MIC-30 meter is a modern, easy and safe measuring device. Please acquaint yourself with the present manual in order to avoid measuring errors and prevent possible problems related to operation of the meter. MIC-30 – USER MANUAL...
Safety MIC-30 meter is designed for performing check tests of protection against electric shock in mains systems. The meter is used for making measurements and providing results to determine safety of electrical installations. Therefore, in order to provide conditions for correct operation and the correctness of the obtained results, the following recommendations must be observed: ...
- Each change DAR PI <-> Ab1Ab2 will set standard times t1, t2 and t3: - for PI and DAR t1=30s, t2=60s, t3=none, - for Ab1 and Ab2 t1=15s, t2=60s, t3=none. - Description of a firmware update is presented in the chapter 6. MIC-30 – USER MANUAL...

Notes: During measurements of insulation resistance, dangerous voltage up to 1 kV occurs at the ends of test leads of MIC-30 meter. It is forbidden to disconnect test leads before the measurement is completed. Failure to obey the above instruction will lead to high voltage electric shock and make it impossible to discharge the object tested.

In order to ensure the communication of the meter with a computer, Bluetooth module is required with an additional software. A program that may be used for this purpose is Sonel Reader. It allows users to read and display the measurement data stored in the meter memory. This program may be downloaded free from the manufacturer's website: www.sonel.pl.
During the process of pairing the meter with a PC enter PIN code compatible with the PIN code of the meter defined in main settings. On the computer start data storing programme. Press ESC to exit the transmission mode. Standard pin for Bluetooth is "1234". MIC-30 – USER MANUAL...
PIN code of an application must be compatible with the PIN code of the meter defined in main settings. Press ENTER to start the transmission. Press ESC to exit the transmission mode. Standard pin for OR-1 is "123". MIC-30 – USER MANUAL...
- To exit the mode press ESC, this is possible until the meter starts the process of memory reprogramming - at that time all buttons are inactive. - After completing the update the meter is automatically switched off. - After switching on, the meter shortly displays the current number of internal software (firmware). MIC-30 – USER MANUAL...
The meter switches off automatically. 7.2 Replacing battery/rechargeable batteries MIC-30 Meters are powered by four AA alkaline LR6 batteries or rechargeable batteries of NiMH type. NOTE! Before removing the battery cover, disconnect the test leads. To replace the batteries/ rechargeable batteries: 1.
The casing of the meter may be cleaned with a soft, damp cloth using all-purpose detergents. Do not use any solvents or cleaning agents which might scratch the casing (powders, pastes, etc.). The electronic system of the meter does not require maintenance. MIC-30 – USER MANUAL...
