1.1. PRELIMINARY INSTRUCTIONS**
- This instrument has been designed for use in environments of pollution degree 2.
- It can be used for VOLTAGE and CURRENT measurements on installations with CAT IV 600V and CAT III 1000V.
- We recommend following the normal safety rules devised by the procedures for carrying out operations on live systems and using the prescribed PPE to protect the user against dangerous currents and the instrument against incorrect use.
- In case the lack of indication of the presence of voltage may represent a danger for the operator, always carry out a continuity measurement before carrying out the measurement on the live system, in order to confirm the correct connection and condition of the leads.
- Only the leads supplied with the instrument guarantee compliance with the safety standards. They must be in good conditions and be replaced with identical models, when necessary.
- Do not test circuits exceeding the specified voltage limits.
- Do not perform any test under environmental conditions exceeding the limits indicated in § 6.2.1.
- Check that the battery is correctly inserted.
- Make sure that the LCD display and the rotary switch indicate the same function.
1.2. DURING USE
Please carefully read the following recommendations and instructions:
CAUTION
- Failure to comply with the caution notes and/or instructions may damage the instrument and/or its components or be a source of danger for the operator.
- Before activating the rotary switch, disconnect the test leads from the circuit being measured.
- When the instrument is connected to the circuit being measured, do not touch any unused terminal.
- Do not measure resistance in case external voltages are present; even if the instrument is protected, an excessive voltage may cause malfunction.
- While measuring, if the value or the sign of the quantity being measured remain unchanged, check if the HOLD function is enabled.
1.3. AFTER USE
When measurement is complete, set the rotary switch to OFF to turn off the
instrument.
If the instrument is not to be used for a long time, remove the batteries.
1.4. DEFINITION OF MEASUREMENT (OVERVOLTAGE) CATEGORY
Standard “IEC/EN61010-1: Safety requirements for electrical equipment for
measurement, control and laboratory use, Part 1: General requirements”,
defines what measurement category, commonly called overvoltage category, is. §
6.7.4: Measured circuits, reads:
(OMISSIS)
Circuits are divided into the following measurement categories:
-
Measurement category IV is for measurements performed at the source of the lowvoltage installation.
Examples are electricity meters and measurements on primary overcurrent protection devices and ripple control units. -
Measurement category III is for measurements performed on installations inside buildings.
Examples are measurements on distribution boards, circuit breakers, wiring, including cables, bus-bars, junction boxes, switches, socket-outlets in the fixed installation, and equipment for industrial use and some other equipment, for example, stationary motors with permanent connection to fixed installation. -
Measurement category II is for measurements performed on circuits directly connected to the low-voltage installation.
Examples are measurements on household appliances, portable tools and similar equipment. -
Measurement category I is for measurements performed on circuits not directly connected to MAINS.
Examples are measurements on circuits not derived from MAINS, and specially protected (internal) MAINS-derived circuits. In the latter case, transient stresses are variable; for that reason, the standard requires that the transient withstand capability of the equipment is made known to the user.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The instrument carries out the following measurements:
- DC Voltage up to 1500V
- AC TRMS Voltage up to 1000V
- DC/AC TRMS Voltage with low impedance (LoZ)
- DC/AC TRMS Current with transducer clamps
- Resistance and Continuity test
- Diode test
- Capacity
- Current and voltage frequency
- Duty Cycle
- Temperature with K-type probe
Each of these functions can be selected by means of the appropriate switch.
The instrument is also equipped with function keys (see § 4.2) and backlight.
The instrument is also equipped with an Auto Power OFF function (which can be
disabled), which automatically switches off the instrument 15 minutes after
the last time a function key was pressed or the rotary switch was turned. To
switch on the instrument again, turn the rotary switch.
2.1. MEASURING AVERAGE VALUES ANDTRMS VALUES
Measuring instruments of alternating quantities are divided into two big
families:
AVERAGE-VALUE meters: instruments measuring the value of the sole wave at
fundamental frequency (50 or 60 Hz).
TRMS (True Root Mean Square) VALUE meters: instruments measuring the TRMS
value of the quantity being tested.
With a perfectly sinusoidal wave, the two families of instruments provide
identical results.
With distorted waves, instead, the readings shall differ. Average-value meters
provide the RMS value of the sole fundamental wave; TRSM meters, instead,
provide the RMS value of the whole wave, including harmonics (within the
instruments bandwidth). Therefore, by measuring the same quantity with
instruments from both families, the values obtained are identical only if the
wave is perfectly sinusoidal. In case it is distorted, TRMS meters shall
provide higher values than the values read by average-value meters.
2.2. DEFINITION OF TRUE ROOT MEAN SQUARE VALUE AND CREST FACTOR
The root mean square value of current is defined as follows: “In a time equal
to a period, an alternating current with a root mean square value of 1A
intensity, circulating on a resistor, dissipates the same energy that, during
the same time, would be dissipated by a direct current with an intensity of
1A”. This definition results in the numeric expression: The root mean square
value is indicated with the acronym RMS.
The Crest Factor is defined as the relationship between the Peak Value of a
signal and its RMS value: CF
This value changes with the signal waveform, for a purely sinusoidal wave it
is 2 =1.41. In case of distortion, the Crest Factor takes higher values as
wave distortion increases.
