Definition of Measurement Categories (CAT)

• CAT IV corresponds to measurements performed at the primary electrical supply (<1000 V).
  Example: primary overcurrent protection devices, ripple control units, and meters.

• CAT III corresponds to measurements performed in the building installation at the distribution level.
  Example: hardwired equipment in fixed installation and circuit breakers.

• CAT II corresponds to measurements performed on circuits directly connected to the electrical distribution system.
  Example: measurements on household appliances and portable tools.

PRECAUTIONS FOR USE

For personal safety and for the safety of the environment of use, you must read and comply with the precautions for use. If you do not comply with these safety instructions, there is a risk of electric shock, explosion, or fire. If you use the instrument in an unspecified manner or do not observe elementary safety rules, the protection that they provide could be compromised and endanger you.

This instrument complies with safety standard IEC/EN 61010-1 and the leads are compliant with IEC/EN 61010-031, for voltages up to 1,000 V in overvoltage category IV. The protection provided by the instrument may be impaired if it is used other than as specified by the manufacturer.

• Comply with the rated maximum voltage and current and the overvoltage category.
• Never exceed the protection limits stated in the specifications (§ 4.2).
• Observe the environmental conditions of use (§ 4.3).
• Use only the leads and accessories supplied. The use of leads (or accessories) of a lower voltage or category limits the voltage or category of the combined instrument and leads (or accessories) to that of the leads (or accessories).
• Before each use, check the condition of the insulation for the cables, case, and accessories—anything that appears damaged (even partially) must be reported for repair or scrapping.
• Do not expose the housing to a source of heat or to direct sunlight. Let air flow freely around it to ensure sufficient cooling.
• When handling the alligator clips, keep your fingers behind the physical guard.
• Use protective equipment when required.
• Do not modify the instrument and use only original replacement parts. Repairs or adjustments must be performed by authorized personnel.
• If hazardous voltages are present at the location of measurement, use suitable personal protective equipment.

RECEIVING YOUR SHIPMENT

PRODUCT FEATURES

DESCRIPTION
The PA32ER power adapter and battery charger are used to power the attached instrument for long-term applications and thereby optimize the instrument’s internal battery. It also serves to recharge the battery.
The power supply may come from the measurement source or from the wall plug.

OVERALL VIEW

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

POWER FROM THE MEASUREMENT SOURCE
Using the leads provided and alligator clips, connect the adapter to a line voltage. Either between a phase (L1, L2, or L3) and neutral or between 2 phases.

In the image above, the adapter is connected between the neutral (N) and phase L1.

• Open the elastomer cap and connect the 4-point connector to the external power supply input of the instrument.

The indicator light on the front of the adapter displays:

• A steady green when the power is on
• A steady orange when the battery is charging
• If it blinks, the battery is missing and the instrument is powered by the external power supply alone.

CHARGE DIRECTLY FROM THE WALL PLUG

1. Connect the adapter banana plug to the PA32ER power adapter.
2. Connect the plug adapter cord between the adapter and the power socket.
3. Open the elastomer cap on the instrument and connect the 4-point connector of the power supply to the instrument.

The indicator light on the front of the adapter displays:

• A steady green when the power is on
• A steady orange when the battery is charging
• If it blinks, the battery is missing and the instrument is powered by the external power supply alone.
