1. INTRODUCTION

1.1. Safety

Read this User’s Manual carefully and completely and follow all

instructions contained therein. Otherwise using of the instrument

may be dangerous for operator, for installation under test under

test or for the instrument!

Explanation o the symbols on the instruments:

Protection class (double insulation)

Danger o electric shock

Warning concerning a point o danger!

Read User’s Manual and observe all precautions!

The instrument meets the requirements o relevant European standards

I there is reason to believe that sa e operation has become impossible,

put the instrument out o operation and secure it against any unintended

operation. Sa e operation must be presumed to be no longer possible, i :

•The instrument does not operate properly any longer. In this case, we

recommend RESET as described in the Chapter 3.6.

•The instrument, cables, connectors, plugs or accessories exhibits visible

damages.

•The instrument was stored under un avourable conditions or a long period.

•The instrument was exposed to extraordinary stress caused by transport.

•The batteries compartment cover is not properly astened by both screws.

Observe the ollowing sa ety precautions:

•Make sure that the instrument, measuring cables and all other accessories

are in lawless condition, e.g. no damaged insulation, no broken cables or

plugs etc.

•Do not touch conductive parts o test tips, crocodiles, test cables etc., even i

only one test tip, crocodile, test cable etc. is connected to installation.

DANGER OF ELECTRIC SHOCK!

•Only a trained, skilled person, who is amiliar with hazardous voltage

operations, can handle the instrument.

•It is necessary to respect all sa ety regulations applicable to particular

measurement.

•Use only standard or optional accessories supplied with the instrument by

your distributor.

•Do not press any key (unless otherwise stated in this manual) when

connecting the instrument to the measured installation.

•The instrument can be used only under conditions that are speci ied in

Technical Speci ication, see Chapter 5.

•Do not expose the instrument to aggressive gases, vapours, liquids and dust.

•I you have trans erred the unit rom cold to hot environment, it can cause the

condensation. We recommend a short acclimatization.

•I the device will be out o operation or a longer time, it is recommended to

remove the batteries. This prevents the possibility o leakage into the device.

Leakage can cause serious damage or to destroy the instrument.

•The instrument contains two airly strong magnets. Do not leave them near

the equipment and items that could be damaged by the magnetic ield - such

as watches, credit cards with magnetic strips, etc.

•Images in this manual are illustrative and may vary slightly rom the actual

state.

1.2. Ge eral descriptio of the i strume t

The GIGATESTpro is a compact instrument with patent-protected storage

system o the test tips in the transport position – sharp tips are sa ely hidden.

High contrast bright multicolour graphic OLED display ensures excellent

legibility. When measured under low light conditions it is possible to illuminate

the measured object by a bright white LED light positioned on the ront side o

the housing.

The GIGATESTpro can measure:

- insulation resistance with voltage 50 V ÷ 1000 V

- varistor surge protection devices (SPDs) 50 V ÷ 1000 V

- DC and AC voltage

3. MEASUREMENTS

3.1. Tur i g the i strume t o a d off, sta dby, auto power off

Hold the ST RT key pressed until the device turns on.

The instrument is turned o a ter two short pressing/releasing the ST RT button,

while no voltage can be applied on the test tips.

The instrument enters standby mode (reduced display brightness) a ter short

time o inactivity (no key pressed, no voltage applied on the test tips).

From standby mode (to ull display brightness), the instrument enters a ter

pressing any button or by applying the voltage on the test tips.

Auto power o occurs when the instrument is idle (no key pressed, no voltage

applied on the test tips) or about a minute.

A ter turning o the device can be switched on again a ter about 1s.

3.2. Notes a d pri ciples applicable to all measureme ts

•Select required parameter or unction by the RISO/USPD,FUNC,∆UTEST

and ∇UTEST keys. The ST RT key starts measurement. All set parameters

and unctions remain valid until they are changed.

•I voltage applied on the test tips is > about 10 V, its value is displayed in the

UIN area and simultaneously warning symbol “!” is displayed. The ST RT

button does not start measurement:

Fig. 3.1 Example of voltage measurement

•I battery is low (only red part o battery indicator is displayed), then you can’t

start the measurement by the ST RT key – a ter pressing it the low battery

symbol is displayed or a while. Therea ter, the instrument goes into status

be ore pressing the ST RT key. Battery must be replaced / accumulators

charged as described in the Chapter 4.1.

•When measuring very high values o insulation resistance, put the test leads

in ree space, or put them to a pad made o high quality insulating material.

•Be ore starting the measurement by the ST RT key reliably connect the test

tips with the measured object. During the measurement neither early

disconnect the test leads nor interrupt the connection with the measured

object. Doing so may cause displaying o incorrect values.

3.3. Measureme ts of the particular fu ctio s

W RNING

•Make sure tested object is deenergized be ore measurement!

•Do not touch tested object or conductive parts o the test tips during

measurement or a ter measurement, until tested object is discharged – RISK

OF ELECTRIC SHOCK!

•Tested object can be charged to voltage up to 1050 V. Do not disconnect the

test tips rom tested object during or immediately a ter the measurement.

A ter the measurement is inished, tested object is automatically discharged

by the instrument. Voltage drop is indicated on the display simultaneously

with warning symbol “!”. Disconnect the test tips when the voltage drops to a

sa e value, i.e. when warning symbol “!” disappears.

•When measuring the insulation resistance between conductors, all

appliances must be disconnected.

3.3.1. Voltage

•Connect the instrument to object under test. Example o connection:

Fig. 3.3 Example of connection

•I voltage applied on the test tips is > about 10 V, its value is displayed in the

UIN area. For AC voltage, symbol ”~” is displayed. For DC voltage, symbol “+”

is displayed i the test tip on instrument’s case is connected to +, or “-” is

displayed in case o the opposite polarity. Warning symbol “!” is displayed,

too. The ST RT button does not start measurement.
