Product Usage Instructions

Caution
Do not change functions on the test instrument with the test leads in place, i.e. changing from a dead test to a test where the supply is required could damage the instrument.

Declaration of Conformity
This instrument has been tested according to the below regulations:

EN 61326: Electrical equipment for measurement, control and laboratory use.
EN 61010-1: Safety requirements for electrical equipment for measurement, control and laboratory use.

Error Codes
Various error conditions are detected by the tester and are indicated with the icon, Err, and an error number on the primary display. See Table 1 for the error codes and their respective solutions.

Error Condition	Code	Solution

Check the installation, in particular, the voltage between N
and PE.| Fault Voltage| Check the voltage between N and PE.
Wait while the tester cools down.| OverTemp| Allow the tester to cool down before resuming testing.
Switch off all appliances (Loop, RCD measurements) and move the
earth stakes (earth measurement).| Excessive Noise| Turn off all appliances and adjust the position of the earth
stakes.
Put the stakes deeper into the soil. Tamp down the soil
directly around the stakes. Pour water around the stakes but not at
the earth under test.| Excessive Probe Resistance| Adjust the position of the stakes and ensure proper soil
contact.
Return the tester to a Service Center.| Self Test Fails| Contact a Service Center for assistance.

4 Disposal
For the disposal of batteries in the EU, the 2006/66/EC directive of the European Parliament applies. Due to the contained pollutants, batteries must not be disposed of as household waste. They must be given to collection points designed for that purpose. In order to comply with the EU directive 2012/19/EU we take our devices back. We either re-use them or give them to a recycling company which disposes of the devices in line with law. For countries outside the EU, batteries and devices should be disposed of in accordance with your local waste regulations. If you have any questions, please contact PCE Instruments.
