Safety Instructions

Observe this documentation, in particular all included safety information, in order to protect yourself and others from injury, and to prevent damage to the instrument.
These condensed operating instructions and the detailed operating instructions should be made available to all users.
General

• Tests/measurements may only be performed by a qualified electrician, or under the supervision and direction of a qualified electrician. The user must be instructed by a qualified electrician concerning performance and evaluation of the tests/measurements.
• Observe the five safety rules in accordance with DIN VDE 0105-100:2015-10, VDE 0105-100:2015-10, Operation of electrical installations – Part 100: General requirements (1. Shut down entirely. 2. Secure against restart. 3. Assure absence of voltage at all poles. 4. Ground and short circuit. 5. Cover neighbouring live components, or cordon them off.)
• Observe and comply with all safety regulations which are applicable for your work environment.
• Wear suitable and appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) whenever working with the instrument.
• The functioning of active medical devices (e.g. pacemakers, defibrillators) and passive medical devices may be affected by voltages, currents and electromagnetic fields generated by theinstrument and the health of their users may be impaired. Implement corresponding protective measures in consultation with the manufacturer of the medical device and your physician.If any potential risk cannot be ruled out, do not use the instrument.

Accessories

• Use only the specified accessories (included in the scope of delivery or listed as options) with the instrument.
• Carefully and completely read and adhere to the product documentation for optional accessories. Retain these documents for future reference.

Handling

• Use the instrument in undamaged condition only. Inspect the instrument before use. Pay particular attention to damage, interrupted insulation or kinked cables. Damaged components must be replaced immediately.
• Accessories and cables may only be used as long as they’re fully intact. Inspect accessories and all cables before use. Pay particular attention to damage, interrupted insulation or kinked cables.
• If the instrument or its accessories don’t function flawlessly, permanently remove the instrument/accessories from operation and secure them against inadvertent use.
• If the instrument or accessories are damaged during use, for example if they’re dropped, permanently remove the instrument/accessories from operation and secure them against inadvertent use.
• The instrument and the accessories may only be used for the tests/measurements described in the documentation for the instrument.
• The integrated voltage measuring function and mains check may not be used to test systems or system components for the absence of voltage. Testing for the absence of voltage is only permissible with a suitable voltage tester or voltage measuring system which fulfills the requirements specified in DIN EN 61243.

Operating conditions

• Do not use the instrument and its accessories after long periods of storage under unfavorable conditions (e.g. humidity, dust or extreme temperature).
• Do not use the instrument and its accessories after extraordinary stressing due to transport.
• The instrument must not be exposed to direct sunlight.
• Only use the instrument and its accessories within the limits of the specified technical data and conditions (ambient conditions, IP protection code, measuring category etc.).
• Do not use the instrument in potentially explosive atmospheres.

Rechargeable batteries

• If the charger is used, only the rechargeable battery pack (Z502H/Z502O) may be fitted in the instrument.

• Do not use the instrument while the rechargeable battery pack (Z502H/Z502O) is being charged.

• Do not use the instrument if the battery compartment cover has been removed.
  Touch contact with dangerous voltages is otherwise possible.

• The rechargeable battery pack (Z502H/Z502O) may only be charged in undamaged condition.
  Inspect the rechargeable battery pack (Z502H/Z502O) before use. Pay particular attention to leaky and damaged batteries.

Fuses

• The instrument is equipped with fuses. The instrument may only be used as long as the fuses are in flawless condition. Defective fuses must be replaced. See detailed operating instructions

Measurement cables and establishing contacts

• Plugging in the measurement cables must not necessitate any undue force.
• Never touch conductive ends (e.g. of test probes).
• Fully unroll all measurement cables before starting a test/measurement. Never perform a test/measurement with the measurement cable rolled up.
• Avoid short-circuits due to incorrectly connected measurement cables.
• Ensure that alligator clips, test probes or Kelvin probes make good contact.

Data security

• Always create a backup copy of your measurement data.
• Observe and comply with the applicable national data protection regulations. Use the corresponding functions provided by the instrument such as access protection, as well as other appropriate measures.

Applications

Please read this important information!
Intended Use / Use for Intended Purpose
The measuring and test instruments in the PROFITEST MF series include

• PROFITEST MF XTRA (M534H)*

• PROFITEST MF TECH (M534K)*

• Article number on the rating plate (test instrument only); order numbers (instrument with standard scope of delivery or extended accessories) see data sheet.
  The test instruments are used to test the effectiveness of protective measures at stationary electrical installations per DIN VDE 0100-600, DIN VDE 0105-100, OVE E 8101, NIN / NIV and other country-specific standards. They also allow for testing of electric charging stations in accordance with EN 61851-1 (DIN VDE 0122-1), and earth measurements. The test instruments includes pre-defined test sequences for easy use; optionally, user-defined test sequences can be programmed.
  The test instruments are especially suited for tests during installation, initial start-up, and for recurrent tests and troubleshooting in electrical installations.
  The range of application of the test instruments covers all alternating and 3-phase current systems with nominal voltages of 230 V / 400 V (300 V / 500 V) with nominal frequencies of 16⅔ Hz / 50 Hz / 60 Hz / 200 Hz / 400 Hz.
  A system structure is created in the test instrument and the measured values are assigned to the objects. Completed tests and measured values can be saved and documented in a measure- ment and test report.
  Safety of the operator, as well as that of the test instrument, is only assured when it’s used for its intended purpose.
  Use for Other than Intended Purpose
  Using the test instrument for any purposes other than those described in these condensed operating instructions, or in the test instrument’s operating instructions, is contrary to use for intended purpose.
  Liability and Guarantee
  Gossen Metrawatt GmbH assumes no liability for property damage, personal injury or consequential damage resulting from improper or incorrect use of the product, in particular due to failure to observe the product documentation. Furthermore, all guarantee claims are rendered null and void in such cases. Nor does Gossen Metrawatt GmbH assume any liability for data loss.
  Opening the Instrument/Repairs
  The test instrument may only be opened by authorized, trained personnel in order to ensure flawless, safe operation and to assure that the guarantee isn’t rendered null and void. Even original replacement parts may only be installed by authorized, trained personnel.
  Unauthorized modification of the test instrument is prohibited. If it can be ascertained that the test instrument has been opened by unauthorized personnel, no guarantee claims can be honored by the manufacturer with regard to personal safety, measuring accuracy, compliance with applicable safety measures or any consequential damages.

Insert the enclosed, pre-charged compact rechargeable battery pack (Z502H):
➭ Loosen the screw on the battery com- partment cover (back of instrument).
➭ Remove the battery compartment cover.
➭ Insert the compact rechargeable battery pack.
➭ Replace the battery compartment cover.
➭ Screw the battery compartment cover into place.
