1. SAFETY 1.1. Safety Information • Read the following safety information carefully before attempting to operate or service the meter. • To avoid damages to the instrument do not apply the signals that exceed the maximum limits shown in the technical specifications tables. •...
2. Description 2.1. Meter Overview The MT355 is a simple to use Earth Loop Impedance tester to make the accurate measurement of Earth Loop Impedance and Neutral Loop Impedance (Phase Neutral Impedance) quick and easy. Two types of tests are performed, one being No-Trip technology to avoid tripping of RCD's (ELCB's) whist performing the Loop Impedance Tests.
2.3. Display Icons Description - Configuration options, settings you can make within the measurement functions. - Arrows above or below the terminal indicator symbol indicate reversed polarity, check the connection or check the wiring to correct. - Terminal indicator symbol. - Phase Rotation - Primary display and measurement units.
3.OPERATION 3.1. Voltage and Frequency Measurement 1. Turn the rotary switch to Volts/Phase Rotation Position. 2. Link the test line. 3. Press the MODE Button select terminals (L-PE, L-N, N-PE). • The instrument can automatically distinguish AC and DC voltages, if voltage is AC, The primary (Upper) display shows the AC voltage.
3.3. Loop Impedance Measurement 1. Turn the rotary switch to PSC/HI or NO TRIP Position. 2. Link the test line. 3. Press the MODE Button to select test mode L-N or L-PE. 4. Check the wires state: • Before pushing the TEST Button, certify that the port wiring is correct and that there are port wiring instructions on the screen Figure (1) is •...
3.4. Earth Resistance Testing by Loop Method • You can also use the tester to measure the earth resistance component of the total loop resistance. • You can use three leads or the mains cord to perform this test, use the connection shown in Figure below when making a 3-wire connection for earth resistance loop test.
3.5. TRIP HI-A Loop Impedance and Prospective Short Current Measurement • If there is a RCD or fuse in the circuit, they must be bridged out prior to testing the loop impedance when using the TRIP HI-A range. • According to IEC 60364, every loop should meet the formula: Ra≤50/Ia Ra: Loop impedance 50: Max of touch voltage...
• You can press the Bluetooth/Backlight Button to turn the backlight on or off during use, but it will not turn it off automatically. 3.7. Bluetooth Operation • Download the Major Tech METER-X app on iOS & Android devices. • Hold down the Bluetooth/Backlight button to turn the Blueooth feature ON/OFF.
