VOLTCRAFT DMA-1L 16 Measuring Adapter Instruction Manual

VOLTCRAFT DMA-1L 16 Measuring Adapter

Operating Instructions

Item No. 2435658

Intended use

The prodycr provides a safe and easy way to measure the AC current of plug-in appliances and other electrical devices.
The measuring adapter is inserted between the electrical consumer and the socket.
The measuring adapter may only be used in the range of the overvoltage category CAT III in AC voltage networks with a nominal voltage of max. 250 V/AC which are fused with 16 A. Only use the measuring adapter for the duration of the measurement. A permanent retention in the mains cable circuit is not permitted.
The measuring operation is only permitted in dry surroundings. For safety and approval purposes, you must not rebuild and/or modify this product. If you use the product for purposes other than those described above, the product may be damaged. In addition, improper use can result in short circuits, fires, electric shocks or other hazards. Read the instructions carefully and store them in a safe place. Make this product available to third parties only together with its operating instructions. This product complies with the statutory national and European requirements. All company names and product names are trademarks of their respective owners. All rights reserved.

Explanation of symbols

The symbol with the lightning in the triangle is used if there is a risk to your health, e.g. due to an electric shock. The symbol with the exclamation mark in the triangle is used to indicate important information in these operating instructions. Always read this information carefully.

Safety instructions

Read the operating instructions carefully and especially observe the safety information. If you do not follow the safety instructions and information on proper handling in this manual, we assume no liability for any resulting per- sonal injury or damage to property. Such cases will invalidate the warranty/guarantee.

General information

• The device is not a toy. Keep it out of the reach of children and pets.
• Do not leave packaging material lying around carelessly. This may become dan-gerous playing material for children.
• Protect the appliance from extreme temperatures, direct sunlight, strong jolts, high humidity, moisture, flammable gases, steam and solvents.
• Do not place the product under any mechanical stress.
• If it is no longer possible to operate the product safely, take it out of operation and protect it from any accidental use. Safe operation can no longer be guaranteed if the product:
  • is visibly damaged,
  • is no longer working properly,
  • has been stored for extended periods in poor ambient conditions or
  • has been subjected to any serious transport-related stresses.
• Please handle the product carefully. Jolts, impacts or a fall even from a low height can damage the product.
• Consult an expert when in doubt about the operation, safety or connection of the appliance.
• Maintenance, modifications and repairs must only be completed by a technician or an authorised repair centre.
• If you have questions which remain unanswered by these operating instructions, contact our technical support service or other technical personnel.

Connected devices

Also observe the safety and operating instructions of any other devices which are connected to the product.

Product

• The measuring adapter and the plugs may not be disassembled.
• The voltage and current range specified should not be exceeded.
• The measuring adapter may only be used for current and voltage measurement.
• The user is not allowed to put other items than suitable safety measuring cables in the sockets
• Current measurement on the measurement sockets is not possible (an attempt would short-circuit the device)!
• The user may not short-circuit the contacts of the measuring adapter.

Operating elements

1. Plug

2. Current measuring ring: X10 3

3. Current measuring ring: X1

4. Voltage measurement inputs:
   L-N, L-PE, N-PE

5. Socket

Operation

The current is measured with commercial AC current clamps on the insulated meas-uring chambers and the voltage is measured with voltage measuring devices on the measuring so-ckets. Both types of measurement can be carried out at the same time. Only use the meas-uring adapter for the duration of the measurement. A permanent retention in the mains cable circuit is not permitted.Overvoltage category III for measurements on electric and electronic devices connected to the mains supply with a mains plug. This category also covers all lower categories (e.g. CAT I for measuring signal and control voltages).

Line current measurement

1.  Connect the plug to a 230V AC mains socket.
2. Connect the main cable of the load to the socket plug.
3. Put the clamp around the AX1 or AX10 rings and switch the load on
4. Read the value of line current in the AX1 ring or divide by 10 the value of current read in the AX10 ring.

Voltage and power measurement

The ground wire (PE) is used as protection wire.Measure the voltage difference between N and PE to check whether the grounding is in good condition or not .

1. Connect the plug to a 230V AC mains socket.
2. Connect the main cable of the load to the socket plug.
3. Put a power clamp around the AX1 ring and the clamp’s test leads in the V inputs of the instrument then switch the load power on.
4. Read the correspondent values of current, voltage and absorbed power of the connected load.

Care and cleaning

• Apart from the occasional cleaning the adapter is maintenance free.
• Disconnect the product from the mains before each cleaning.
• Do not use any aggressive cleaning agents, rubbing alcohol or other chemical solutions as they can cause damage to the housing and malfunctioning.
• Clean the product with a dry, fibre-free cloth.

Disposal

Electronic devices are recyclable waste and must not be disposed of in the house-hold waste. At the end of its service life, dispose of the product in accordance with applicable regulatory guidelines. You thus fulfill your statutory obligations and contribute to the protection of the envi-ronment.
