Installation of selected protective measures • Periodic inspection of protective measures With the help of the METRISO B530, you can perform all relevant ESD measurements in accordance with IEC 61340-4-1, IEC 61340-2-3 and IEC 61340-4-5. The following measurements and tests can be performed with the METRISO B530: •...
Safety Features and Precautions The electronic measuring and test instrument is manufactured Meaning of Symbols on the Instrument and tested in accordance with safety regulations IEC/EN 61010-1 Warning concerning a source of danger / VDE 0411-1. When used for its intended purpose, safety of the (attention: observe documentation!) operator, as well as that of the instrument, is assured.
Initial Start-Up Attention! Battery test Make sure that all of the batteries are inserted with correct Four different battery symbols, ranging from fully depleted to fully polarity. If just one battery is inserted with reversed polar- charged, continuously indicate the momentary charge level in the ity, it will not be recognized by the instrument and may upper left-hand corner of the display result in leakage from the batteries.

ESD Measurements Connection START Note ENTER Checking the Measurement Cables Before performing resistance measurement, the test probes on the measurement cables should be short-cir- cuited in order to assure that the instrument displays a value very close to 0 Ω (see section 8). This serves to pre- vent faulty connections or to identify any interruptions in the measuring cables.

However, the noticeable shock may lead to injury (e.g. resulting from a startled reaction etc.). Caution! Note If measurement is performed at a capacitive object such The instrument’s batteries are exposed to excessive as a long cable, it becomes charged with up to approx.
