We appreciate your having purchased our low-resistance meter. The MMR-620 / 630 meter is a mod- ern, high-quality measuring device, which is easy and safe to use. Please acquaint yourself with the present manual in order to avoid measuring errors and prevent possible problems related to operation of the meter.
In case of measurements of installations, sub-assemblies and devices under a dangerous voltage, the MMR-620 / 630 meters may solely be operated by qualified personnel who are properly au- thorised to work on electric installations. Operation of the meter realised by unauthorised person- nel may result in damage to the device and constitute a source of danger for the user.
3. Start the appropriate programme in the computer and follow the instructions. Measurement mode The MENU-Measurement mode option is described in Chapter 3.1 Display settings The MMR-620 / 630 meter permits selection of two modes of presentation of measurement results: MMR-620 ● MMR-630 – USER MANUAL...
The user may perform manual calibration of the meter, provided they have standard resis- tors, minimum grade 0.05%, of the following nominal values: 0,2m, 2m, 20m, 200m, 2, 20, 200 and 2k. Calibration is performed separately for each range. MMR-620 ● MMR-630 – USER MANUAL...
It is possible to upgrade the control programme without having the meter serviced. Should upgrading be necessary, the following actions will be realised: Download the meter programming software from the manufacturer’s web site (www.sonel.pl), Connect the meter to a computer, ...
In order to obtain basic information on the manufacturer of the meter and the version of the pro- gramme, perform the following actions: in MENU select About producer & programme, press the button MMR-620 ● MMR-630 – USER MANUAL...
This is done by selection of the appropriate options in MENU – Measurement mode. 3.1.1 Selection of the type of object The MMR-620 / 630 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.
If the single-direction flow of current is selected the resistance value R is not displayed. 3.1.3 Measurement triggering The MMR-620 / 630 meter has three modes of measurement triggering: normal, automatic and continuous. In the normal mode one measurement of resistance is performed.
3.1.5 Measurement range selection For the purpose of measurement of the resistance of the object the MMR-620 / 630 meter applies measurement currents within the range between 0.1mA and10A. The measurement range and thus the measurement current may be selected automatically or manually.
Press button to go to the measurement mode. Connection of the meter and start of measurements NOTE! Connection of a voltage exceeding 440VAC between any two measurement termi- nals may cause damage to the meter. MMR-620 ● MMR-630 – USER MANUAL...

Memory of the measurement results MMR-620 / 630 meters are equipped with a memory of 990 resistance measurement results. 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 saved in a cell of a selected...
- In the automatic mode of measurement release after a modification of the number of the bank or cell, exit the setting mode using the button or ESC, or start the first measurement using the button START. MMR-620 ● MMR-630 – USER MANUAL...
Replacement of accumulators The MMR-620 / 630 meter is equipped with a package of NiMH accumulators and a charger. Those accumulators have a series of advantages, such as lack of harmful substances, no memory ef- fect, higher capacity as compared to NiCd accumulators at the same size.
After approximately 5 seconds (the time is roughly indicated by the progress bar) the meter automati- cally passes to the charging mode indicated with a frame. In order to change the charging mode, pro- ceed as follows: MMR-620 ● MMR-630 – USER MANUAL...

- As a result of interferences in the network it is possible that the process of charging of accumulators will finish too fast. In the case too short a time of charging is detected it is necessary to remove the plug of the charger and start charging anew. MMR-620 ● MMR-630 – USER MANUAL...
However charging at a high temperature of the environment apart from reducing the lifetime causes an accelerated increase of the temperature of the accumulator, which will be not charged to its full capacity. MMR-620 ● MMR-630 – USER MANUAL...
Worn-out electronic equipment should be sent to a collection point in accordance with the law of worn-out electric and electronic equipment. Before the equipment is sent to a collection point, do not dismantle any elements. Observe the local regulations concerning disposal of packages, worn-out batteries and ac- cumulators MMR-620 ● MMR-630 – USER MANUAL...
