1. SAFETY 1.1. International Safety Symbols This symbol, when adjacent to another symbol or terminal, indicates that the user must refer to this manual for further information. This symbol, when adjacent to a terminal, indicates that hazardous voltages may be present under normal use. Double insulation.

Test Leads Zeroed Dangerous Voltage AC+DC Mode RCD Current Multiplication Factor Data Hold RCD Touch Voltage Setting Battery Level Indicator Current Waveform Auto Power-Off RCD Type...
2.3. Button Description Mode: Switches between different measurement modes. Voltage mode only. Left: Toggles display results or adjusts setting options. HOLD: Keeps the measurement on the display as it was at the time the button is pressed. Up: Adjusts setting options. Down: Adjusts setting options.
2.4. Selector Switch Description Voltage: Measures AC or DC voltage between two points in a circuit. Insulation Resistance: Measures the resistance of insulation materials using selectable test voltages Phase Sequence Test: Checks the correct sequence of a three- phase power supply. Low-Current Resistance: Measures resistance with a minimal test current of 200μA.
3. MEASUREMENTS WARNING: During measurements (Fault loop impedance, RCD), avoid touching earthed and accessible parts in the tested electrical installation to prevent shock. During measurements, do not switch the selector switch as this may damage the meter and pose a hazard to the user. Press and hold the Setup/Bluetooth Button while switching on the meter to enter the setup menu.
3.2. Insulation Resistance Measurement 1. Set the Selector Switch: Turn the knob switch to the R 250V, 500V or R 1000V position. 2. Connect the Test Leads: Connect the test leads as shown in the figure below. 3. Initiate Measurement: Press and hold the START/ENTER button to begin the measurement.
5. View Results: Check the LCD display for the phase sequence results. The possible results are as follows: 6. Press the START/ENTER Button to start a new measurement. Note: For this test, ensure that the input AC voltage is within the range of 100 to 550V and the frequency is between 45 and 65Hz.
3.4. Low-Current Resistance Measurement 1. Set the selector switch to the Rx Position. 2. Connect the meter as shown in the figure below. 3. The tester will immediately and continuously test while this function is selected, you can view the test results. Press the ZERO Button to compensate for current resistance (zeroing the test leads).
3.6. Measurements of Fault Loop Parameters WARNING: If the mains under test includes residual current devices (RCDs), they should be bypassed during measurement. Note that bypassing may alter the circuit, causing results to differ slightly from actual values. After completing the measurement, restore the mains to its original state and verify the operation of the residual current device.
4. If the LCD is displaying “ZERO”, press the ZERO Button again to cancel the zeroing of the test lead resistance. 3.6.2. Measurement of Fault Loop Parameters in L-N, L-L, and L-PE Systems • RCDs present in the circuit may trip during measurement. •...

3. The LCD displaying “READY” indicates that the instrument is set up and ready for measurement. 4. Press the START/ENTER Button to begin the measurement. Read the measurement results and press the MODE or ZERO Button to view other results. Power supply Short circuit voltage U...
3.6.3. Measurement of Fault Loop Impedance in L-PE Systems Protected by an RCD • This feature measures fault loop impedance without altering the power supply, provided the residual current device (RCD) is rated at a minimum of 30mA. • If the L and N terminals are reversed, the tester will automatically adjust and continue the test.

Additional Display Information Meter is set up and ready for measurement. Voltage between the L and PE terminals is out of measurement range. Safe touch voltage has been exceeded. Indicates a measurement error due to a loss of voltage after the measurement. RCD did not trip or the RCD tripped while measuring U and/or R .

Type A/AC/RCD Type A/AC/B RCD 5. Press the START/ENTER Button to begin the measurement. 6. Read the measurement results and press the MODE or ZERO Button to view other results. Touch Voltage U Tripping Time l n Notes and information displayed by the meter are the same as in section 3.7.1.
3.7.3. Automatic Measurement of RCD Parameters • The instrument automatically measures the RCD tripping time t , tripping current I , touch voltage U and earth resistance R • In this mode, you only need to initiate the measurement and reset the RCD each time it trips;...
Additional Information RCD is in good working order. RCD is defective. RCD needs to be reset. 4. STORING MEASUREMENT RESULTS • The instrument can store up to 1000 sets of measurements, organized into multiple groups. • The entire memory is divided into 10 memory Banks, each with 99 memory Cells.
4.2. Accessing Stored Measurements 1. Switch on the meter. Set the Selector switch to the MEM Position. 2. Press the ESC Button to select the Bank or Cell, press the HOLD Buttons to adjust the Bank or Cell, and press the MODE or ZERO Buttons to view the stored measurement data.
