In the safety service scope, the N20PLUS meter meets the requirements of the EN 61010-1 standard. Observations concerning the operational safety: ▪ All operations concerning transport, installation, and commissioning as well as maintenance, must be carried out by qualified, skilled personnel, and national regulations for the prevention of accidents must be observed.
4. INSTALLATION The meter has separable strips with screw terminals which enable the con- nection of external wires of 2.5 mm . In the version for current measure- ment, the plug enables permanent fi xing to the socket by means of screws. One must prepare a hole of 92 +0.6 ...

5.3. Meter Configuration The free eCon software (available at www.lumel.com.pl) is destined for the N20PLUS meter configuration. The meter should be connected to a PC computer via the RS485 to USB converter, e.g. PD10, and then in the E-Con program, select the transmission parameters according to those set in the meter.

b) decimal point – measurement precision. We have 5 possible display configurations at choice. When choosing, one must follow the measurement precision, e.g.: for the 10 V range – the measurement error is 0.02 V, so the choice of precision with three places after the decimal point does not give more precise measurements.
