TIF900 1. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS AND PROCEDURES This instrument complies with safety Standards EN61557 and EN61010-1 related to electronic measuring instruments. CAUTION For your own safety and to avoid damaging the instrument follow the procedures described in this instruction manual and read carefully all notes...
TIF900 1.2. DURING USE CAUTION An improper use may damage the instrument and/or its components or injure the operator. Before selecting any function, first disconnect the test leads from the circuit under test. When the instrument is connected to circuits never touch any unused terminal.
TIF900 2. GENERAL DESCRIPTION Dear Customer, the instrument you have purchased, whether used according to the instructions given in this manual, will grant you accurate and reliable measurements. Thanks to a development of newest conception assuring double insulation and overvoltage category III you will enjoy the highest safety.
TIF900 4.2. DC VOLTAGE MEASUREMENT CAUTION The maximum input voltage is 550+10%V. Don’t try to measure higher voltages to avoid risks of electrical shocks or serious damages to the instrument. Fig. 2: Connection of the instrument’s terminals during test Turn on the instrument Press the arrow keys to select 3.
TIF900 4.3. AC VOLTAGE MEASUREMENT CAUTION The maximum input voltage is 550+10%V. Don’t try to measure higher voltages to avoid risks of electrical shocks or serious damages to the instrument. Fig. 3: Connection of the instrument’s terminals during test Turn on the instrument Press the arrow keys to select 3.
TIF900 : 4.4. RESISTANCE MEASUREMENT AND CONTINUITY TEST CAUTION Before taking resistance measurements make sure that the circuit under test is not powered and that eventual condensers are discharged. The measured value is out of accuracy if an input voltage is present.
TIF900 Fig. 5: Connection of the instrument’s terminals during calibration procedure Press GO to perform the measurement Press and hold ZERO key for 2s. The instrument resets the resistance of the MODE cables, the symbol ZERO is displayed PEAK 5. The measured value is stored by the instrument and used as offset (which means it’s deducted from all continuity tests performed) until a new pressing of the ZERO key for 2s that voids the calibration.
TIF900 4.5. Lo: CONTINUITY TEST ON EARTH, PROTECTIVE AND EQUALIZING POTENTIAL CONDUCTORS The measurement is performed with a test current higher than 200 mA (R<5Ω) and open circuit voltage ranging from 4 to 24V DC according to EN 61557-2 and VDE 0413 part 4.
TIF900 2. Short-circuit the cable ends with each other as shown in Fig. 7 making sure that the metallic parts of test probes and crocodiles are in good touch Fig. 7: Connection of the instrument’s terminals during calibration procedure Press GO to perform the measurement Press and hold ZERO key for 2s.
TIF900 4.6. M: INSULATION RESISTANCE MEASUREMENT TEST VOLTAGE 250V, 500V, 1000V DC The measurement is performed according to EN 61557-2 and VDE 0413 part 1. CAUTION before performing the insulation test make sure that the circuit under test is not energized and all relative loads are disconnected ...
TIF900 CAUTION The message on the display means that the instrument is discharging eventual capacitors. During this phase never disconnect nor touch test leads. 9. At the end of the test the instrument Nominal test voltage value automatically discharge eventual capacitors...
