SHORT FOREWORD
I often wondered why the user’s manual is not very much used,
even if it includes valuable information. As me too I am a user of
such manuals, the answer I have given myself is that valuable
information are concealed somewhere in the thick thing, and I do
not have time to waste to find it. So, either the manual is
actually of help, or I ignore it.

1 INTRODUCTION
The following is the front panel; all components on the front, and
the key ones inside the test set, are listed here below (see also
the DRTS 6 schematic at the end of the manual).
The round connector (19) hosts the zero power signals, and
signals for the buffers control.
Of these points, the first two are very hazardous, both for the
user and the test set. THESE TYPES OF FAULT ARE NOT
COVERED BY THE WARRANTY.
Doc. MIE12156 Rev. 10 Page 15/166
The second hazard does not apply if the relay to be tested is not
connected to the plant. If, instead, the connection to the relay is
performed by means of a test connector (or directly to terminal
blocks), the operator must be sure to interrupt the connection to
the V.T. secondary and to the ground. This is normally true;
however, we experienced some instance were this was not
performed.
Doc. MIE12156 Rev. 10 Page 16/166
2.3 Power-on
You should connect the test set to ground, via the yellow socket
on the front and the cable with crocodile provided: any metal
frame (heating, water, windows..) provides a sufficient
grounding path.
If you press OK, the message is repeated four times; after the
last one, the following message is displayed:
- At the end of this test, all lights are turned on and off.
- At the end of this test, all lights are turned on and off.
- At the end of this test, all lights are turned on and off.
- Last, the microprocessor tests the FLASH EPROM, with its CRC
code. In case of error, it turns on lights ON; ! and ERR.
- This is the last test of logic circuits ; next steps refer to analog
circuits. The following table summarizes logic errors.
- Next step is the test of DAC’s that generate low power signals
to be fed into current and voltage amplifiers. First test is zero
voltage output; next maximum voltage; next minimum voltage.
During this test outputs are inhibited: no output is generated by
the instrument.
- Other errors cause the ERR light to turn on; they are also
reported to the P.C. with the corresponding error message.
During this last session, the four LED’s blink in pairs. At the end
of diagnostics, the green light OK turns on: this confirms that the
microprocessor operates correctly. If there is a fault sensed on
an amplifier (current, AC voltage, DC voltage), you have the two
lights: OK and ! turned on, plus the buzzer beeping. In this
situation, you can connect your PC and start the test program: it
will display you the code message telling which one is the faulty
amplifier. In order to proceed, please go to the Troubleshooting
chapter.

In this type of connection, the device under test has only three
inputs, not four; so, only current phase outputs are connected,
and not the neutral.
Doc. MIE12156 Rev. 10 Page 27/166
The test can be started only if the three currents are equal in
value, and phase shifted by 120°; else, the test set would
immediately generate an over-load fault alarm. If currents are
the same, our test sets are so good that each current closes its
path on the other two, and no alarm is generated.
PAV includes a selector for the case that the 300 Option is
available. Before starting the test, set the switch according to
the voltage output.
Before test start and when the voltage is zero the output is open.
If a counter-feed voltage is erroneously connected the error is
sensed and reported on the test program as counter-feed on DC
supply. The voltage must be removed for the test to continue.

Threshold voltage is the same for all contacts of the same group;
the thresholds of the two groups can be independently set.
At sockets (7) are available the count inputs IMP1 and IMP2, that
serve to test energy meters. The threshold level of these inputs
is the respectively same of inputs C1-C4 and of inputs C5-C8,
but there is no de-bounce.
Input IMP1 has the same common of C1-C4; input IMP2 has the
same common of C5-C8.
When you mount the scanning head, the emitting LED’s should
be on the same "level" of the rotating disk. In order to check if
SHA is detecting, you have to turn ON the SHA (a green light will
illuminate the energy meter ) and check if the LED blinks when
the energy meter wheel tag (black or red, NOT GREEN OR BLUE)
is passing through the SHA detector (of course the energy meter
must be energized, so the wheel is running).
IMPORTANT NOTE
Some energy meters have the following internal connection (3-
pin).
Doc. MIE12156 Rev. 10 Page 38/166
These outputs are relay, that can be operated via software; relay
operation can be timed with respect to currents and voltages.
The relay under test is connected to sockets (12), either on
Normal Closed or Normal Open contact.
These inputs are used only if the optional MISU board has been
installed. Connect converter inputs to DRTS 6 current and
voltage outputs, and converter output to the measurement
input. Start the manual or automatic test and verify the error of
the converter.
NOTE: if you have a test set with only the RS232 connector and
the PC has only an USB interface, use an USB to RS232
converter. Our suggestion is to use the converter manufactured
by MAXTRO, type UC-232A.
Before test start the test set checks voltage output sockets. If a
voltage greater than 10 V is detected, the PC gives a
message of counter-feed on voltage outputs: this avoids
connecting test set’s output voltage to a live wire. In this
instance, remove the voltage before proceeding.

If the red ! LED turns on (and a buzzer is heard) during the test,
it alerts about the following problems:
. Error on a voltage output, usually an overload.
. Error on a current output, usually an overload (including the
open circuit).
. Over-temperature sensed on a voltage or current amplifier.
The PC gives a message that helps selecting the type of fault.
Usually, it is sufficient to correct the load and start over
again. In case of over-temperature, go to zero with the
outputs and start over again after some minute. Other faults
have an internal origin: try again, and, if it does not disappear,
it is necessary to repair the instrument. Appendix 4 lists error
codes, and the corresponding fault area.
Other logic errors can turn on the ERR LED of the DRTS 6. The
error message explains which kind of error has been sensed. If
the error is in the connection area, check the connection cable
(see appendix 2).
2.7 Power-off
After all tests have been performed, set all outputs to zero,
remove all relay connections and power-off the test set. Do not

4 TROUBLESHOOTING
4.1 Introduction
Please mention in your e-mail how did the fault occur: this
serves us for our continuous improvement program. In all
instances, after replacement of the faulty board or module, it
should immediately be returned to the agent or to ISA.
Last, our experience is that our test sets withstand very heavy
duty cycles for long wiles, if correctly used; most problems arise
because of the problems that you have found listed in the former
paragraph: please read it!
There are many types of faults: this chapter refers to the most
common ones. The message displayed by the program (unless
when the unit cannot be powered on) tells you the faulty area;
so, paragraphs are divided According to the type of fault.
To open the test set (please refer to the what’s inside chapter):
. Remove screws on the rear;
. Remove the two protection lids, and the grounding wire;
. Remove the four nuts on the corner that keep the front panel;
. Remove the two screws on the front;
. Shifting the front panel you can access the screws that lock the
frame to the side panels: unscrew them;
. Now you can remove the frame. If necessary, remove the
aluminium sheet that keeps boards in place, and un-tighten the
two nuts: you can remove boards, after having removed the
corresponding connectors.
If there is a connector out of its place, fit it into its position and
power-on again.
To restore the test set, set the board, and then repeat the same
steps, tightening the rod so that boards are not free to move.
2. Once you are sure that boards are in place, power-on the test
set, and upgrade the resident program to the latest revision.
In particular, if you have just received the latest issue of the
TDMS software and some function does not operate correctly, it
is possible that this is caused by the DRTS 6 resident program
(firmware). In this situation:
- execute the test program, select INFO and read the firmware
revision number;
- visit out website: www.isatest.com and verify the actual
revision number for your instrument. If it does coincide, please
get in touch with your agent, otherwise follow the instructions to
download it from the website;
Doc. MIE12156 Rev. 10 Page 67/166
4. Open the test set and clean carefully from dust the fan
filters and all the inside of the test set. In some sites (like mines)
the air is very much polluted of conductive dust: we once
occurred a case of a test set that did not work any more because
of this. After cleaning, it recovered its operation.
Then, check that screws are tight. Last, check the connectors:
they should be firmly fit.
5.1. The first modification reduces the voltage drop along the +
5 V supply, and solves the problem of random reset of the
microprocessor, caused by low supply.
. Look at the rear of the test set: there are two back panels. The
one to the left, PWA11390, carries power supply modules; the
one to the right, PWA11371, carries the control boards. On the
left back panel locate the pins corresponding to connector J821;
on the right back panel locate the pins corresponding to
connector J832. Using wires with a cross section of 0.5 sq. mm,
connect: J821 16-17 to J832-31 ABC, and J821 14-15 to J832-32
ABC. NOTE: the picture below shows only the two modification
wires.
Doc. MIE12156 Rev. 10 Page 68/166
5.3. The third modification helps grounding the test set if the
ground connection is missing. It is necessary to drill a hole in the
front panel; after this, put on the label and screw the socket,
that shall be connected to the ground of the mains supply
socket.
When the unit cannot be powered-on, first of all check the fuse,
that is incorporated in the power supply pug, into the small
drawer. If the fuse is OK, the cause is most likely located in the
front-end board PWA11386, that is the rightmost one looking
from the front.
If the test set does not operate at any power supply, proceed as
follows. On AMCO amplifiers are located two LED’s that turn on
when the amplifier is powered. The first test is to verify if only
one of the modules is failing, or both. Open the unit, power on
and check for these lights.
If I3-I6 is on and the other two are OFF, also the microprocessor
and fans are off (case 1).
If you see the light on the I1-I4 and I2-I5, but not on the I3-I6
amplifier, the test set starts and communicates the diagnostic
error (case 2).
In both instances, there is a risk that the fault has been caused
by a fault on current amplifiers or DC module for the first one, or
by the current amplifier or voltage amplifier supply for the other
one. For this reason, proceed as follows:
. Case 1. Remove the green connector from amplifiers I1-I4 and
I2-I5, and from the DC voltage module. Power-on, and measure
Doc. MIE12156 Rev. 10 Page 76/166
If the test set does not proceed, very likely an auxiliary supply is
missing. To verify this, proceed as follows:
. Open the test set, and remove the rear protection.
. To the left, there is the power back panel, with three boards
connected: the front-end, the ALIAUX, and the power supply
module. The following picture shows the board; the table lists all
voltages that should be measured on the pins of the first
connector to the left.

. If this is not enough, extract also the CONV board: also it can
be the cause of the fault.
If the fault persists with all boards removed, then the ALIAUX
power supply module needs to be replaced.
2. Fault on V4 can be
ignored.
3. Amplifiers will be left
connected.
DC VOLTAGE 1. The fault can be ignored.
2. The module should be
disconnected.
OTHER FAULTS
4.6.1. Overload
Doc. MIE12156 Rev. 10 Page 81/166
1. Starting from July, 2007 (test set no. 14500), we have added
a protection to current outputs, made of a set of relays, put in
series to the current output. If, by error, current outputs are
connected to live wires (counter-feed), current output sockets
are not connected to current amplifiers, and this protects the
test set. In this situation, if you try to generate an output,
you will have an over-load alarm. Please, check that there is
no voltage applied to output sockets.
NOTE: if the live wire is connected after power-on, the protection
is reduced, but relays will immediately open.
2. The load is not too much for the test set; please refer to the
relay connection paragraph. The first check is to measure the
voltage drop across the load: if it is more than 6 V, the
intervention is normal. To know the load impedance it is enough
to inject a low current, say 1 A or less if necessary, and measure
the voltage on the output sockets: if the ratio V/I is greater than
the given value, there is an overload and the error raised is
appropriate. Another check is to short-circuit the current output
and retry generating the current: if there is no overload
message, maybe that the load is too high. In this situation,
reduce the current and try again.
A: actual fault.
. Power-on the test set. On AMCO boards are located two red
LED’s in the center of the board. For normal operation they must
be ON: if one or both is OFF, this means that there is a fault
either to the DC to DC converter module, or to the power
MOSFET. In alternative, it can be caused by the missing of the
300 V supply on the green connector, or by the missing of the
ENABLE signal, still on the green connector. You should have 300
V between pins 2 (negative) and 1 of the green connector, and
about 12 V between pins 2 and 3 (ENABLE). If you don't, also
voltage generators should be not operational, and the fault is in
the FRONT-END board: see the procedure in paragraph 3.3.
If you have the supply but LED’s don’t turn on, then the amplifier
is faulty, and should be replaced: remove it and use FAULT
RECOVERY in order to continue the work.
NOTE: on the board are also located three green LED’s, that
signal the selected output. The inner one corresponds to I1-I4;
the second one to I2-I5; the external one to I3-I6. There must
be only one LED turned on, corresponding to the output at which
is connected; else, the switch setting is wrong.
Besides, on units having serial number more than 12876, we use
a new version of the current amplifier, where:
.. All LED’s are of the surface mount type, and the color is red;
.. There is a sixth LED, on the centre and on the edge, signalling
that the local microprocessor is OK. If it is turned off, either an
auxiliary voltage is missing, what is signalled by the PC, or the
board must be replaced.
To fix the problem you should replace the faulty AMCO board.
Before doing it, please check the amplifier as follows.
You have to know that all AMCO amplifiers are identical; in order
to select the different positions (I1-I4, I2-I5, I3-I6), we use the
set of DIP-switches that you can note on the board.
The selection is performed the following way:
. There are three groups of eight DIP-switches;
. The selection is performed setting ON all switches of one group,
and OFF the other two groups;
. The group marked SW1, located towards the center of the
board, selects I1-I4; SW2 selects I2-I5; SW3 selects I3-I6.
If DIP switches are not correctly set, please correct and proceed.
If you don’t, there will be no output at the selected position, and
two outputs on the position set by switches.
. Withdraw the faulty AMCO and replace it with the new one.
. Replace connections.

V); 167 (- 460 V).
Doc. MIE12156 Rev. 10 Page 85/166
. Open DRTS 6.
. Locate the AMTE amplifier; there are two equal AMTE boards:
the left one generates V1 and V2; the right one V3 and V4.
. Remove connectors from one amplifier: a bigger, green one, on
the front; one DIP-type above; another one, DIP-type, below.
. Protect flat-cable connectors so that pin cannot touch any
conductive part.
. Power-on and check if the power supply error message is still
there.
Doc. MIE12156 Rev. 10 Page 86/166
. Open DRTS 6.
. The DC voltage supply module is located to the left, when
looking from the front.
. Remove the two connectors (green and 8-pin flat cable); isolate
them so that they cannot touch any metal part.
. Power-on: the fault does not appear any more; the DC supply
does not operate.
. First of all, check for the cables going to the module. There are
two different types of modules (see sketches). On module one,
the 8-way flat cable comes out upwards; on module 2, the flat
cable must leave the connector on the left. On the other side,
verify that the 8-way cable is fit into its connector, leaving the
board upwards. You should temporarily remove the connector,
verify that all pins are straight, and fit the connector back into
position:
. Next, on module one there is a fuse, rated F3.15A: check it; if
it is open, replace it and try again.
. Observe now the green connector: it has 6 screws carrying
wires. The screw closest to the front is number 6: it carries the
earth connection. Power-on, and measure that between screws 4
(zero) and 5 there are 300 V DC. TAKE CARE BECAUSE THIS
VOLTAGE IS CONNECTED TO THE MAINS. If 300 V are there,
the module should operate.
. On module one there is a fan. Power-on and verify if it is
rotating: if not, the fault is on the module, that should be
replaced.
. If the fan is rotating (for module one), and at any rate on
module two, last test is to verify if the module is blocked by a
wrong command coming from the front-end board, and that is
located at screw n. 3. Remove this wire by unscrewing it, and
ISOLATE IT AS IT IS CONNECTED TO THE MAINS. Power-on
and verify if the DC voltage is generated: if so, the front-end
board PWA has to be replaced.
Doc. MIE12156 Rev. 10 Page 90/166
. Open DRTS 6.
. Verify for connectors out of place.
. If everything is OK, power-on the unit and measure the voltage
between C of group 1 and C1, C2, C3, C4: there should be – 12
V (the same between the other C and C5 to C8).
. Now select contacts with voltage: the voltage will disappear:
this confirms that INTE is OK; else it is faulty.

SOCKET C C1 C2 C3 C4
PIN 14 8 9 10 11
First of all, verify that wires are soldered. If so, measure the
voltage between 0C1 and 30C1, and also between 0C5 and
30C5: it should be 30 V DC. Verify also that on INTE there are 30
V between A30 and C30 (C1-C4), and between A27 and C27
(C5-C8).
If the voltage is there, there is a fault in the INTE board; if it is
missing, there is a fault in the ALIAUX.6 board.
Doc. MIE12156 Rev. 10 Page 92/166
If after power-on the test set is powered, but control LED’s are
not in the standard configuration (ON turned on; the other ones
off), or if it is impossible to connect the test set to the PC, it is
possible that the fault is located in the microprocessor control
board.
. Open DRTS 6.
. Locate the MICR board: it is the second leftmost, looking from
the front. It is connected to another board, PASSIVA, with the
connector on the front.
. On the MICR-H board are mounted two LED’s: they are located
in proximity of the rear of DRTS 6. These LED’s should turn on as
the test set is powered on, and should turn off about one second
after power-on: this confirms that the two programmable logic
arrays we have on the board have been programmed; usually,
this confirms that the MICR board is operational. If LED’s don’t
turn off, at 90% of confidence the MICR board is broken, and
should be replaced. The alternative to MICR is that the + 5 V
auxiliary supply is low: as a consequence, the microprocessor is
on hold. In this instance, apply the modification explained
before.
If you move these switches towards the edge of the board you
set them ON; otherwise they are OFF.

With the instrument should come the mains supply cable, the
RS232 and the USB interface cables and all cables that serve to
connect modules (boosters). The user’s manual originally
delivered with the test set is not necessary.
Cover the instrument itself with a polyester film, in order to
protect it against dust and foam.
The instrument should be protected by anti-shock foam having a
minimum thickness of 5 cm ON ALL SIDES.
Use a new carton box as a container. On the box apply the UP
and the FRAGILE labels.
In the box the instrument will be placed horizontal or standing;
not upside down.
If the set is heavier than 20 kg it is better to use also a pallet:
this ensures that the box will not be packed upside down.

Last but not least, do not declare an high value for customs: this
expedites clearance of the good and lowers fees.

5 SPECIAL SITUATIONS
If the customer wishes to add the MISU option, he can ask ISA
the upgrade kit, and add it by himself, with the following
instructions.
. Open DRTS 6.
. Unscrew the front panel by removing the two screws on the
front and the four nuts on the corners, so that it can be lowered.
. On the rear of front panel, between and below the sockets,
stick the isolating stripes provided: this serves to guarantee the
isolation level.
. Fit the MISU board into the socket connections. Between the
MISU components and the panel leave a space of about 1 mm;
do not press against the isolation stick, as they could be
damaged. Solder MISU in this position.
4) MISU calibration.
. Open DRTS 6.
. Remove the voltage supply module.
. Remove connections to AMTE voltage amplifiers and remove
the amplifiers.
. Remove also connections to AMCO current amplifiers I2-I5 and
I3-I6, and remove amplifiers. Mark them as they cannot be
exchanged.
. Next problem is that we have to modify the position of guides
for the two AMCO and AMTE 1-2, else the two AMTE would not
fit. The following is the sketch of guide positions as you will find
them, and of new guide positioning.

The test set must be instructed that the maximum voltage is 300
V rather than 125 V; this is obtained by modifying the switch
setting on MICR board.
For the switches, the ON position is towards the board edge; OFF
is towards inside. The setting you will find is the following.
SWITCH 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
SETTING ON ON ON ON OFF ON ON ON ON ON
Now press switch no. 4 towards the inside of the board, so that it
goes to OFF position. The final setting is the following.
SWITCH 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
SETTING ON ON ON OF OF ON ON ON ON ON

NOTE: if you do not feel safe to operate this way, you can
dismount MICR to perform it. In this instance, please consider
that:
. MICR and PASS boards are screwed together: the must be
removed together, this takes a certain amount of force. Same
force is to be used when fitting them back;
. On PASS is soldered a yellow/green wire that is screwed to the
frame; unscrew it for the dismount;
. PASS hosts two flat cables; they must be fit prior to insert back
the two boards.
Test sets after S/N 12000 have both the RS232 and the USB
interface; older units have only the RS232 interface. It is
impossible to modify older units so that they have both
interfaces; however, if the customer wishes it, it is possible to
modify older units so that they have the USB interface instead of
the RS232 one. In this instance, the customer can send the test
set to ISA for the modification, or can ask ISA the upgrade kit,
and perform the change by himself, with the following
instructions.
NOTE: If the firmware is not after 6.94, the use of new boards
causes a diagnostic error on the 12 V supply. In this instance:
. Remove the flat cable between boards;
. Download the new firmware;
. Set back the flat cable: the diagnostic error disappears.

6 FUNCTIONAL TEST
6.1 Introduction
. Start the test: all timers will display a trip time between 4 and
11 ms; this is the delay of relay A1;
. Modify at will the delay of A1: trip delays will be equal to the
programmed time, plus the delay of the relay itself;
. Connect now C1-C8 to the Closed contact of A1: all lights will
turn on. Go to the healthy values and select all trip inputs as
Normal Closed;
. Repeat the test with different delays of A1: the result will be
the same as Normal Open;
. Repeat the procedure with A2, A3, A4: by this also auxiliary
outputs are tested.
Errors on this area can be solved only with a repair intervention
on the unit.
. Start the test: all timers will display a trip time between 4 and
11 ms; this is the delay of relay A1.
. On fault values, select the trip voltage of 100 V;
. Start the test: all timers will display no trip;
. Now, increase the DC voltage to 80 V;
. Start the test: all timers will display a trip time between 4 and
11 ms; this is the delay of relay A1.
2. The timer input can be taken from the auxiliary output A1.
. Connect the C contact of A1 to the C contact of group 1, and
the NO contact of A1 to C1.
. Program the test of voltage free contacts.
. Program the de-bounce equal to zero.
. Connect C and C1 to channel 2 of the oscilloscope (NOTE: with
the contact OPEN the voltage is about – 13 V; with the contact
CLOSED the voltage is zero).
. The time lag between V1 and C1 is the actual time delay, to be
compared with the measurement performed by the test set.

10 GPS OPTION
10.1 Introduction
The GPS option has the purpose to allow testing the following
relays:
. Distance relays connected with permissive or blocking
schemes;
. Line differential.
For the test are requested two test sets in distant sites, and the
possibility to simulate faults at the meantime on both
instruments. In the first instance the timing error can be in the
range of some millisecond; for the second one, the maximum
timing error is 100 us.
(hh; mm; 0”; hh; mm; 30“; hh; mm+1; 0“; hh; mm+1; 30“...).
The operators at both sites should connect first GPS to the mains
by the plug (1): the 1 pps light starts turning on, thus assuring
that GPS is operational.
Doc. MIE12156 Rev. 10 Page 123/166
TEST SETUP
When the two DRTS 6 sense the first pulse they execute the first
test at the meantime, and provide the first test result. Pressing
test START on PC again the second test can be initiated, and so
on until all tests are over. START commands cannot be
contemporary; they should be provided before the next
synchronization impulse.

11.1 Introduction
11.3.1 Power-on
Before executing the test with AMIV-66 check that the burdens
of the relay under test are compatible with the maximum load.
To this purpose, it is necessary to compare the burden declared
by the manufacturer to the maximum load.
In this instance, the relay under test needs six voltages: four
voltages will be connected to DRTS 6; the remaining two to AMV-
66, as follows.

The option is made of a plug that fits into the mains, and that
has two banana sockets for the connection to the test set
counting input. The purpose is to synchronize the outputs of two
test sets to the mains: as the synchronisation is repeated every
2 minutes, the test set stays locked to the mains for the infinity.
