Safety The MMR-620 meter has been designed to realise measurements of resistance of dif- ferent kinds of connections (welded, soldered, contact connections) in electric installations. The results of the measurements determine the safety conditions of the installation. There- fore, in order to provide conditions for correct operation and the correctness of the obtained results, the following recommendations must be observed: •...
If the required accessories such have not been purchased along with the meter, then they are available from the manufacturer or an authorised distributor. The accessories may be used in case of many devices manufactured by SONEL S.A. which are equipped with the RS-232 interface.
In the mode of automatic saving of the result in the memory, it is possible to view for three seconds the set limits pressing the ESC button. The limits of the acceptable range of the measurement results is set in MENU: OPERATING MANUAL MMR-620 Revision 1.6...

3.1.1 Selection of the type of object ject The MMR-620 meter permits selection of one of the three types of objects: The measurement marked with the symbol is the shortest measurement (3s) and its purpose is to test objects of purely resistance-related character.
R is not displayed. 3.1.3 Measurement triggering Meas- urement The MMR-620 meter has three modes of measurement triggering: normal, automatic triggering and continuous. • In the normal mode one measurement of resistance is performed.
For the purpose of measurement of the resistance of the object the MMR-620 meter ap- plies measurement currents within the range between 0.1mA and10A. The measurement range and thus the measurement current may be selected automatically or manually.

Memory Memory of the measurement results MMR-620 meters are equipped with a memory of 990 resistance measurement re- sults. The location within the memory where a single result is saved is called a memory cell. The whole memory is divided into 10 banks comprising 99 cells. Each result may be...

Replacement of accumulators Replace- ment of The MMR-620 meter is equipped with a package of NiMH accumulators and accumu- charger. Those accumulators have a series of advantages, such as lack of harmful sub- lators stances, no memory effect, higher capacity as compared to NiCd accumulators at the same size.
When the charger power supply cable is plugged into a socket one of the following screens is displayed. If the charge of the accumulators does not exceed 50%, then the a) screen is displayed. If the charge of the accumulators exceeds 50%, then the b) screen is displayed. OPERATING MANUAL MMR-620 Revision 1.6...

The end of the proc- ess of charging is signalled by: Charging completed. In order to turn the device off, re- move the power supply plug of the charger. OPERATING MANUAL MMR-620 Revision 1.6...
The temperature of the environment in the case of prolonged storage should not exceed 30° C. If the accumulators are stored for a long time in a high temperature, then the occurring chemical processes may reduce their lifetime. OPERATING MANUAL MMR-620 Revision 1.6...

- Do not charge or use accumulators in extreme temperatures. Extreme temperatures re- duce the lifetime of batteries and accumulators. Avoid placing devices powered from ac- cumulators in very hot environments. The nominal working temperature must be abso- lutely observed. OPERATING MANUAL MMR-620 Revision 1.6...
