up limits, checking voltages or depend on switch type.
This is only for contact measurement and it assumes the following switch configuration:
- Three phases
- One main contact/phase
- One spring mechanism charge by a motor device.
Revision 11, 2014-02-21 Page 12(143)
The program will assume that the user have connected the test equipment to the breaker properly, and
connected all the necessary voltages.
For details on this see SA10 Getting Started Manual
The different available settings are still possible to change and alter.
For detailed instructions see chapter 5.4 Test Window.

to pre-set connections for all 3 groups. Pre-set for 3-phase operation with one mechanism/phase, four main
contacts/phase and four pre-insertion contacts/phase.
Note!
Input “c” and “d” is not
available on the control
unit SA10
Using control unit SA5:
