Safety is the responsibility of the user. Before operating the RMO-H, please read the following safety instructions carefully. It is not recommended the RMO-H being used (or even turned on) without careful observation of the instructions listed in this Manual. The RMO-H should only be operated by trained and authorized personnel.

1.1.2 Terms of Use • The RMO-H shall be used only if it is in a good technical condition. Its use shall be in accordance with local safety and industrial regulations. Adequate precautions must be taken to avoid any risks related to high voltages associated with this equipment and nearby objects.
Manual RMO-H • Do not use the RMO-H without the extra protective ground cables supplied with the RMO-H. It must never be operated in a non-grounded configuration as this may result in an electrical shock to the user or damage the RMO-H. Always establish this connection first before establishing any other connections and remove this connection as the very last one.
Manual RMO-H 2 Description RMO-H is a handheld Micro Ohmmeter based on a state of the art technology, using the most advanced battery and switch mode technique available today. RMO-H is the battery supplied device, independent from the mains power supply.

NOTE: Cables should be connected and removed to/from RMO-H device ONLY when the RMO-H is switched off. CAUTION: Always connect the measuring cables to the RMO-H first and then to the test object; and when disconnecting, always disconnect the cables from the test object first and after that from the RMO-H.
When testing high-voltage circuit breakers with RMO-H, a different cable’s length could be used. The short cable (red cable, 1,3 m) connects the RMO-H to the CB’s bushing which is closer to the test person and the device, while long cable (black cable, 3 or 5 m) is connected to the distant bushing on the other side of the breaking point.

Using buttons UP/DOWN default value is 100 µΩ. When the device is turned off and then turned on, the RMO-H remembers the last saved setting of an Rmax value and a status. Once these parameters are defined, press to return to the Settings menu.
Manual RMO-H Setting Language To set RMO-H’s language, please use the buttons, and then button to select the Set UP/DOWN ENTER Language menu. Figure 3-9: The Language screen If the user is satisfied with the values, all the selections can be confirmed by pressing ENTER.

Manual RMO-H Once a test is finished, the RMO-H automatically changes to the Result menu to display the test results. The Result menu provides the result memory location, measured resistance value, measured test current and voltage, as well as the parameters set for the test (set test current).
Any operational error is indicated by an error status message. Error Message "SD Card Initiation Failed" The RMO-H device has a built-in SD card. The SD card is used to store internal device information and is not accessible to the user.
The display will not show this as an error message. 4.3 Error Message "Open Connection" If one of RMO-H Current Cables ("+" or "-") is disconnected, from the test set or from the test object at the start or during the test, the error message "Open Connection" is displayed.
3. Check if the battery is charging (charging is illustrated in the battery symbol – upper right part of the display) 4. If it is not possible to turn ON the RMO-H, connect it to the charger and again try to turn ON the instrument.
