CONTROLS AND INDICATORS (Continued) 7. High Current Output Connection This receptacle is for connection of the high current output leads. 8. Output Energized Indicator: This indicator illuminates under any of the following conditions: a. A test is in progress. No test cables should be connected, disconnected or handled while this light is on. 9.
ELECTRICAL SET-UP Line / Generator Powered Operation Locate the desired location for the test set. Prepare the main power input cable for plugging into the proper facility or generator power. Leave plug unconnected at this time. Ensure that generator is properly grounded with facility ground or ground (earthing) rod. Measurement Lead Connection WARNING: Main power switch on front panel must be in the OFF position before proceeding.

9) The instrument will make a beeping sound and the “Warning: Test in Progress” light will come 10) Upon completing the test, the MRM-100 should give a result between 987 and 1013 micro- Ohms at 100 Amps or between 983 and 1017 micro-Ohms at 10 Amps.
Troubleshooting Operational Problems Higher than Expected Readings Resistance readings which seem higher than normal may be due to corroded terminals on the unit under test or on the measurement cables. The connections should be cleaned off and the test should be repeated. If the problem persists, follow the instructions in “OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS –...
STORAGE OF EQUIPMENT If the equipment will be stored for a prolonged period, the following precautions are recommended. The equipment should be covered and kept in a temperate, dry environment (non- condensing, -20 to 55°C). In no case should the test unit be stored outdoors (unless previously specified in the original purchase agreement).
MAINTENANCE CHANGING THE PAPER ROLL To change the paper roll, proceed as follows: (also see diagrams on underside of printer cover) 1) Open the printer cover and press down the swinging support of the print mechanism at the point marked PUSH. Remove empty paper reel. 2) Insert the end of the roll in the slit of the print mechanism.
RECOMMENDED SPARE PARTS Phenix Technologies recommends that the customer purchase and stock the following parts for normal maintenance of the unit. The recommended quantity should be sufficient to support the unit during normal operation. If the unit will be operated at an isolated site for an extended period or will be subjected to unusual stresses, a larger quantity of parts should be stocked as spares.
When your purchase order is received at our office, a representative of Phenix Technologies will contact you to confirm the current price of the part being ordered. If a part you order has been replaced with a new or improved part, an Applications Engineer will contact you concerning any change in part number.
Serial Number Reason for Return Cause of Defect If Phenix Technologies, Inc. deems return of the part appropriate, it will then issue an "Authorization for Return". If return is not deemed advisable, other inspection arrangements will be made. NOTE: Material received at this plant without the proper authorization shall be held as "Customer's Property"...
